(Photo by Brian Milo) Back to school already? Where did all the months go? While our New Year-resolution gym card collects dust in the junk drawer, we can at least take pride in the kick-ass workout we got at this summer's Ozzfest. Merry mayhem, stress relief, and sweating bullets under the hot August sun. 840 minutes of aerobic headbanging and moshing -- Jazzercise for the metal generation. Don't panic. Think of the pit as an extreme fitness class: Run, bounce, pivot, jump, break out for a breather, and jump back in. It's similar to the jab jab, hook, shuffle, squat, uppercut, block, and sidekicks of the kickboxing classes we've been missing. And Tool is coming to town. We could buy concert tickets with our gym fees! But if being caught in a mosh isn't your style, Barbra Streisand tickets are still up for grabs in a city near you -- though you probably won't break a sweat. Suggested Sites...
