How do we develop sustainable fitness? Last week I wrote about what sustainable fitness is. Basically, it’s doing things that you can continue to do long term.

Well, yes, we should. However, I don't think it hurts to actually stop and think about it. As we head into the end of the year and facing the beginning of a new year, it doesn't hurt to contemplate what we can be thankful for.
