Trail Work Good for You, Too

The Washington Post of 26 June 2007 has an article titled "Sweat Equity Pays Fitness Dividend" by Howard Schneider. It's an article about levels of activity that might lead to better fitness. Schneider lists his calorie expenditures over a couple days ... and then helps out the PATC trail maintainers for a day. His point that a little targeted volunteer work can really boost one's fitness numbers is starkly documented. Well, if that's what it takes.
