As summer continues, there are a few things I am certain of: high temperatures, taking trips to the local ice cream shop, roadtrips throughout the country, and relaxing by the pool or, if you’re lucky, at the beach.

That’s how it’s been with me until yesterday, when I actually wrenched my back by side-tossing laundry into a basket. I mean, how much more incentive do I need?
We have all decided at some time or another to make that resolution to get fit. Last year was my year. I knew it was time to "get with the program" and start exercising. I could not afford a gym membership nor did I have the extra hours in the day to drive back and forth to the local gym. What was I to do?
