Get Going, Go-Getters!
by Heidi Ketler
It would be so nice if exercise came as naturally as breathing. Imagine if it was as enjoyable as, say, eating ice cream. (Yum! Would it, then, be bad for us?)

In reality, we all know, exercise should be as elemental to our lives as nutrition, and it should be incorporated into our weekly, if not daily, schedules.
