Essential Oils

December 21, 2022 / By / Active Lifestyle, All Posts, Wellness

Rarely can I read a news or social media feed today without seeing something about essential oils. It’s one of those everybody is doing it thing, and not typically being one who moves with the masses on trends I was hesitant to try this new craze. Although, it’s not truly new. Using oils and the pure form of natural growing and living elements to heal is as old as time. The benefit of essential oils is that it takes each root, flower, twig, etc. and purges and purifies it for a highly concentrated oil. There are many companies that claim to …

Willing to Spend on Fitness?

The health and wellness industry seems to be booming or perhaps it’s just that I follow the industry closer than I have in the past. I don’t think that’s it though. The age of your at home fitness video’s isn’t cutting it anymore, sorry Jane Fonda. An article on Mind Body Green states that an all-inclusive gym membership doesn’t even satisfy consumers.  Sure you might be able to go to a class that interests you, but I have found that the all-inclusive gyms don’t have the best instructors. Individuals are choosing boutique type workout facilities that cater to their exact workout preference. Many …

Tips From A Triathlete

Just reading about Meredith Kessler, a triathlete, I’m beyond impressed. She’s about to complete her 55th long- distance Ironman race. That’s 5-5 FIFTY FIVE races, just WOW! Many people that aren’t familiar with a triathlon don’t know that there are different distances that can be competed in. The race is comprised of swimming, biking, and running making this the complete cardio killer. The different distances are here as swim/bike/run: Super sprint triathlon: 400m/10km/2.5km. Sprint distance triathlon: 750m/20km/5km. Standard distance triathlon: 1500m/40km/10km. Middle distance triathlon: 2.5km/80km/20k. Long distance triathlon: 4km/120km/30km. Ironman distance triathlon: 3.8km/180km/42km. Several years ago I contemplated competing in …

Find the Time for Exercise in the Fall

With the fall season fast approaching, and I’m talking less than a month away, most of us have seen our lives kick up a notch. The summer is a free for all fun in the sun, but come fall it seems like I don’t even have a minute to breathe. It’s when kids go back to school, work ramps up, and the sun stays away for longer. What we often times don’t realize is that we don’t need to spend grueling hours in the gym to have a successful workout routine. Most of us are able to find 30 minutes …
