We wanted to focus on more than simply the advantages of exercise this month as we examine the concept of feel good fitness, while there are many. We all know that being healthy makes us happy, but happiness is also a determinant of fitness.

I believe that moving in a way that feels good to your body is the ideal exercise for you since you'll crave it and want to do it again and again. Rather than forcing a habit to form, the habit will emerge on its own.



With that in mind, this month we look at the benefits of non-gym activities including dance, hiking, and tai chi, as well as physical therapist Marcy Crouch's passion for horseback riding.
