Exercise with friends.

We all know it’s hard to juggle all of our responsibilities these days. It isn’t easy to know where to fit in things like health and wellness and time to be social, even though we know these should also be a priority with marriage, family, and work. 

I genuinely believe that you can have it all if you are intentional about your scheduling. My favorite tip for killing two birds with one stone is to schedule a time to work out and catch up socially at the same time. Invite your best friend for a weekly walk or hike. Or join a relaxed group yoga class that meets at the park. The ability to mix and match friend groups with exercise options is truly endless, which means that socializing while getting stronger can never get too dull. If it feels stagnant, just hit the remix button.

Another benefit is that since both exercise and companionship are pivotal to a healthy and fulfilling life, you won’t want to skip it if you’re getting a double dose of your needs being met.
