HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- This summer you can spend your Saturdays in the park getting in shape.

Mayor Tommy Battle was flanked by city and business leaders in Big Spring Park Thursday morning as he unveiled his second annual Healthy Huntsville Initiative.

Every Saturday in June, professional trainers will be on hand to help folks work out.

Just about every fitness craze from yoga to Zumba, Pilates and Tai Chi will be available, and it's all free.

"Anyone of any fitness level can come out and try these classes, so if you're someone who has never worked out before, you can do it, or if you're a bootcamp enthusiast, we're gonna have some stuff here for you too and all in between,"said Kevin Ready with the Huntsville Hospital Wellness Center.

The workouts run from 8:30 am until 1 p.m.

They start Saturday, May 18, take off for Memorial Day weekend, then come back June 1.

There are very few modern-day commercials I enjoy watching, especially the ones you see on nearly -every- commercial break. I understand that's the nature of the business today. I don't have to like it, but I accept it.

Luckily there's nothing preventing me from putting the TV on mute every once in awhile and looking up commercials from the better era of ads (read that as 'before I was born.') I remembered a great ad I saw on a TV special about, of all things, the greatest commercials of all time. It starred dancer Ann Miller, and was a spectacle for the now defunct Great American Soup company. What grabbed my attention was the final line, after Miller's big, expensive song and dance. Her TV husband embraces her and asks, "Emily, why do you always have to make such a big production out of everything?"
