There’s some major housekeeping that needs to be done, and that my friends, is registration. Whether registering for summer or fall courses, ISIS has been bombarded with many trying to sort out their lives—at least for a semester. Although tailoring your schedule to what you may think is an acceptable time to get out of bed, other factors obviously have to be taken into account—like the professor.

Standing on a squishy purple bubble about 3 feet around, you raise one foot in the air and twist your torso while keeping your balance. By the instructor’s command, you flip over the half-shaped ball and start doing push-ups with the bubble side on the floor and the hard plastic side facing up.
