This week is all about getting outside on a budget. Just because your summer funds may be running low doesn’t mean that your summer fun has to suffer. Every event this week is free, meaning you just have to pay for transportation (if applicable). So get on out there and enjoy nature the way nature intended- free!

CardioHIT by No Excuse Workout @ National Harbor
If you’re looking to get your butt kicked by a workout, this one is for you. The hour-long cardio class will feature you, sweating a lot, as your skin glistens beautifully under the setting sun. Plus, the Capital Wheel provides a way better view than those overpriced classes in the basement of your gym!
Forget the Metro or bus today and grab your bike. Meet up with The Bike Rack (partnered with Peregrine Espresso) between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. at the corner of 14 and Q Street for free iced or hot coffee. Rest for a few minutes, caffeinate yourself and chat with employees of The Bike Rack about your commute.
