| 1 | Look good while you work to feel better | Home and Garden |
| THE GOOD news is your inner fashion critic can find loads of ways to express herself while sweating away in a studio, gym or on a run. The good/bad news is there are more choices than ever for looking cute while working out and, most of the time, they will cost you. | ||

| 2 | A new recipe for finer dining on the trail: Dehydrate your meals | Home and Garden |
| She would have cringed at the massive block of cheddar, hauled along ostensibly for mac and cheese. But much of the cheese had to be diverted to the couscous, a dish that taught me the lifelong lesson that food does not always taste better when you’re hungry, cold and in the woods. | ||

| 3 | Corps work: Get good exercise for the good Earth | Home and Garden |
| BURIED DEEP in a thicket of sword ferns in Lincoln Park in West Seattle, wrestling with vine after vine of English ivy, I wished I had worn a heart monitor. Crouching in a forest and pulling out English ivy by the roots isn’t easy; I wanted to know exactly how hard I was working. | ||

| 4 | Hula hoop it up and get your cardio, core groove going | Home and Garden |
| ON THE FIRST day of hula hooping class at the School of Acrobatics & New Circus Arts (SANCA) in Georgetown, you get to pick out your hoop. A big, awesome, heavy hula hoop. Then you put it down and are handed a plastic hoop the size of a Frisbee. My face fell. | ||

| 5 | Kids go for yoga, even in their Sunday best | Home and Garden |
| WE WAVED our arms overhead, we cajoled, we did yoga poses. A teacher's gotta do what a teacher's gotta do to get students into class. Especially when a purple dinosaur named Barney and a girl named Dora the Explorer are nearby. And your audience is ages 3 and up. | ||

| 6 | Melt (Method) away imbalance with this regimen of rejuvenation | Home and Garden |
| I really like to lounge on the couch. But sometimes I like for someone else to tell me how to relax, like a restorative yoga class. I dig relaxing classes that do good things for my body. Cue the Melt Method. | ||

| 7 | In an outrigger canoe, you're true to your crew | Home and Garden |
| TAKING TO THE water in an outrigger canoe is not at all leisurely. This canoeing does not include stopping to peer into houseboats on Lake Union or exclaiming over a glorious sunset or pausing to chitchat with the rest of your crew. Outrigger canoeing is a little bit relentless. | ||

| 8 | Working out for work: A look back at a fitness-packed year | Home and Garden |
| ONE YEAR into this gig called working out for work, and I still can't thrust my hips properly in a belly dance or pop the right body part at the right time in a hip-hop dance class. I will never be asked to star in a Bollywood dance number, either. | ||

| 9 | Tabata tests your mettle with bursts of intensity | Home and Garden |
| Rest for one minute after the round is complete and move on to a new exercise. Do five exercises or so and you can get a complete workout in 25 minutes. When I heard about Tabata, it sounded moderately tough. | ||

| 10 | If endurance is a goal, you'll get a kick out of kickboxing | Home and Garden |
| When I decided to take on kickboxing for this column, I wanted the real deal. I looked around online and found Alpha Martial Arts, a legit martial-arts studio that also offers fitness kickboxing in the Muay Thai style. | ||

| 11 | Fitness apps keep you on track | Home and Garden |
| THE NUMBER of fitness apps out there is dizzying. There's an app for every kind of workout. You can track calories, your walking pace, your cycling pace and your last run. If only the app could do the workout for us. Apps are useful for tracking growth and getting new ideas for workouts. | ||

| 12 | Indo-Row tests timing as well as arms, legs and core | Home and Garden |
| ON DAYS when I'm up early enough, I love seeing crew teams row on Lake Washington. It looks effortless and beautiful as they glide in sync across the glassy water in their lightweight shells. | ||

| 13 | Hip-hop to it for a fun, high-energy workout | Home and Garden |
| I heard it at least a dozen times in one hour, and it is catchy. If only the dance moves I learned along with it had embedded themselves in my body the same way. I got the idea to take a hip-hop class from an acquaintance who was head-over-heels for hers. I was a little nervous about it. | ||

| ONE BY ONE, the women at the Curves gym in Seattle's Central District lined up to talk — bubbling over with stories about how Curves had changed their bodies and their lives. They all mentioned how grateful they are to Lisa Ingraham for saving their gym. | ||

| 15 | Let your injury be your guide to working out | Home and Garden |
| I WAS THINKING about the wall when it happened. Specifically, I was thinking about how not to fall off an indoor-rock-climbing wall at a Seattle gym. My hip did a little pop as I lifted my foot and placed it on the next climbing hold, but I ignored it. | ||

| 16 | That's the team spirit: Group sports are great for motivation | Home and Garden |
| FOR MANY kids, playing team sports was a normal part of the day. We got up early or spent the afternoon at practice, and we played in tournaments on weekends. We ran around a lot, and most of the time we thought it was fun. | ||

| 17 | To stay strong and fit, mix it up! | Home and Garden |
| I'VE ALWAYS been part of the school of accidental cross-training. I love hiking and skate skiing for seasonal cardio, and my favorite routine is daily yoga. But I have never felt compelled to run or add in anything new. | ||

| 18 | For fun (and motivation) run with the crowd | Home and Garden |

| 19 | CrossFit? Columnist is all in | Home and Garden |
| I WAS SUSPICIOUS of the enthusiasm. People who do CrossFit talk about it in rapturous tones. They blather on about how sore they are. They use terminology foreign to us normal folk. Then one of my friends turned. She wasn't just in; she was all in. She wanted me to do it, too. | ||

| 20 | Limiting, yes, but the Paleo diet can help you feel better | Home and Garden |
| When I tackled the Paleo diet, sugar and wheat were just the start of food that had to go. See ya later, legumes. So long, soy sauce. No grains, not even quinoa and brown rice? Well, shoot. The Paleo diet advocates eating real food like cave men used to. | ||
