Skiing is a great way to exercise and there’s no better place to do it than in Idaho. Idaho is home to many ski destinations and finding one to your own preference is easy. There are also many popular resorts in Idaho that offer skiing and boarding. Aside from the joy one gets from skiing, many people ski for its health benefits. Your feet carry the weight of your body when you ski and this activity strengthens your knee joints which make injuries less likely to happen later in life. Your cardiovascular system benefits well when you ski, increasing blood circulation and brining more oxygen and nutrients to your oxygen.
If you want to burn calories, hiking is a good physical activity to do it. It’s also a great excuse to get out and get some fresh air. Hiking in Idaho is a fun activity that will allow you to enjoy nature and have a great exercise at the same time. The state has over 19,000 miles of trails so it won’t be a problem finding a hiking trail to your preference. You can also look for bike trails if that’s what you prefer.

Three local teenagers are being hailed as heroes for their quick actions in saving two men from drowning in Lake Coeur d’Alene. Lane Stidham, a 19-year-old North Idaho College student, was at the beach when he heard commotion near the dock. He and his friends rushed to the scene and began performing CPR on one man while another teen jumped into the lake to rescue the second man. After relentless CPR efforts, one of the men regained consciousness. Both were taken to Kootenai Health, and one has been released, while the other is in stable condition. Stidham, however, remains humble, saying they did what anyone else would have done.
Strapped in the car, heading to a Dallas hospital, Tyler Morgan used his phone's camera to record a terrifying moment. His two-year-old son, Beckham, nearly drowned at a pool party. Due to a lightning warning, the pool was off-limits, but Beckham's attraction to water led him in. A teen rescuer pulled Beckham from the water, lifeless and purple-faced. Amid the chaos, Tyler jumped into action. He performed CPR, relying on knowledge from an app developed by his company, Trivie. Beckham coughed, resumed breathing, and was saved. Immediate CPR is crucial, as only about 40% of such cases receive it in the U.S., where cardiac arrests claim around 90% of victims.
A three-year-old boy was playing outside the Palouse Hills Day School when he stopped breathing and started turning blue. His playmate ran to the adults and alerted them about the toddler’s predicament. Daycare workers immediately responded to the scene and applied their CPR training on the unconscious boy. They began with chest compressions until successfully getting the boy to breathe. They also used a defibrillator to help the child breathe without support. The child was transferred to a hospital to get proper care, although he fought off the paramedics who were trying to ventilate him. The cause of the incident is unknown.
