Fried chicken, biscuits with butter and honey, mashed potatoes with gravy—all that outstandingly delicious Southern comfort food has a way of adding pounds and inches, fast. Add it to a sedentary lifestyle, and you'll soon find that your favorite jeans won't zip, and just walking up a flight of stairs has you huffing and puffing.

Fear not, Jacksonians. The city offers numerous ways to keep those calories in check and your body in shape. When you overdo it, we've got that covered, too. It's time for a massage!
