Working out doesn't have to suck.

7 Fun Ways to Workout

Working out doesn’t have to be miserable. The typical workouts include running outside, lifting weights or using the treadmill or elliptical in the gym, but those aren’t your only options. Make getting fit fun so that you’ll actually stick to it. 

Rollerblading. 

Sure, you probably haven’t rollerbladed in years, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still just as fun! Find that old pair of rollerblades that you haven’t worn since 6th grade, get a group of friends together, and have the time of your life. (What a fun way to burn about 800 calories per hour)

Sky Zone. Sky High. Or Jumping on Any Trampoline.


Jumping is one of the best workouts. Just be careful if you go to a place like Sky Zone…especially if you’re injury prone, as am I.     

Hiking. 


You feel so determined to make it all the way while hiking that you’re bound to get in an amazing workout. The way up can sometimes be a struggle, but making it to the top is such an invigorating feeling.     

Sports.

Get a group together to play soccer on your local school’s field or ultimate Frisbee in the park. No matter what sport you choose, you can have fun with friends and get in a workout without even noticing. Try joining an intramural team.


Geocaching

Pretty much a treasure hunt. Use a GPS or an app on your phone to find a "hidden treasure". It may sound nerdy and not very fun, but it's a great time if you do it with the right people.


Kick the Can. (Or other childhood games)

Childhood games outside are the best. Try hide and seek, tag, capture the flag, or any other fun game. If you don’t know what the game kick the can is, I highly suggest looking it up here (http://www.wikihow.com/Play-Kick-the-Can) and playing. It was my favorite game to play with my neighborhood friends when I was little. 

And of course, Go Out For a Night of Dancing. 

The most fun way to workout. Get a group of girls together, go to a club, frat party or just in your room at home and dance the night away. You won’t even notice that you’re working out, but I promise you, your legs will thank you in the morning.

There are so many fun ways to workout that aren't as monotonous as running or using the elliptical. Try one of these or come up with some of your own. You'll thank yourself.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
