Best of Madison Business - Grow
Our Best of Madison Business honorees are always in the business of growth, but this year’s crop is perhaps most unique in the nature of the growth they bring to our community—the growth of more sustainable energy and food sources, the growth of a marketplace for the fruits of that labor, the growth of health and medical care for kids, and the growth of innovative research and technology that could lead to cures. By Neil Heinen & Brennan Nardi
Stay Home, Get Fit A home gym how-to.
Let’s be honest. Most of us can’t exercise outside year-round in Madison. And sometimes a trip to the fitness center doesn’t fit into our schedules. Where else can you work up a sweat? At home, of course. Two area fitness experts tell you what you need to know and what you need to have to set up a home gym that you’ll use and love. By Katie Vaughn
