DiscussFitness.com Quarterly Newsletter

Welcome fellow members, to the inaugural issue of the Discuss Fitness Newsletter. I am in complete awe of the energy extended by the members, moderators, and administrators of DF to bring this newsletter to publication. Through this effort our members have another vehicle to take center stage in order to share their knowledge, skills, and hard work with others. We will be publishing this newsletter quarterly, and if the response from the membership is on the positive side we would like to increase the number of issues published each year.
