I suffer from leg cramps. A friend recommended quinine, but I remember reading somewhere that this was not a good idea. Recently, a doctor recommended it, but I'm afraid to take it. Every personal-fitness plan has to begin somewhere. Let's hope not with an infomercial.
Some people hire a personal trainer as a first step, typically to learn a weight-lifting program.
Others might be inspired by celebrities with near-perfect bodies. Summer's stretched before us right now like a lazy hound dog under a shady magnolia. And we parents have big plans. This will be the summer we'll pump our kids full of freshly squeezed lemonade and homemade ice cream. We will not settle for the powdered drink and Nutty Buddies again.
