ext to the common cold, lower

back pain is the most recur-

ring ailment that causes people

to miss work, mainly because of the

inflammation of muscle tissue. While

many suffering from back pain rightly

seek the advice of a trained medical doc-

tor, other treatments such as yoga and

Rolfing are also viable sources of relief.

Certainly, a physician should be consult-

ed immediately for conditions related to

injury, numbness or leg weakness.

yoga“IthoughtthatIwasalways

local fitness gyms offer plenty to make you sweat

t’s hard to find time to exercise and easy to come up with ex-

cuses not to. Temperatures are soaring, or the afternoon thun-

derclouds have arrived. It’s true, the Lowcountry’s elements do

sometimes get in the way of a brisk walk or jog along the fitness

trail. But there is a simple answer: the gym – air-conditioned,

weather-proof and fun.

Yes, fun. Today’s gyms go out of their way to make clients

happy. Not only do they provide the weights, fitness classes, yoga

mats and stationary bicycles, but they also furnish the child care

(should you need it), entertainment (via TVs and sometimes movie

screens) and camaraderie (boot camp, anyone?). And after you’ve

burned your allotted calories and sweated away all those pesky

toxins, a cold bottle of Vitamin Water and a masseuse may very

well be waiting in the wings.

Sound good to you? Individual memberships range in price from

less than $20 a month to more than $50, depending on the facil-

ity and the amenities you want to use. Family memberships and

kid-only memberships also are available. Shop around, tour the

facilities and get quotes. The following is a sample of gyms that help

Lowcountry residents get into the best shape of their lives.

child’s play

it’s no secret that childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes has become a

concern for U.S. families, and that a lack of physical activity have contrib-uted to a lot of out-of-shape kids. The days of joining the neighborhood gang for a game of “kick the can” are a thing of the past. One rising trend may help, however: gyms that cater to the physi-cal activity needs of children.

“Our goal at Fun Fit! is to inspire children to develop healthy habits that will carry on into adulthood,” says Mandy Harrison of East Shore Athletic Club.

While today’s parent takes a spin-ning class (or buys groceries), his child may take a spinning class of her own. Here’s where kids can go.
