Get Out and Get Fit
Two-thirds of Americans are overweight, yet only 15 percent of us exercise. The trick is to stop thinking about exercise as 50 sit-ups on your hardwood floors or 90 minutes of heated yoga. There’s nothing wrong with either, but mix the hard-core stuff up with a trek through a nature preserve or a bike ride along White Rock Lake. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, camping, boating, fishing, and rock climbing are not only good exercise—they’re fun. And you’ll be surprised how many places there are to enjoy each of them—all about two hours from Dallas.
