Fitness Friday: Fit With Friends

Often times friends bond over food. Your morning coffee wouldn't be complete without a pastry, right? It wouldn't be girls night without Ben & Jerry's. Going to the movies? Don't forget the popcorn. My personal vice: friends & fro yo. But regardless, your busy social calendar could wreak havoc on your diet. Here are some activities you can do with friends that don't involve overindulging:

Take a Hike
If the weather is nice, explore the great outdoors- whether your idea of a hike is taking a lap around your neighborhood or scaling some rocks, get out and move!

Window Shop
Shopping does burn calories. Promise! Park far away from the mall, take the stairs and peek in as many stores as you want. No harm in looking, right?

Take a Spin Class
When the weather is not so nice or you really want to get your cardio on, go to a spin class. I love these! You'll feel amazing afterwards and can bond with your workout buddy over post-spin protein shakes!


Pack a (Healthy) Picnic
Prepare a picnic together featuring fresh, seasonal fruit, veggies and a healthy entree. Bring along your cutest basket and picnic blanket for a picture perfect lunch.


Get a Blowout (or other spa treatment!)
There are other ways to indulge besides an expensive dinner! Forgo dinner at that expensive steakhouse and redirect your funds to a day of primping. Splurge on a mani or blowout with your girls that leaves you looking fabulous!


Closet Clean Out
No one is more honest than your best friend, right? She'll tell you straight up that those sweatpants with holes in them have to go. Ask her for help in organizing your closet. Another day, you can go through hers!


Game Night
Play your favorite board game- loser has to do reps of an exercise (i.e. 50 crunches)!


TV Marathon
There's no shame in binge watching TV if you aren't binge eating! To make your television marathon a little healthier, make a "TV workout" routine like the one above.

Have fun!
xoxo
