Spring Awakening


Day light savings brings such brightness to life!! Just think about all the things you can do now that you have the lighter part of day on your side. Take 15 minutes in the sun daily for vitamin D and this is very important for the nourishment of our bones. My recommendation is not to over do your time in the sun and remember to wear suntan lotion from your face down to the toes. Enjoy all the outdoor options.

Cycle Your Way Into Shape


Spring is here - and there's no better way to get into shape than by cycling! Start at 20 miles, and gradually build your ride to 30 or even 50 miles. The pounds will melt away - unless, of course, you stuff your face with chocolate cake, breads and high caloric drinks /alcohol after your ride. Cycling is also a great way to give your legs muscular definition especially around the very difficult thigh area that is prone to cellulite. Try this low impact sport as it nurtures your knees and lower back in comparison to running, jogging and tennis. If you do not own a bicycle rent a bike at the local shop. It is much more fun to ride with people while taking in the clean country air, so find a bike club to join and the daily rides should be well orgainized and guided by a leader. What could be a better way to get into shape and make new friends?
