Vacation Plan: Yellowstone Trail Mix
It's U. S. National Park Week. If you can't get away this week, you can dream and plan. Start with Yellowstone. Scores of trails. Mountains, canyons, rivers, forests, meadows, plains, geysers and buffalo.
Free your toes, free your mind.
If you've been avoiding adventurous trails for fear of falling or tiring, you should try these new-style shoes. They've made me very, very sure-footed. Balanced and steady on any terrain. Comfortable and carefree.
The Walk That Ate The Paradox
The “French paradox”: How can they eat all that rich food and drink all that wine -- and have dramatically lower rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes than Americans? Maybe it's the low glycemic load of all that traditional food and wine.
Moving Monday: Dance Crazed
10 Tunes designed for dancing. 30 Minutes. 220 calories. If you have trouble getting motivated to exercise, I have a modest suggestion. Put on some music that you can't not dance to. This is aerobic. Dress or undress appropriately. Then crank up the tunes.
Living Room Olympics: Figures Skating
Ever see an Olympic figure skater who didn't have a great figure? A tight little butt, flat abs, total flexibility and great balance? Of course not. So what does it take to get into those tight little costumes? Might be this all-in-one exercise that strengthens and stretches everything.
Living Room Olympics: Skating. In place.
Let the games begin. The good news: you're too late to qualify for the team. So let's skate in place. Your place. No skates. No ice. No mittens. But almost all the exercise benefits of real skating. In front of the TV. While you watch the Olympians skate around ovals.
Moving Monday: The Year On The Trail
Three spectacular places to walk your Way to health and happiness in the New Year. Press Play. Then make a resolution. Or three. Happy New Year. Happy trails.
The Gift of Awe
In the presence of honest-to-goodness, awesome nature. Vast, beautiful expanses of it. Places that make you feel deeply grateful to be alive on this planet. Places you can only get to on foot. So here are some gifts to encourage and enable someone you love to get there.
The Gift of Massage
When yesterday's hike turns into today's muscle knots, give yourself a massage with this 3-in-1 Massage Roller. Looks kinky, but it's a great Way to work out the kinks. Always available. Never needs an appointment. Tipping's optional.
The Gift of Fresh
Fresh you. Refreshed you. Fresh legs. Fresh, hydrated everything when you're on a long walk or hike. The gift that makes it so easy and convenient to take a sip of water before you need it.
