It also provides suggestions on when to seek medical clearance before beginning an exercise routine.

ā€œSpring is a wonderful time to live, work and play in Maine,ā€ wrote Lamarre and Pierce. ā€œWith the right preparation and guidance, we think you can achieve your fitness goals and head into the summer ready for all that our beautiful area has to offer!ā€
