I confess. I didn't go to the gym today.

Ok! Ok! I confess. I didn’t go to the gym today. But before you start to judge me, hear me out. Sometimes it’s difficult to get motivated to go to the gym when the weather is so nice. And if you’re familiar with Calgary’s weather, you know you have to enjoy it while it lasts. So I decided to take my workout outside! I went for a brisk walk with a very good friend of mine. And it was more than just a walk in the park. We worked body parts from head to toe without even realizing it. Here was our workout for the day. We jumped as we came across the huge crickets on the pathway (plyometrics!). We didn’t stop talking the entire time (working our jaw muscles!). The mosquitoes were firece, so that kept our arms swinging as we swatted the blood suckers off of every body part (toned arms!). And when you workout with a good friend ... there’s always some really good belly laughs (tight abs!). We had so much fun we hardly noticed that two hours went by. So next time you just don’t want to be cooped up in a sweaty gym ... take it outside!
