Here are some great alternative workouts!

1. Stairs

Yes, the Stairs!!!! This is a great way to get your heartrate up and get in some cardio. It's just like the stairmaster at the gym except you get to pace yourself.

2.Youtube videos

Youtube videos are one of the best inventions. There are so many different videos you can follow and pace yourself one. It's like a trainer but on a screen. You can use the internet as your advantage and workout at the same time.

3.Invest in some workout equipment

This can include some light weights or a jump rope. This way you have some options to work with and can do it at the pleasure of your house.

4.Remove the snow

If it is snowing this is a great way to use your arm muscles and build strength. One might think this is easy work but snow is heavy and hard to move around.

5.Skating!

If you have a staking rank near you go ahead and use it! It's a great workout and you get to have fun so double win!

6.Bowling!

Bowling is a great workout as it uses your core arm muscles when swinging and running up to the line!

7.Dancing

Dancing is hard and rigorous! You sweat alot and it's almost just like running! You are using your feet a lot and have a great workout routine.

Here are some great alternative workouts!

Dear College Students, Are You Undecided?

Up until last week, I always had a major. I was an international business major, finance major, psych major on the pre-medicine track… and now (finally) I am exactly where I should have been when I started college: undecided. I think there is too much pressure as a high school student to have a designated path about what you want to study, be when you 'grow up' and essentially spend the rest of your life doing. As an 18-year-old, I really feel like I tried to pin myself down to a major so that I had a set path to follow and something to look towards. This is probably very conventional and I know tons of people at school who have their minds made up about what they want to study.

Life Is Messy

Finding who you are in your 20s

Life Is Messy

I am 25 years old and just now learning who I am. When I separated from my husband I was terrified of what would follow. I did not know who I was outside of a relationship, nor did I know how to be on my own. It was scary, and I was so lost. I spent months discovering who I was, and what I wanted to be. I am still searching as I believe we never truly know who we are even when we "grow up". I came to the realization that I had been hiding a part of myself for my entire life. Coming out was not easy, growing up in the church made it scary, and hard. I was told growing up that being anything but straight was such a sin, and that i would spent my life in hell because of it. I came out to my parents when I was 25 years old. I picked up the phone and called my mom, and uttered the words "I'm queer" through tears. I knew my parents would be supportive, but that didn't make it any easier for me to vulnerable and raw. Since then, I have slowly started being more authentic in who I am, and not hide parts of me just because of people's shitty opinions.

Alone At The Met

I survive a day alone in NYC.

It was six in the evening. I was sitting in the courtyard of a Renaissance-era Italian villa, glancing around at the statues, most notably one of a boy removing a thorn from his foot. Despite the supposedly relaxing setting, I was incredibly anxious. My phone was at less than 5 percent battery, and once it died I would be completely disconnected from my family and peers, alone in one of the largest art museums in the country.
