Welcome

How many times in the Bay Area do you look to the top of Mission Peak, Mount Tamalpais, or Mount Diablo, and think, how do I get up there? Or how many times do you look down at a belly and think, how did that get down there?

This blog will tell you literally how to get up there, when to go, and how to prepare for it. This is a blog for the average person who wants to get in better shape. This is a blog for families who don't have time or money for gyms (which is so many more of us). We have a specific focus on Fremont, Newark, Union City. Men's Health consistently rates Fremont a healthy city, and we want you to discover why.

Follow this blog, and read posts about scenic and low traffic jogging routes, challenging bike rides, goal setting, exercising with dogs, healthy recipes to satisfy unhealthy cravings, all with a specific focus on affordability. Gyms are great, and we will review them here to help you decide if one can work for you, but not everyone has that luxury.
