Prehab. The Ultimate Dorm Room Workout. Between classes, studying, and partying—not necessarily in that order—most college students don’t feel like they have time to walk 10 minutes to the campus gym, let alone work up a good sweat.

The Ultimate Dorm Room Workout

That’s why we enlisted BJ Gaddour—an Amherst College grad—to create the ultimate dorm room workout. You’ll only need a sturdy chair and a wall, no weights or other special equipment required. “By simply pressing against a wall, you can create enough tension in your muscles for a challenging strength workout,” Gaddour explains. Yes, he’s serious. Best of all, it takes just 15 minutes to finish a full-body strength routine. Directions Do each workout once at least once a week, resting a day between each session. As the workouts become easier, work progressively up to 5 rounds with no rest between the rounds.

Now, this article would have been up yesterday, but I ran into some technical difficulties with internet connections (which can happen when you’re on an island paradise), so you’re getting it today instead.

Fortunately, today’s post has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day; hopefully you can forgive me for not talking about how St. Instead, let’s talk about push ups! If you couldn’t already tell…push ups are kind of a big deal. I realized that I had never done a proper post on proper push ups (say that three times fast…or don’t – your call), so today is the day you’re going to make sure you’re doing things right.
