2 HANG OUT WITH MAN’S BEST FRIEND
Being active has never been this fun. Sign up with a dog-sitting service: earn money strolling furry friends for your neighbors while making some serious strides for your fitness, too. Make it more sociable by getting your friends in on a brisk walk, clocking up miles with multiple dogs in tow.
Exercise doesn’t have to happen in the gym. Get your exercise fix outdoors.
3 CALL FOR BACK UP

4 TRY OUT A BOOTCAMP
Exercise doesn’t have to happen in the gym. Get your exercise fix outdoors. Bootcamps have soared in popularity in recent years and with good reason. It’s a great way to meet other movement enthusiasts and enjoy the benefits of physical activity in good company.
5 DISCOVER SOMEWHERE NEW
Google Maps is good for more than just getting you home. Open it up and randomly zoom in on a nearby location unexplored by you and your friends. Pin it. Share it. Meet there. Who knows what you’ll come across on your travels!
6 SCREEN YOUR USUAL HABITS
Challenge yourself with screen breaks. Block out two hours at of the weekend and fill that time putting your eyes to better use, like heading to a local art gallery. You’ll clock up some serious steps without even realizing it – and scenery is scientifically proven to reset your work-addled brain.
