Here at That's Fit, we're constantly telling you what we think about things, but sometimes it's nice to know what you think. So from time to time, we'll ask you a question. Don't be afraid to speak up -- we love feedback.


It's Veterans Day in the US, Remebrance Day in Canada and a day synonomous with peace the world over. Having been raised in a military family, this day is one of the most important to me. It's a day when I reflect on the cost of freedom and how fortunate I am. It's also a day that reminds me that I can't take anything for granted.

And I don't know about you, but when I'm reminded of how lucky I am, it motivates me to exercise. When I'm running, I feel alive, powerful and free. So after observing a moment of silence at 11 AM, you know where you'll find me: On the treadmill.
