Does the word “exercise” cause negative feelings or drudgery?  Try this instead….think about dancing in the kitchen while you make dinner, walking your dog, taking a bike ride with your children, gardening, a set of tennis or a round of golf.  Sound like fun?  You’re ready to get an enthusiastic start for your fun program of fitness.
