Doing Something Fun

What good is fitness - especially when accurately defined - if it doesn't help you enjoy life more. Please use the fitness you've worked so hard for this summer on something fun. Hiking, biking, swimming, climbing, or anything physical that intrigues you. And try something this summer that you've never done before.

Remember too that one of the rewards for measuring your work in the gym is the added confidence that you gain in your own abilities, and how that translates into your desire to engage in new challenges.

I love hearing people tell me how much more enjoyable their summer activities (or winter, for that matter) are now that they've developed new levels of authentic fitness. And, I love getting your pictures of the places you went and the things you did. Many of them end up right here on the GJ web site. Looking forward to more of that this year.
