It’s the second week of January—have you ditched your resolutions yet? Yeah, yeah—we know that resolutions can come and go, but for many people, the start of a new year is still a time when they’re trying to form new habits and get inspired—and that’s where our Health and Fitness issue comes in. This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with two unconventional pole-dance competitors, who do it as much for the athleticism as anything else. One is a woman over 50; the other is a man who sported a beard to his most recent competition—not exactly the images that first come to mind when you think of pole dancers, but these two are inspiring nonetheless! This week’s issue also takes a look at gym participation, gives you newbie cross-country skiers some info on where to go, profiles a dance fitness class in Bend and lots more.

As we move into the third week of January, here’s to good health and lots of good times out there in the beauty of Central Oregon!
