Exercise

Long as they get. Compared to those short Winter days, these Summer days give you about six extra hours of daylight. You can do a four-hour walk or hike before high noon. Use 'em or lose 'em. Here's how.

Stretch and strengthen your core, back and leg muscles while you bend and flex. Strengthen your shoulder and chest muscles by squeezing this really big $12 exercise ball between your hands. You use many, many muscles. Very time-efficient. And burns calories faster.

Four mountains in Acadia National Park. Yours for the Walking. Five miles, two or three hours, 1,000 calories burned. A ten or fifteen minute drive to the lobster pier for 400 calories of the best lobster roll you'll ever have.

Stretch and strengthen your core, back and leg muscles while you stand and twist. Strengthen your shoulder and chest muscles by squeezing this really big $12 exercise ball between your hands. You use many, many muscles. Very time-efficient. And burns calories faster.

Stretch and strengthen your outer thigh and butt muscles while you lift your leg. Strengthen your core and back muscles by supporting yourself with just one hand on this really big $12 exercise ball. You use many, many muscles. Very time-efficient. And burns calories faster.

Stretch and strengthen your core, back and leg muscles while you stand and twist. Strengthen your shoulder and chest muscles by squeezing this really big $12 exercise ball between your hands. You use many, many muscles. Very time-efficient. And burns calories faster.

If you're in Italy this Sunday, you get to celebrate Cantina Aperta. Translation: the wineries are open, come party. Sadly, nothing like that here in the States. So I made up a day-long Walking & Drinking Extravaganza in Napa, CA.

Another bouncy exercise. But not too bouncy. The Ball is unstable. It rolls. Unless you exert force to keep it in place. Which means you engage many large and small muscles. Very time-efficient. And it burns more calories.
