Get FIT at The Cd'A Resort today

COEUR d'ALENE - If you want a jump start on getting fit for the new year, head for The Coeur d'Alene Resort.

The CDAFIT Expo is 4-7 p.m. today. Nearly 30 booths will be set up, offering demonstrations, information and expertise on everything you might need to get in the best shape of your life.

Representatives of various fields, including fitness clubs, dietary supplements and nutrition, in-home gym equipment, pilates, chiropractic and cycling will be on hand for the event that offers free admission, food and parking.

"We're trying to create a blend of all different kinds of organizations that offer something a little different," said event coordinator Andreas John.

Anyone with questions on fitness or vowing a new year's resolution of dumping bad habits and gaining better ones should be there.

Want to ditch the junk food and go with bananas and apples? How about ways to develop a walking program? Considering buying an exercise bike? Come on down. You'll find what you need.

"They definitely don't want to miss this show," he said.

John said last year's FIT Expo was well attended, and he expects another strong turnout. Organizers are hoping to create an environment where anyone considering lifestyles changes or looking to have their questions answered will find the expo helpful.

"You can actually start your fitness routine right then and there," he said.
