Dorm Room Warrior

Common stressors in college can cause us to avoid physical activity. Finding the time to get a workout in can seem overwhelming, however finding time to do a 30-minute workout can be easier than you think. Here is a circuit you can do in your room to help you stay active. Make sure to warm-up and cool-down before and after every workout. Perform the exercises for 25 seconds and rest between each for 10 seconds.  Take a 2-minute rest after completion, and run through 3 times.

1. Squat (option: squat and jump)
2. Standing Lunge (options: pushback lunge, or wear your backpack
3. Glute Bridge (option: single leg)
