	Weekly Workout: On the Track By Katie McDonough May 11, 2013 - 3:15pm This is an awesome interval workout meant for a track, but if you can’t get to the track then you can make it workout outside or on the treadmill too.

	How to: Avoid Being Awkward By Brienne Schaefer May 10, 2013 - 1:18am We’re all aware of the phrase, “that’s awkward”. I tend to use it one too many times, but I can’t help it; it’s a phrase that sticks. The other day one of my roommates pulled out moldy sour cream from our refrigerator, and without any thought, I immediately blurted out, “well that’s awkward”. But come to think about it, pulling out an old container of sour cream really isn’t that awkward. So, right there and then is where my roommate got on the topic of discussing moments that actually are awkward. READ MORE
	How To: Attend Mifflin By Brienne Schaefer May 4, 2013 - 4:41pm I’m sure you are all aware of the recent decision to “cancel” Mifflin from the Madison Police Department. As unfair and disheartening this news has made us feel, let’s be real…Mifflin is still going to happen. Maybe it won’t be as crazy as it has been in years past, but I am certain people will still hold house parties this coming Saturday. With the increase of police force that will be present on Saturday, I have come up with several tips on how to stay out of trouble, yet have a fun day by attending Mifflin. READ MORE

	Foreign in Florence: Springfest! By Ilana Fromm May 3, 2013 - 9:56am This weekend marked our last international trip of the semester, and we definitely ended on a high note. Our weekend in Munich was the perfect mix of site seeing and partying, since much of the German culture revolves around beer. Although Julia, Brittany and I were hesitant at first about spending four nights in Munich, we couldn't have picked a better city to end our semester of traveling. READ MORE
	Weekly Workout: Barbell Complex By Katie McDonough April 29, 2013 - 10:50am This workout is inspired by a recent barbell complex I did. Barbell complexes can be more complex, so start with dumbbells or a lighter barbell until you get form down and build more strength. This workout provides not only strength training, but cardio as well. You can either use it as your only workout, or use it as a finisher to the rest of your workout. Make sure to focus on form first! Try to keep this in one smooth continuous motion, without putting the weights down. Do each one 5x then rest between sets. Front Squat (hold dumbbells at shoulder level, you’re doing it right if your abs burn!) Front Lunges (5 each leg) Bent Over Row (keep elbows tucked by sides!) Bicep Curl to Shoulder Press (5 each arm)...
