Practice Martial Arts

Sick of the gym scene? Trade in your sneakers for a uniform and a big dose of discipline. Martial arts is “intelligent training for the entire body and mind, both working as one unit,” says Sensei Guillermo Gomez, a fourth-degree black belt and star of the “Martial Fusion: Rockin’ Body” DVD.
