Why Getting Fit is So Important

Shelton personal fitness trainer and business owner Marc Ouellette knows a lot about exercise and doing what's healthy for you and your body.

He says it's important to cultivate a love of fitness, especially among the younger generation.

"The attitude of neglecting physical fitness of these youths is usually carried by them as they turn into adulthood," he wrote in his blog post titled "Becoming Physically Fit Is Definitely Not a Waste of Time."

Doing physical activities as a family or group of friends can keep you motivated. Ouellette has lots of tips to share with Shelton Patch readers.
