Another recommendation will undoubtedly be to participate in a regular exercise program that could include walking or cycling.

Hi. We're your gay neighbors. And by the way, don't mind the sometimes loud grunts, naked men, cameras and large vats of lube around the place. Sometimes, we lend our house out for porn shoots.

Yes, that's what a couple in Midtown might be telling their own version of Wisteria Lane now that they've been outed by a local gay nightlife glossy as holding porn shoots in their 3,300-square-foot home. Not that there's anything wrong that -- we just don't have the room in the Project Q Atlanta headquarters for all of that.
