Federal Hill 15

Have you heard of the freshman 15?  Well let me introduce you to the Federal Hill 15.  I moved to Federal Hill (a bar district in Baltimore, MD for non-locals) about a year and a half ago.  Federal Hill is a wonderful area to live for young professionals like myself.  Everything is within walking distance, and there is always something to do.  With that being said, it makes it very easy to gain that Federal Hill 15.  Hungry?  There are 20 restaurants within a few blocks; and if you don't wan to walk, there is always Eat24.  Bored?  There is a happy hour every night, which great food and drink specials.  Federal Hill also blesses you with the ability to walk (or if you are lazy Uber) to one of our great city's sporting events.  The Ravens and the Orioles are only a hop, skip, and a jump away.  And if you don't have tickets to the game, and don't want to watch it alone, you can always go to one of the many local bars showcasing the game.  So let's recap...tons of great food, loads of alcohol, and city that young and doesn't like to sleep...this plays a toll on the waistline quickly.  I put on my Federal Hill 15 in my first year living here.  Now I know why everyone runs in this neighborhood.  It is a requirement to keep up with the lifestyle.

If you are planning to move to Federal Hill, or another bar district, make sure you have a workout plan in mind.  The city can take its toll on your body quickly.  For me, I joined the local gym and started running.  Maybe you will enjoy taking up rec league sports or home workouts.  Whatever it maybe make sure you stay active, or that Federal Hill 15 could turn into your Federal Hill 30 before you know it!
