exercise

I love the thought of being in shape and having God-like muscles but I also hate the idea of needing to work out and exercise to get that type of physique.

Now that we've been swimming all summer long, we're looking fierce and we don't want to lose our rock-solid bods. City pools may close, but there are several year-round pools around Boise that will help us burn a shocking number of calories to get after fitness goals.

Goats and bubbly are involved? I can be persuaded to try anything once!

Boise must be one of the fittest cities in America. There are 25 miles of greenbelt right in the middle of town, and you can't go anywhere without seeing someone riding their bike. The outdoors are genuinely a part of life in Boise, and one of the ways we bring nature into our lives is by going for a hike...

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.

If you ate ten buffalo chicken wings with bleu cheese dressing yesterday during the Big Game party, you'll need to do 150 minutes of stair climbing to burn it all off. And the pepperoni pizza...well, that may take a little longer. Yesterday was so much more fun!

I think we can all agree that the 80s produced some of the best workout songs of all time, right?

Drinking out of a keg might not be all that friendly to the waistline, but if you lift a keg and toss it around, it can totally tone you up. Keg training is becoming more popular, and some Boise athletes are hopping on board with 30-minute, keg-centered workouts.

We already know that Boise is a pretty active place, but a new poll says we're exercising more regularly than most of the US! See where we land in the top 25.
