Quick Workout Routine

Let's be real, it is too cold outside to run or walk across campus to the fitness center. Instead of sitting in bed watching the latest episode of Supernatural, you can exercise! You don't need any equipment and most importantly, you don't have to leave your room.
Each group of 3 exercises should be performed for 30 seconds for as many repetitions as you can fit in. Repeat group of 3 exercises 3 times before moving on to the next group.
1. Ski hop
Keep both feet together and jump so that your toes are pointing 45 degrees to the left, then jump switch so they are pointing 45 degrees to the right.
2. V jump
In a push up position, put your feet out so they are shoulder width apart, then back together again.
3. Skater
Reach your right arm down toward your left foot, bringing your right leg behind your left foot (right foot shouldn't touch the ground). Jump sideways and switch doing the same motion but with your left arm and leg.
4. T-rotation
In a push up position, rotate sideways brining your right hand straight up toward the ceiling. Rotate back placing both hand on the floor returning to a push up position. Repeat with your left arm.
5. Glute ham press
Lay on your back with knees bent shoulder width apart, and feet placed on the floor. Lift your butt up, pressing your hips toward the ceiling. Shoulders stay flat on the floor and hands can be outstretched on the floor or crossed across the chest. Increase difficulty by raising one leg at a 45 degree angle and doing 2 sets (right and left).
