Craving some exercise to work out your body avoid studying as much as possible? Get both done at once with these Core Curriculum-inspired workouts, brought to you by the Bwog Staff. 

If you want to look as chiseled as the Renaissance statues in ArtHum without sacrificing your busy study schedule, get the hell Inferno out of Butler and try these workouts inspired by the masterpieces you were supposed to read in class.

  • To The Lighthouse
    • Take a jog or ride a bike up through Riverside Park to the Little Red Lighthouse! Total distance ~3.5 miles
  • Inferno
    • Walk up the stairs to your dorm instead of taking the elevator once a day; it’s easier than climbing out of hell!
  • Pride and Prejudice
    • Take after Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy and enjoy an hour or two of especially vibrant walking with a friend or ~significant other~ through Riverside, Morningside, Central Park, or the Highline.
  • Madame Bovary
    • Spend the entire day walking and shopping around SoHo. What?! It counts!
  • Dracula
  • The Odyssey
    • Run down to the Staten Island Ferry, take it across, and then swim back. Disclaimer: it might take you 20 years.
  • The Iliad
    • Run three times around the walls of Troy, or rather around Columbia’s campus, dragging the body of your enemy, or rather a backpack full of weights
  • Macbeth
    • Join the fencing team for some sword-fighting action.
  • Darwin
    • Break into the Central Park Zoo and fight a gorilla to prove you’re evolutionarily superior.
