Another week has come and gone, but there were moments during Monday through Thursday that made us doubt we'd ever make it to Friday. Congratulations friends, we finally made it to the weekend and we're free to do whatever the fuck we want! For two whole days... sorry to be depressing.
If you are one of our regular readers, you may have noticed that Fridays are reserved for talking about our fitness adventures and taking care of yourself in general. You might be thinking- Fridays are for fun, not worrying about working out. We feel ya, but we also know the pools will be open before we know it and we don't want to scare people. So because we tend to have an unhealthy relationship food, we have to do something now and then to keep our bodies in check.

Exhibit A- Jacs breakfast.

But working out doesn't mean you have to go lift weights or run a marathon- which is good because our limit is running 6 miles. You can do little fun things everyday to get your steps in. Sometimes we don't want to work out which means we trick ourselves into it. And because we love you because we like you (we don't know you that well), we will share some of the fun things we do that still gets that heart pumping!
Go to the park. We are aware we are in our mid 20's and you think we'd look like fools playing on a playground, but can you honestly tell us you don't get jealous seeing kids on the swings? Not that we are watching kids on swings... You can get a pretty solid work out in just playing around at the park! Take the monkey bars for example- those arms will be toned before you know it.

Hike or explore your neighborhood. It can still be chilly enough in the evenings to create a bonfire so why not go on a hike to pick up some sticks for it instead of spending cash money on pre-cut logs! Bonus: Have a pup friend to do it for you.

| Good work, Ted. Way to be thrifty. |
Walk it out. Not in the mood to lurk around the park? Why not take your dog or cat (yep, cat) for a walk. On average you can burn 415 calories* in a one hour walk! So you are getting exercise and being a good pet parent!

*Don't Google for accuracy. Trust us, walking is a good workout. Speed walking is even an Olympic event.
And apparently it's difficult...
