By Penelope Folsom
Heard enough about all the wonderful benefits of exercise? Ready to get out there and be a part of this expanding group of hard bodies with firm muscles and great pecs? Well, something like that. There are many organized groups in the area that could turn your exercise routine into more fun than you could have imagined.
Take a look at this partial list of organizations in the area that would love to have you join them to sweat copious amounts of fluid, while telling others how much fun you’re having.
