Atlanta Fitness, Workout News
Weight loss information to keep Atlanta motivated
Working out can be hard work. But that doesn't mean you have to dread it. Try something that you like, Atlanta! If the treadmill bores you, don't strap on those sneakers. If the thought of swimming terrifies you, stay away from the water. And if yoga makes you yawn, forget trying the downward dog pose.
Need some ideas? From fencing to Zumba dance classes, Atlantans offer fitness ideas to help you get started. Enjoy "My Favorite Workout," and then share what works for you. E-mail us at betterhealth@ajc.com.
