A Fitness Vacation to Recharge Weight Loss

Smart Workout Circuit MachineHas your diet stalled out? Have you become a stranger at the gym you joined in January? Sometimes you need a real event to get going in the right direction. I took a Fitness Vacation courtesy of Smart Workout in New York City. Owner Elaine Platt is a veteran of going to health spas for weight loss, and decided to bring that concept to Manhattan. I spent three days doing hours of workouts that were new and fun for me, plus eating delicious food that fit within a 1200-calorie diet, plus having fun out on the town. It was a blast -- and I felt a big change in my body shape and attitude towards exercise. I'm now signed up for a local Zumba class and plan to join in Pilates!

Foot Pampering Thursday

Foot spaThis is the one day of the year I think about foot pampering. It has to do with Jesus washing the feet of his disciples at the Last Supper, this being Holy Thursday, and my many years in Catholic school. After a long walk, I love getting out my foot spa, adding some Epsom salts and warm water, starting the water swirling and relaxing. Follow it up with a foot rub to get the blood moving and reduce swelling. Then moisturize with some mint foot cream. Ah, the tootsies feel better now!

A Tale of 3 Bottles

Camelbak Groove Insulated Filter BottleDrinking enough throughout the day can be as important as drinking enough during exercise. But I hear from many people who don't like the taste of their tap water. One solution is to use a filter bottle. I got a sample of the Camelbak Groove Insulated Filter Bottle, which removes the chlorine taste from your water. It works well for drinking water throughout the day. I've been using it at work, and it's nice to fill it with water and ice and have refreshing water for hours.
