Are you tired of winter yet? And anxious to get outside or just get on your feet and move! If you live down near the beaches the good news is there are lots of ways to get fit and have fun. I’m going to do a post about local cycling and walking trails, biking and walking clubs and other ways to exercise outside on your own or with friends as soon as the weather warms. In the meantime, I’m spotlighting several gyms offering a variety of experiences – and the upcoming Health and Fitness Expo set for Saturday, March 7th at Cape Henlopen High School.
Here are some wonderful places to get in shape, based on the type of exercise you like.
