Since exercise is something we’ll have to do regularly to be in great shape and lengthen our lives, it would be a good idea to make it at least somewhat enjoyable. How do you make working out fun?

After hibernating for three months, most of us are ready to enjoy mild and pleasant weather. It’s a good thing the outdoors provides a great exercise environment while relieving the symptoms of cabin and cubicle fevers.
