The summer is just around the corner. Hot days that make you want to sleep and stay inside on the computer.
Here's a good way to keep active during the summer: Volunteer!
I worked with Key Club for a short amount of time. It's an organization for high school students that gets us in contact with the community. I once spent an entire day on my feet and being active at an event.
Usually you're behind the scenes helping everybody else out, which requires a lot of work and physical effort. This summer I'm volunteering at a hospital in my town.
The position I applied for will require me to get items from one floor to the next and help keep terminal patients company. While it's not the most active, running up those stairs instead of taking the elevator will certainly keep me on my toes.
Not only that, but I get to know other people!
So, anybody else here have a place they volunteer? Has it helped you lose any weight?

Well, I am going on marathon walks. I used to volunteer 200+ hours a year but since college I do not have much time to give to such things. So I go online and look for charity walks and events I can walk in. That way I am out walking and getting money for much needed charities. So far I'm scheduled for the Gay Pride Walk (not gay, btw. But I do love yaoi!), and in September for the Memory Walk for Alzheimers. I'm also getting my sister motivated too so she's coming with me.
