From Paige Waehner, your Guide to Exercise

We often think of the winter holidays as a time of weight gain, but summer has its own pitfalls - Weddings, picnics and barbecues, most of which involve and beer, beer and beer. (*Burp*)

There's no shortage of high-calorie foods to indulge in, but it's often the alcohol that adds the most empty calories (and, "The most fun!" one of my clients noted). It is possible to enjoy your beer without gaining weight, but I'm afraid it involves exercise. Doesn't it always?

Happy 4th of July, everyone!
