Is getting in shape on your list of New Year's Resolutions? No? Liar, liar, pants on fire! Don't worry, though, you're not alone. It's on everyone's list. Including mine. Right there next to eating healthier, drinking more water, and getting organized.
Earlier this week, I posted an article about learning to love cooking, which is my #1 resolution. What's #2? You guessed it... getting in shape! Technically, I wrote down "exercise regularly" because I felt that sounded more doable, but they both boil down to the same thing—fitness.
To help you out, we've compiled a list of 8 local fitness centers/classes in Bastrop County where you can workout, get in shape, and exercise regularly.
