In sunny California, it may feel like summer year-round, but this Saturday, June 21st, summer will have officially arrived! Along with it an unprecedented era of recreation; with the kids off from school and the parks open for business it's the season of fun in the sun. It's also the dreaded swimsuit season – and everyone's hitting the gym to get their body bikini (or swim trunk) ready.
But is the gym the only place to shed those extra pounds and tone up? We don't think so! McCaffrey homes are designed to inspire and enrich a healthy and active lifestyle without having to go far from home. Here's how:
