Arm Circuit Workout [Dorm Room Workout]
I’m proud of my toned legs, but because my arms are weaker, I’m always looking for great arm workouts to build some upper body tone.
Ab Blast [Dorm Room Workout]
The one area of your body you can never work to much is your core. It helps with posture, stabilization, endurance, and overall bodily strength.

Get Fit With Burst Training [Dorm Room Workout]
Lately, study after study has come out showing that interval training, or burst training, is the most effective way to get in shape, stay in shape and increase endurance. So what is burst training?
Stress-Relieving Stretches [Dorm Room Workout]
Spending lots of time seated leads to general muscle tightness in your entire body, but for most people, it’s worst in the lower back and hips. So this week, I’ve demonstrated a few stretches that are great for relieving tension in those areas.
Yoga Abs [Dorm Room Workout]
Eating right and exercising daily is what’s really going to get you the “bikini body” you want. One of the body parts that’s most exposed in a bikini is your stomach, so I decided to focus on ab exercises this week. This video promises “sexy yoga abs.” It’s a bit cheesy, but take a look at that lady’s stomach! I want what she has.
Cardio Kickboxing [Dorm Room Workout]
Cardio kickboxing is one of my favorite workout classes. It’s awesome for toning the whole body, especially the arms and abs, not to mention the butt-kicking cardio. But I don’t make it to class as often as I would like, mostly because regular classes just aren’t in my budget.
Oblique Blast [Dorm Room Workout]
Most people think of their obliques as the “side” abdominal muscles, on either side of the “six pack” (actually called the rectus abdominis). That’s sort of true – your obliques are visible on either side of the rectus abdominis. But they’re actually a deeper layer of muscle – two layers, in fact – situated underneath the rectus abdominis. And those two layers of muscle wrap around your waist, kind of like a corset.

Dorm Room Workout: The Epic Dance Party
Have you ever gone out dancing and then realized the next day that you’re exhausted? And sore? (If you haven’t, you’re missing out.) That’s because those epic dance moves of yours are great for toning, not to mention cardio. So listen up class, because this week I’m giving you the best assignment ever: an epic dance party.
Dorm Room Workout: Doin’ It Dolphin Style
No, I’m not talking about sex. Although dolphins are very promiscuous animals. I’m talking about the dolphin pose, from yoga. It’s a great strengthener for your back, shoulders, and core. Plus, it’s quick, easy, and perfect for small spaces.
Dorm Room Workout: No Squats Here
Recently, the American Council on Exercise conducted a study to determine which exercises are best for toning the glutes and hamstrings. Good old squats and lunges were high on the list, but the top exercise for hamstring and glutes was the quadruped hip extension. What’s that, you ask? You’re about to find out.
Dorm Room Workout: Perfect Posture
Next time you’re in a classroom, look around. You’ll notice that there are very, very few people who always sit with perfect posture. Especially students. We spend such long hours sitting in class and studying that it’s really tempting to slump. I know I do. So for this week’s workout, I’ve put together a few exercises that will engage the muscles in your core and back that contribute to your posture.
Dorm Room Workout: The Quick, Total Body Workout
Today, I invented a new exercise! Ok, not really. I basically smushed together a bunch of different moves into one awesome total body exercise. It works all your major muscle groups – arms, abs, back and legs. This is what happens when you live in a way-too-tiny space. You get weirdly resourceful. Read on for step by step instructions and try out my new move!

Dorm Room Workout: Wake Up!
I have 9 a.m. classes every day this semester, and it’s killing me. I know, I know, people in the real world wake up and go to work that early all the time. But I haven’t had 9 a.m. classes in two years, and I’m having a lot of trouble getting moving in the morning. Exercise is one of the best ways to help yourself wake up.
Dorm Room Workout: One-Moment Meditation
Sometimes, when you’re tired, stressed, sick or just feeling crappy, a workout is not what your body needs. I know, you never thought you would hear me say that. But it’s true! Sometimes your body needs your help to repair and restore, not to beat it up more. But by telling you to skip the occasional workout, I don’t mean that you should ignore your body! Instead, I wanted to share a technique I just discovered.
Dorm Room Workout: Cardio Blast
As college students, it’s inevitable that we’ll all have some weeks where everything is just a bit too much. Maybe it’s because you have three midterms and a paper due, or maybe it’s because you had a few too many margaritas…every night last weekend. (Who, me? No!) So here’s your workout for the week when you have way too much work to get done and can’t even think about going to the gym.
