Summer is the perfect time to take your exercise routine outdoors. Biking, jogging and walking our local roads are all great ways to stay healthy, just as long as it is done safely. I’ve been trying to walk and bike at different times of the day and, so far, I find that early in the morning is my favorite. I’ve seen others along the route who seem to agree!

My daughter Nicole Sinning did an internship this past spring with Good Housekeeping magazine during her last semester at Hofstra University. She worked in Manhattan at the magazine’s Research Institute, testing products to be considered for the Good Housekeeping Seal and is pictured testing a laptop on page 115 in the August issue of GH.
