It's To Us! -------------------------------------- Public Opinion STOP ILLEGAL ATV USE!! -------------------------------------------- Get Fit without Joining a Gym It's my opinion and in my experience, if you are seeking to improve your fitness level or lose weight, so much of that can be done with a much smaller investment in just a few items to create your own home gym that suits your specific physical needs. Also consider daily walking of ten minutes or more, practicing yoga and stretching (stretching properly is most important before and after exercising), get a friend or your spouse or kid involved to have a nearby work-out buddy, drink lots of your own good Floyd County water and stop stuffing your face with junk foods and just plain get off your butt more often. Use a push mower sometimes instead of that riding mower. Most people do not utilize fitness center memberships beyond a limited degree and end up wasting their money. Do it at home! Above all and first of all, make certain you are healthy enough to undertake any new fitness related activity. Check with your doctor first!! - Michelle Hussong We don't have any connection to or with the following, these links are offered as examples of what you can find to help yourself on the web; Here are a few links to help you Do It At Home!: Home Fitness Fitness Home-Workout **********************
