This month some friends and I have decided to keep ourselves accountable by doing a weight loss competition. As a competitive person, I know that it will take something like this to lose the 20 pounds that I want to lose, so I jumped at the chance to participate...

If you never hit the gym and you don't have an organized fitness plan, you may still be getting a good daily workout. Here's how it sneaks in.

If you're exercising to the point that you're out of breath, you're doing yourself a huge favor. They've increased the amount of cardio we should be getting each week, and this number alone is enough to knock the wind out of you.

When gyms fully open up and you're back on the elliptical, you'll probably have a lot more space around you. Gyms are part of the first phase of the President's re-opening plan, but not without big changes.

More than a third of people will cut a workout short if they forgot something. Others will quit early because they ate a waffle first and shouldn't have. It turns out, there are a whole host of reasons for not finishing strong at the gym.

It's not quite as good as a gym workout, but it turns out a mop session at the house can burn off a ham sandwich. And there are other household chores that are good for burning calories too.

FitOne is coming up next weekend, and there are many more events like it happening later this fall. And you can totally conquer these things. Here's how.

A new high-tech fitness studio opened up this week in Boise, and it gives each member a smart code to plug in at the machines for a personalized workout. And you might need just two 20-minute workouts a week.

Last year, Amanda Dunne won the women's 5k at FitOne with a time of 17:21. That's fast! If you can't run under a six-minute mile it's just fine. You'll be surrounded by support no matter what your pace, and that's what makes this event a great place to give running a try.

Sometimes the gym is a great place to work out, and sometimes it's a great place to read the newspaper and catch up on phone calls. And this is just one of many weird things we see at Treasure Valley gyms.
