Exercise

Not easy because this Way-too-charming medieval village is at the very top of a very steep little mountain. Overlooking the Mediterranean. It's a serious climb from Sea level. To a place pronounced "ezz". Burn more calories than you swallow on the Walk.

You could slip, trip or otherwise sprain an ankle or end up on your butt later today. And off both feet for six to eight weeks. So take a minute to consider two minutes a day of Balance Training. One leg at a time. Just Press Play.

Tough game yesterday. Sore today. Muscle knots. Stiff ridge lines of muscle. Give yourself a massage. "Self-Myofascial Release" with this 3-in-1 Massage Roller. The stick that keeps on giving.

A great day-hike. 18 miles. 6 to 8 hours with three river crossings, two canal crossings and one waterfall crossing. Burn almost 2,500 calories. More than you'll consume trying to sample all the cuisines in the Byward Market district.

If it's not cold enough where you live, give Quebec City a try. Right now or next month during Winter Carnival. 4 hours and 10 miles to burn more than 1,000 calories. More than you'll consume in a half-day tour of the monuments, bistros and bakeries.

I've always thought walking is its own reward. But if you need some spectacular ends to justify the means, Press Play. There's only one Way to get here.
