Elderly, women, kids changing the shape of fitness.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Older folks, muscular women, thrill-seeking kids.
These are the soldiers of a revolution in physical fitness who have thrown down rackets and balls and taken to exercising on mechanical contraptions at homes and health clubs.
The change has been fueled by a variety of factors, including:
_Americans' heightened awareness that they need exercise _ and have less time to "just do it."
_Elderly people's flooding onto Fitness Beach, as doctors extol the benefits of activity and strength training.
_And new activities' drawing the young from traditional Little League pursuits to in-line skating, snowboarding and wall climbing. (Parents are climbing the walls, too.)
The impact is undeniable, and huge.
