This weekend on FYI Philly we are springing into shape with our fitness circuit for you to check out. We run down some new gyms with different styles to get you fit with everything from water workouts to boxing. We do a little tango training and dance our way to wellness. We round up some ways to get you off the couch and in the game, on the trail and ways to unwind after your workout. Plus, a great recipe for breakfast or after a workout.

These gyms will help you get up and get moving as the weather warms up.

Fitness has become a big part of Philadelphia culture. And the Circuit Trails that surround this city have been a major factor in that renaissance.

Circuit Trails

Jeannette Reyes shows us how a growing network of trails in the surround-ing 9-county Philadelphia area have become one of the region's top resources for working out, getting outside and commuting to work.

Course: Breakfast, Snacks & Appetizers; Dietary Restriction: Egg Free, Vegetarian; Servings: 3 lbs

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups oats rolled, (if you want bars use steel cut oats so it will stick together better)

  • 2. Mix the dry oats, almonds, cashews, coconut, seeds and spices together in a large mixing bowl.

  • 3. Heat the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the butter melts stir in the vanilla and salt.

  • Pour the hot liquids over the dry ingredients and stir together with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.

  • Spread mixture onto prepared pan in one even layer. Bake for 75 minutes.

  • The granola will become crisp as it cools at which point you can break into pieces (if making bars) or break it up into small chunks by pounding it in a zip lock bag (if making cereal). Store in air tight contain-er at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
