There’s nothing worse than going so far astray of your exercise routine that it’s hard to get back on. But that’s exactly what happened to me this spring. A series of circumstances conspired against me — an injured knee, getting the shingles and my gym closing — and put me in a workout tailspin as

Now that I’ve gotten back in the rhythm of going to step classes again at my gym, it makes me wonder why it took me so long to remember how much I love exercising with other people, especially women. I thought of this yesterday when I arrived at the gym a few minutes before 10
