Easy, Unique Ways To Work Out This Summer
shemazing

Want to change your summer work out a little? Or looking for a little diversity in your exercise programs? Well here is a simple sure fire work out to blow those summer calories away.

Warm Up/Cool Down Stretches

Reaching for the highest spot in the pantry where the potato chips lay. It stretches your calves, sides, and your arms. Reward yourself with those chips you were aiming for.

Abs

By wrestling your sibling for the T.V. remote.

Reps: Throughout the day/night. (Good luck.)

Laughing with your friends

Reps: Always.

Cardio

Run after the ice cream truck as it drives down the road pointedly ignoring you and mocking you with it's song.

Reps: Once. And after getting them to stop and order your triple chocolate ice cream cone, lie on the cold hard ground and cry.

Play tag with the neighborhood kids. (What? You don't have to be a kid to play and it will make those kids love you and possibly worship you. Then one day you will find you will have the minions you need to help you take over the world.)

Reps: However many times it takes to get the kids to trust you.

Classic, good-ole squirt gun fight.

Reps: Until there is a winner.

Weights (Muscle Endurance)

There are many things you can do for this; carrying logs to help fuel your bass jumping campfire party, lifting your forks and spoons as you eat one of your many meals (on the easier level), helping your friend move their heavy-arse moving boxes, and so many more options.

Reps: Whenever you get the chance and for as long as you want.

Balance

Practice perfectly balancing two ice cream cones in each hand.

Reps: Once. (Side note: do you really need all of those? Not trying to tell you how to live your life or anything...)

Getting up really quick from sitting/laying on the coach. You are almost always off balance after doing this.

Reps: Not too often.

Yoga/Sleep

Finish with this by taking a nap. That's like yoga sleeping's cousin, because honestly you've done enough workout for a day.


I hope these unique workout ideas will help inspire you to get some probably much needed exercise this summer. Or maybe you can look at these workout plans and tell your friends who "always work out every morning" that you too work out.

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.
