1 . Best Online Exercise Classes
Online exercise classes are changing the way we think about fitness, and here are some of the best apps for online exercise classes for you to select.
Daily Burn
Daily Burn offers a 30-day free trial, so you can get a feel for the classes and instructors before you make the decision. It provides over 1,000 classes ranging from choices for beginners to advanced athletes, all taught by expert trainers. There are classes that are 10 minutes and ones that are an hour, so you can do a workout that’s perfect for your schedule.
Alo Moves
Through this app, you’re given the chance to connect with encouraging coaches and other hard-working members, and take more than 2,500 different yoga classes of all styles and all difficulties. You can even take classes or practice yoga with any of your friends online. At a price point of $20 per month, it’s surely one of the reasonable at-home choices.
Booya Fitness
Classes offered include cardio (有氧运动) kickboxing, sports conditioning, dancing, and even more. Even if that sounds like you’ll need much expensive equipment, Booya Fitness promises that 75% of their workouts can be completed with just an exercise mat (垫子). Booya Fitness is also very selective (严格挑选的) in the music they play because they know a good song can make your cardio workout motivating. It’s a best choice for the middle and upper class.
Peloton
Peloton’s service is based on live classes intended for anyone who has a bike, and they require the Peloton branded equipment to join in. There are new classes every day, and thousands of classes to choose from. What’s more, there is also a treadmill users can purchase for running- and walking-based classes, and a TV app for strength classes. However, it will charge you more for the convenient service.

8 . Exploration of Modern Literature
| Modality | On-campus |
| Session | July 19—August 5 |
| Date & Time | Monday—Friday, 9:00 a.m.—11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.—5:00 p.m. |
| Instructor | Mark Blacher |
Course description
In this course we explore modern literature from early pioneers such as Dostoyevsky and Rimbaud through to modernism of Virginia Woolf and Hemingway, and beyond to writers including Ralph Ellison and Toni Morrison and movements such as magical realism. We focus mainly on shorter novels and poetry, but may also look at longer works such as Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse.
We consider not only the meanings of the works but also how they are written to give them their power. Additionally, we pay attention to how literature sounds and how it makes us feel.
Students are expected to write a number of informal reaction pieces, contribute actively to class discussion, take part in a few short creative projects, and prepare short papers and oral presentations on works of their own choice.
Students learn how to read actively, think analytically, present their ideas clearly, and work with others — all skills that will be invaluable to them in college and in their professional and personal lives. No previous knowledge or course work is required.
Instructor: Mark Blacher
Mark Blacher holds a master’s degree in comparative literature from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). While at UCLA he taught classics of world literature, and taught students close reading and expository writing (说明文). Mark’s undergraduate degree is from Columbia University. He has worked with Columbia’s Pre-College Programs for over thirty years.
