7 Exercises You Can Do Anywhere
Urban Runners

The first day of summer has already passed, but who cares. It is not too late to get that summer body. However, even if you are comfortable in your body, you should still do these exercises anyway. They are meant to strengthen as well as tone your muscles, increase your heart rate and minimize the chances of developing cardiovascular disease.

Here is a list of simple movements you can do to burn some calories throughout the day.


1. Triceps dips.

You can do these anywhere. If you are at home and you've been sitting for an hour, get up and assume the position.

2. Push-ups.

There are no excuses for this one. You can even start with the modified version. Instead of being on your toes, drop the weight down to your knees.

3. Squats.

This movement works out some of the largest group of muscles in the human body. This means more calories burned.

4. Jumping jacks.

Throw some cardio in there to warm up your entire body.

5. Hugs.

With the right person, this one is really comforting to do.

6. Applause.

This movement is also referred to as clapping. It can sometimes be loud and aggressive, while other times it is soft and quiet. It is pretty effective when it comes to warming up your palms, but it also shows your support.

7. Smiling.

This one is definitely the simplest and easiest form of exercise out of this list. Give it a try at your own risk.


For an effective workout you are going to need at least one buddy. Approach your buddy using step seven, greet them with step five, then do steps four, three, one and two together in that order. Complete the workout with step six, and if you guys are really close you guys can do step five again. This is just one variation. Approach this however you wish.

Get on it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
