For more than 21 years Jim Reevs has enjoyed exercising five to six times a week. He's even raced in the Ore to Shore bike race, the Superior Bike Fest and various running races on an annual basis. But when he turned 50, he realized that exercise alone does not constitute a healthy lifestyle.

Reevs found out he has hypertension and in order to lower it, he became part of the Healthy Weight Journal Challenge.

"There is a direct link between obesity and high blood pressure," he said. "To me it seems stupid taking medicine if you can take care of yourself healthwise".
