7. Bond over adrenaline, not cocktails

Going out for tapas and mojitos après group-shopping expedition has gone the way of your unlimited expense account. Thanks, Recession. But you still need face time with your best buds, right? So swap pricey nights out with affordable workouts.

“Staying fit becomes a social experience when you gather a group of friends to work out,” says Sammie Kennedy, a Toronto-based personal trainer and founder of Booty Camp Fitness.
