| Unit 4 (part 2) page 2 talks about how to stay active with friends and here are all of their ideas. "There are many ways to be active, such as biking with friends, walking or running with the family dog, taking a recreational sports or fitness class or even playing an active video game." |

| A way that I have been able to influence my friends in staying active is by challenging them to a 30 day ab challenge where every day we had to do ab workouts. This challenge of doing workouts everyday made both of us feel better about ourseves and got us ready for summer. | |
