It's that time of week again – the day when I give you a sneak peek at practical, quick and dirty fitness tips from this week's Get-Fit Guy article.
See, each week, over at the Quick & Dirty Tips Network, I produce a free, easy-to-read article, accompanied by a short 5-10 minute audio version of that article. Everything there is focused on the latest fitness research, exercise news, and quick and highly practical muscle gain, fat loss and physical performance tips. It’s called “The Get-Fit Guy’s Quick & Dirty Tips To Slim Down & Shape Up”.
Here's your sneak peek from this week's article, “3 Healthy Alternatives To Pokemon GO“

Ok. I can understand being a bit annoyed that people are getting in your way on your hiking trail because they’re not looking up from their phones, but please don’t deride Pokemon Go. Do you realize how catching ‘cartoon chatacters’ has shaped a lot of people’s lives, as for many people it was the first game they really ever played? And how right now, a lot of couch potatoes and people with actual mental handicaps are outside and actually being social because of this game? Feel free to not enjoy or partake, but please don’t mock it.
