Why a walking date is the new terrace

I am in a walking club. Really. And no, the average age of that club is not 60+. In fact, the average age is 27 and super cute. Not a single wrinkle in sight… Yes, girlfriends, recently I no longer plop down with my friends on a sunny terrace after six, but we dive into Vondelpark. Sounds super grandma, I know, but we really don’t care much about that. In fact, we just make ourselves look ridiculous in a walking outfit including leggings, a big shirt, and white sneakers. Planning a terrace tonight? Just send your friend a message, because it’s going to be a walking date. And here’s why:

1. You burn a whole lot of calories while chatting with your friend.
2. Walking after dinner means no chips on the couch.
3. You don’t have to worry about a cute outfit. I say: leggings and your sneakers.
4. The chance of encountering cute sweaty runners around you is very high.
5. Picking up an ice cream or iced coffee along the way is fine, you’ll burn it off anyway.
6. Walking in the fresh air means oxygen for your brain.
7. Walking gives you nice buttocks, sitting on terraces does not.
8. If you walk in the evening, you’ll notice that you fall asleep like a log afterwards.
9. It simply counts as a workout.
10. And it doesn’t cost anything at all.
11. There’s no temptation to order a bottle of wine. Ideal for a weekday date.
12. Your friend can’t make it, but you just got a new match? Just go for a walk, awkward silences aren’t so bad when you’re moving; there’s plenty to see.
13. Is it a letdown? Sprint away and block that person quickly. It’s that simple.
14. You finally hit your weekly goals on your Fitbit. And what your Fitbit says, that counts..
