Have you resolved to be more active in 2013? If so, now’s a good time to start. It might be cold out there—Hello? ZERO degrees when the Boise Healthy Living Examiner pulled up to the gym this morning. That is crazy cold!—but you can still find some “cool” ways to get moving. You can ski, ice skate, shoot some hoops, hit the volleyball court, or learn about predator hunting. And, there’s even weight loss challenge you can join, with cash prizes. Here’s a list to help you stay off the couch this weekend.
