Submitted by on 08/08/2012

Have the Olympics got you feeling a little motivated to get active?

If you're anything like me, eating cheeseburgers and french fries as you watch all the Olympic gymnasts and swimmers and other scantily dressed athletes with perfect bodies, you're probably washing down every bite with a tall glass of guilt (or as most of us like to call it, a delicious beer).
