From going grocery shopping, to drinking coffee to even being hungover, these ladies show the multiple ways that you can don activewear without actually exercising. This particular send-up was uploaded on Tuesday by the [Van Vuuren Bros](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXwQTAwojxNAqaIUnm%5FsDdA "undefined"), an Australian comedy duo who have gained notoriety and fame in their homeland with their [depictions](https://www.youtube.com/show/bondihipsters "undefined") of hipster life on Bondi beach.
