the happy body checklist: tip #2

Greetings! This week we’re sharing the second tip on our Happy Body Checklist. (Once a week we’re posting one of our favorite tips to stay motivated and meet our fitness goals. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any tips!)

Tip #2: Make it social!

We both work 40+ hours a week, and don’t always have time to socialize and work out, so we decided to combine it. (Who doesn't love to kill two birds with one stone?)

In addition to partnering up for workouts, we like to make the routine as chat-friendly as possible. One of our favorite tricks is to set up an interval timer on our phone so we can catch up on each other’s lives instead of wasting breath on counting reps!

There’s an app for that! We love the “Seconds” app, a programmable timer for our favorite interval and tabata workouts.

Also, as we mentioned in our first tip, we love to workout with our friends via FaceTime! 

Here we are mid-squat with our fellow happy lady, Lindsey! (Lindsey is an original member of our neighborhood workout group and one of our best friends. She broke our hearts when she moved to the East Coast... but no distance can stop us from our social workouts! Love you, lady! Xo)

  
By making it social and enjoyable, we actually look forward to getting in a workout at the end of a busy day!

Do you incorporate exercise in your social life? Let us know in the comments below! We would love to discover new social workout ideas!
