There's no time like the present to focus on fitness. Here in the Northern Hemisphere spring has arrived (some days) and outdoor play season has started so grab your sneakers and enjoy the sunshine.

What's your goal this month? Whether you are a new exerciser, planning to increase your activity, or looking for a place to be accountable this is the thread for you. So come on in and join us for the April Exercise Challenge.
