7 Exercises You Can Do Anywhere

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!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
