This Won't Hurt

But not going to the Fitness Expo might.

Your typical trip to South Beach usually includes some liver-damaging binge drinking, walking long blocks in uncomfortable shoes, and the consumption of artery-clogging, scrumptious slices of pizza. But today and tomorrow, sinful SoBe is offering atonement for you, your family, and anyone else who might be in need of a little healing. And no, we’re not talking about a world-famous Call-a-Cab from Wet Willie’s. It’s the NBC6 Health & Fitness Expo: a mishmash of vendors, healthcare professionals, and live demonstrations, all for the benefit of your well-being, at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Whether you want to learn how to cook more nutritious meals, live a “greener” life, or salsa those pounds off of your thighs, the resources will be at your fingertips. So donate some blood, let a homeless pooch lick your hand, get your financial health evaluated — we promise you’ll thank us. Services such as teeth-whitening are discounted, but rock-climbing, aerobics, and other activities are as free as your body will feel once you give it some much-needed TLC, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
