Active Living magazine
For 18 years, Active Living magazine has served as the flagship title of DT Publishing Group, Inc.   Focusing on fitness, sport and recreation opportunities for healthy living, the publication has steadily redefined what physical activity means for those with disabilities. Active Living serves a very distinct readership – one that shares the ambitions of their able-bodied peers, but looks to the publication for adaptive ways to achieve those goals ­– with the informational tools to attain and maintain a healthy lifestyle, regardless of age, stage or station in life. Active Living magazine is a one-stop source for the healthy lifestyle information.
