TRAINER S NAME: Dena Marks Sokolow Technology is a double-edged sword. It makes our lives easier in so many ways, but it makes staying fit harder! Most of us drive instead of walk. We watch television at night or sit in front of a computer instead of strolling around the neighborhood or participating in group sports.
