Your advice: The key to staying in shape


Last week, I asked you how you find the time to stay fit. Many of you responded by saying that you just have to do it -- make fitness a daily habit. So, you're making the time for exercise, which is awesome. Now I want to know what, exactly, you do?
The people in the video above are practicing "green" fitness. They do things like exercise circuits at local parks. Getting outside is great (in good weather) but what do you do every day?
Do you hit the pavement for a daily run? Are you a die-hard gym-goer? Tell us your secrets for staying in shape. Don't forget, you can always send us photos of your success, too!
