Wow. I just took a 30 min walk/stroll with the pups and worked up a nice little sweat! Then later today from 3:30 to 4:30 I will be in a stretching class.

Not quite up to Mike's routine but sadly it is probably a lot more than most other Americans will do in a week.

Keep up the great work here and you will get more of us working out and feeling FINE!
