Best sites for shaping up...

So I'm in the Dr's office, reading old magazines & there's  Good Housekeeping, November 2006!  and Lo!,  I discover it is interesting.  Lots of interesting articles, especially a special health guide to the internet.

In trying to get our mini, ad-hoc family to actually do anything I'm on the lookout for "stuff" and here's some from Good Housekeeping:

• Demand Fitness: not free but starts at $0.99 for a day & you could download bunches in a day
• Ace Fitness for strength training.  guide to common errors
• Mayo Clinic for an exercise program in their fitness section.
• President's Challenge to get the whole family off the couch (good luck with that)

And a couple online fitness sites I've found in my internet adventures...

• Spark People has a lot of good FREE online tools and will send you reminders until you scream.
• Fit Day is a FREE online journal and planner.  They would like to sell you their computer program which will not run on a Macintosh.  I actually had this set as a home page for quite some time.
  
• Calorie King is an online journal and planner that costs $7.50 a month.  Very reasonable. Updated.

Of course the problem with all these is you actually have to do something.  That's the truth of life.

I actually liked the Weight Watcher's meetings, but they're expensive for two people.  Thought about TOPS quite a bit but haven't checked the locals yet.

BUT FIRST... just plain exercise is what is needed for Son In Law, Mom and Daughter.
