�painting and other chores. If you go to work every day, try walking or riding a bike, which seems to be a trend for people who work rather close to home. For students who want to get into shape for fall sports, now is the time. Commit to yourself to workout a little more each week. Begin with a short time of your planned activities, and build on the time you spend each week. Do not try to build up your time exercising each day unless you have been doing some working out on a daily basis. If you need to lose some weight, plan to accomplish where you want to be by a specific time (possibly when school begins). Being too far overweight can make it more difficult to get involved in some sports. You should check with your doctor before deciding about exercise and diet. In my small town, we have a 'Wellness Center,' where one can exercise using a variety of equipment. Also, there is a heated pool, where you can swim and exercise with a licensed instructor. They also have a dietitian to help you lose or gain weight. I know that some individuals inflicted with arthritis should not be in cold water. A rheumatologist filled me in on that when I was exercising in a cold-water pool at one of our schools. Another option for outdoor exercise in the summer is to participate in some sports that you enjoy just for fun. Find a partner and play an occasional game of tennis, or possibly set up a schedule to play once or twice a week. We have a tennis court in our largest 'City Park.' You can also play some kid-games with your younger children. Different games of tag are always fun and will keep you on your toes and moving. They are good for the children also. Jumping rope is another good exercise, and you can do it alone. If you have two other children or adults, two can turn the rope and take turns jumping.Take Time This Summer for You
