Staying Fit Doesn't Have to Feel Like Work!
They say that exercise is the Fountain of Youth, but until recently, they've been talking about the kinds of exercise that most people view as hard work.
Well guess what -- the fountain runneth over! Fitness facilities nationwide are moving toward a new, more playful approach to fitness that not only helps you keep a youthful aura about you, but it downright promotes that Ponce de Leon-type feeling that all of us seek.
Such activities offer the same cardiovasular and muscle-toning benefits as the more conventional approaches, but studies consistently show that people who enjoy their workouts exercise more often at longer intervals and therefore get better results than those who drudge away.
So we say, "Regress!" As the weather cools down and gyms begin to fill up, what better way to kick up your home workout than with equipment that lets you act like a kid again? These items also make wonderful gifts for the fun-loving gym rats in your life.
Here are our top five picks, but you'll find many more ideas browsing the site if you're feeling impish enough!
