Check Out These Great Workouts on the Web

Spring Break is, like, tomorrow, ladies, and if you’re anything like me, you have no time for gym in between classes and study groups and rounds of beer pong. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop working out and getting fit. I mean, that late night pizza isn’t going to work itself off. Nor will the nachos or the nacho-topped-pizza. So what’s a busy college girl to do? How about some great exercises from the comfort of your bedroom?!

That’s right! Change into your gym clothes, grab the sweat band, and shut your bedroom door tightly because you’re about to do a gym-style workout from the comforts of your own home.

The World Wide Web has TONS OF GREAT WORKOUTS…which means no more “I have no time/money” excuses. Check ‘em out today and let us know which ones make it hurt to laugh/lift your arms/sit on the toilet are the best.


Fit Finds: Exercise in Private…For Free!

When I wanted to have a solid sweat session (usually donning sweatpants, no makeup and a worn out sorority event t-shirt), the last place I wanted to be was on display in front of the whole campus. Where, let’s be honest, I would inevitably run into my uber-attractive grad student TA, that boy I may or may not have made out with Friday night or my ex-boyfriend’s new annoying girlfriend who seemed to think it was a good idea to get fully made up before the gym so that she resembled a melting troll on the treadmill.

All of those reasons are why the idea of working out in the privacy of my own apartment or dorm, was much more appealing from time to time. When I lived in my sorority house, my roommate turned me onto Denise Austin and her DVDs. Unfortunately, our floor space was limited so we couldn’t easily exercise at the same time, but somehow we each managed to squeeze in quite a few workout sessions in that tiny room.

Luckily, that experience prepared me for living (and working out) in a tiny NYC apartment post-college. However, funds are limited to say the least, so I can’t afford to buy DVDs extraneously. That’s why, in the time since I’ve been out of college to now, I have discovered a number of great, FREE workout options that you can follow to get fit, toned and best of all, do them in your underwear at home!
