Was Your New Year Resolution to Lose Weight? How to Get Fit in SW Minneapolis

"Loosing Weight" or "getting buff" are some of the most common—and most commonly broken—resolutions.

If you're like many Americans, you decided that this was the year you'd get fit. Starting the day or weekend after New Year's, maybe you started jogging or bicycling, or maybe you just browsed online for exercise equipment.

But, one week after the New Year, how are you doing on your resolution? Did this weekend's nippy weather turn you off? Or maybe the cost of buying your own eliptical machine gave you pause?

If you're looking for a more structured way to meet your personal goals, try looking right around the corner. There are more than a half- dozen gyms and fitness studios all over Southwest Minneapolis. Their comfortable, snow-free confines might be what you're trying to find.
