I\u2019ll wake up one morning and tell myself I\u2019m going to start going to the gym every day. I\u2019ll be so diligent for about a week and then just get bored. It\u2019s always been a challenge for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then I moved to Chicago. And what happens when you put someone who loves to eat in a city like that? I think we all know the answer. Chicago is full of delicious food that I just can\u2019t resist. So once I moved here I was faced with a serious dilemma. How could I continue to try every type of cuisine Chicago has to offer, but still stay in shape? Add in a sedentary work day, not being able to afford a gym membership and being away from my family and\u00a0things get a bit tricker.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luckily, the solution came fairly naturally. I left my car at home and I bought a bike. I LOVE riding my bike! I never thought I would have the courage to ride a bike in the street next to cars, but I did it and it felt great. Plus, my roommates love biking, too, and as long as I am away from home, they\u2019re my new family.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking of my roommates, they\u2019ve really made moving to Chicago a positive experience. We get along wonderfully, and it\u2019s great to live with people who want to share groceries and cook meals together.\u00a0They also work full time jobs and understand how difficult it is to find a balance when you\u2019re on your own for the first time, getting used to the 9-5 routine and trying to stay healthy at the same time. We always find reasons to ride our bikes together, and by cultivating a level of camaraderie in our house, we\u2019ve managed to save time and money\u2014 AND stay in shape!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I am sure a lot of people can relate to my circumstances. It\u2019s not easy to move away from your family to a new city for your first job and still stay in shape, especially when you\u2019re under stress or if you don\u2019t enjoy exercising. Just remember that you\u2019re not alone. Creating a family amongst your friends and finding a physical activity that you enjoy doing as a group will keep you happier and healthier!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What\u2019s your fun group activity you enjoy doing with your friends?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Natalie Unger wrote this post for Together Counts on behalf of Edelman Digital.<\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve never been a fan of exercise.
