biking

By The FIRM Master Instructor Kelly Branning

When I lived in Alaska, I went from my heated house to my heated car to my heated exercise room. Now, in South Carolina, there are days that I go from my air-conditioned house to my air-conditioned car to my air-conditioned exercise room. If you find yourself gazing out the window mid-workout, lingering just a little longer when you retrieve your morning paper or volunteering to walk the dog … don’t fight it! It’s time to get outside.

Miley Cyrus says she prefers two wheels to four.

When I got my driver’s license, you couldn’t keep me off the road. The main activity for me and my friends was to “drive around,” which basically consisted of driving up and down Main Street in my itsy bitsy village for three hours each day. I was barely five feet tall and drove my dad’s honking big Lincoln Town Car that was so massive, about six of my girlfriends could pile in. Talk about an environmental disaster!
