It’s spring and if you haven’t noticed in the magazines, swimwear, shorts, and casual dresses are showing up. Vacations on are the horizon– or at least are being talked about. But you can’t get “there” into that swimsuit that you have your eye on if you aren’t getting some exercise and eating healthy. So look for lots more posts about fitness, workouts, ways to fit exercise into your day without killing yourself and how to eat better.

“The guidelines speak to the fact that the majority of adults and one of three children are overweight or obese,” notes Michael Feigin. “The good news is that every day there are new products brought to market that can help us meet the guidelines and lead healthier lives.”
