Begin a fitness program using library resources: Number 44 in a series of uses for your library card.

If you are ready to begin a fitness program, the use of library resources as well as consulting with your family physician should be a primary step.

Most people want a program that improves muscle tone and includes weight (fat) loss benefits. For some folks, it begins with regular walking and taking the stairs instead of the elevator.Others want to ramp it up with weight training, running, racket sports and high intensity training. Wherever you belong on the scale, you can probably benefit by taking home books, magazines and videos from the library. Add to your knowledge base while you build your endurance!
