HEALTH TIP

Fitness takes more than huffing and puffing

When it comes to fitness, huffing and puffing your way through aerobic exercises such as running, biking or swimming isn't the only thing that matters. A good, balanced exercise program includes five key components: aerobic fitness, strength training, core exercises, balance training, and flexibility and stretching. If you're not getting all five, it's time to mix up your routine.
