It goes a little like this EVERY day: Wake up, brush teeth, dress, get kid dressed, get kid to school, hit gym. <br /><br />I love this post! I am a big advocate of fitness for writers.

I especially love the Tabata class I take at the gym every week. That class along with yoga classes and tennis leagues twice a week are part of my fitness plan.

I always take the stairs in the hospitals I visit. My own apartment takes two flight of stairs to reach, so I am obligated to do that much at least!<br /><br />Looking forward to Morgan's post.
