Fitness Center - Mayo Clinic
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fitness/SM99999

Today's site, from that trusted medical source, the Mayo Clinic, provides
sound facts about why and how to keep fit. Gentle Subscribers ready to
shake off their winter inertia, will find both inspiration and information
at the site.

"Find fitness information and expert exercise advice on starting an
exercise program, staying motivated, preventing injury and more." - from
the website

The site gives the nod to physical fitness by running down the health
benefits of exercise, with a motivational article on how just 30 minutes a
day of aerobic exercise can reduce health risks, help manage chronic
conditions, stave off extra pounds, strengthen the heart and act as a mood
booster, among other advantageous outcomes. A number of articles focus on
specific conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis
and how regular exercise can help. Additional sections highlight how-to's
on walking, stretching and strength training, with illustrative slide shows
while others feature information on seasonal sports, with a look at
sports-related nutrition and injuries.
