The buddy system is a great way to keep yourself and friends on track. Why not plan an outing? Here are some ideas:

• Plan a picnic where everyone brings a healthy dish to pass, or meet at a restaurant that offers several healthy options
• Sign up for a charity walk
• Join in a game of softball or a mini tennis tournament
• Set up a scavenger hunt, relay race, or orienteering course — fun events that require a lot of activity
• Bike along a rail trail.

Physical activity can be more fun as a group — plus, you can encourage and inspire each other to reach your goals.
