Take It Outside!

~Wanna fight off waste and weight gain at the same time?

The Bite
There's a better solution than kicking the treadmill every day. Hang up your gym membership and try getting your exercise outside to give energy and cash waste a what-for, and tackle calories at the same time.

The Benefits

*Beating power waste into submission. Gyms across the country overload on A/C, and - newsflash - most training machines use electricity too.
*Less of a thrashing for your wallet. The average gym membership costs $35 per month, while some people even manage to get paid for walking the streets. Ahem.
*Scoping your territory. Parks and trails offer better scenery than the weight room. There's a reason why nobody ever talks about the Great Indoors.

Personally Speaking
Toshio joined his roommate for a park-based boot camp on "legs" day - and for the next week walked around like the oldest man alive.
