That's Fit

Tired of waiting for equipment, paying membership fees that mysteriously seem to rise every two months, and dealing with people who leave their sweat stains everywhere? Are all these hassles actually making you absolutely abhor -- and, in many cases, even skip -- your workout? If so, it may be time to consider bidding farewell to your gym.

Needless to say, this does not mean the end of your days spent working out. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, all that's required is 30 minutes of activity per day -- whether it be jogging, walking, shooting hoops, gardening, dancing, etc. And, to keep muscles and bones strong, doctors suggest also incorporating 20 minutes of resistance training exercise two or three times a week.

With spring here, there's no better time to break free of the confines of your gym walls and take your workout to the limitless expanse of the great outdoors.
