Easy workouts to fit into your daily schedule

Small Exercises For Your Busy Life

Exercising.

Some dread it, some love it. Others don't mind it, but simply have no time in their busy schedules. Between school, extracurricular activities and part-time jobs, working out falls lower on the "To-Do List". Here are a couple hacks I do throughout my daily routine if I can't find time to go to the gym.


1. Calf raises while brushing your teeth

I mean, what else were you going to do while brushing your teeth? Do as many as you can while feeling that burn (or get tired of having toothpaste in your mouth).

2. Squats while blow-drying your hair

Now, I don't expect you to do the whole up-down squat while trying to beautify your hair. However, squatting into a deep stance and holding it while blow-drying can help improve that strength in the thighs and butt.

3. Taking stairs two at a time. Always.

I don't know how or why I started doing this, but it's become a habit for me to climb stairs two at a time. It'll definitely make you feel more accomplished when you reach the top and your friends are two flights behind.

4. Parking farther away.

I know you've heard this one before... but actually do it!

Adding these simple exercises into your daily routine will help you feel better about yourself and make these mundane activities a little less boring.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
