YorkRegion Article: Why not step up your fitness routine?: "We all know that keeping fit and healthy is an ongoing, every day and every week pursuit.
Regular readers will recall I’ve tried short-term boot camp fitness programs, long-term recreational running three seasons of the year and enjoy one-time events such as Fit for Heart.
