  Imagine get fit before, after and WHILE you travel - That is the beauty, ease and convenience of the SpinGym.   No matter what kind of trip you're taking, there's one thing is certain: Our normal routines get thrown out the window when traveling- yes?? • If you work out in a gym, suddenly you might not have access to any equipment. • If you run around your neighborhood, suddenly you no longer have a familiar path to follow. • If you usually prepare your own meals, suddenly you don’t have a kitchen or fridge. • If you’re used to a good night’s sleep, suddenly you’re sleeping at odd hours in different time zones. Your exercise needs to become your constant while traveling – make a commitment to yourself that you will find at least one hour every other day to exercise – NO EXCUSES.  Add it to your calendar, set up an email reminder, do whatever it takes, but don’t take no for an answer.  You might need to wake up early one day to fit it in.  You might need to exercise at 11PM at night on another day. so here are some fitness travel ideas Go on [...]

It was clean, modern, and spacious. The backyard was also where we spent most of our time since there were fishing poles and paddle boards at our disposal. We also were fortunate to paddle board by dolphins in the bay. The location was also a short walk to multiple places and a short drive to John's Pass. Tom was also highly receptive and helpful during our stay. [...]

BEACH, SUN, FUN and YOUR HEALTH! 1. You're more relaxed along the coast Look at the picture. Stress free, right? The very sight of it can subconsciously calms you...  Pictures of urban landscapes elicited activity in the parts of our brains associated with stress, studies have shown participants who were shown nature pictures had heightened activity in the parts associated with “positive outlook, emotional stability and the recollection of happy memories.”  Its warm, fresher air and as long as you don't take you laptop -- you WILL be more relaxed! 2. Water returns us to our natural state                        We’re connected to water from the onset of life. Babies’ bodies are 75 percent water. As we age, we become drier (only 60 percent), but our brains are still three-fourths water and even our bones are 31 percent water. Simply - When you see or hear the ocean, you know “you’re in the right place.” 3. Blue, it turns out, is the world’s favorite color.  A 2003 research project that surveyed 232 people from around the world about their associations with various colors. Forty-two percent of men said blue was their favorite color, while 35 [...]

  One of the most adventures I ever went on was a 6 week trip to Africa.  I have dear friends who live in Lake Navaisha and thought it would be a great Christmas/New Years (1998-1999) trip.  I was MORE than right.  I will never forget. Some highlights include getting to pet Cheetahs - note to self - these was NOT a scheduled tour nor were they tamed.  I have a friend Junie Zwager who owns a game reserve and I am profoundly lucky that I didn't get hurt that day.  I was just mesmerized by the giant and gently cats and took a chance.  I DO NOT recommend it. :)
