The other side of this is group workouts. This has been a major cheat code for me the past 2 summers. Yoga, run clubs or HITT workouts if your in a major cityGood thing is to be in proximity to where chicks run errands. Amazon prime has made it difficult and turned some chicks into hermits but a Saturday or sunday morning at target, whole foods, bed bath and beyond, Sephora, etc will put you in proximity. If you are in shape do it before or after the gym so chicks can undress you with their eyes in your workout gear which is a choosing signal.
