Making a Splash

The American swimming rivalry between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte continues to heat up as they had their first meeting in the 400-meter individual medley.  It was a grueling race encompassing all four strokes- one that Phelps said he would never compete in again after taking gold in Beijing. Lochte won the Gold this time and Phelps didn’t even get on the podium.

Although history may not repeat itself for a Phelps domination, the olympics aren’t over yet. They still have many races ahead of them!

Not everyone has to be an olympian to make the water a great place to exercise!  YogAqua is the practice and art of a vigorous Yoga flow into fusion with the sport of Stand Up Paddle Boarding.  Their tag line is, “Where the ocean is your yoga mat”  Don’t worry that you’ll float away, as they anchor you down with a weight!

Live Long and Prosper With These Tips:

I’ve never been a big fan of exercise or dieting. I prefer everything in moderation. Can I be in better shape? Absolutely. But am I willing to go the extra step? Definitely not :)

Here are things that keep me in good mental and physical shape.

1. “Eat Right For Your Type” is the best book I ever read on diet and nutrition. It just makes sense and there is no dieting involved. I have been following this for many, many years and recommended it to many of my friends.  

2. My only forms of exercise are walking in the nature on the weekends and swimming in my pool in the summer. I love any activities that include water. Being on the boat is very relaxing and recharging. I basically look for anything to relieve the stress.

3. I like to snack throughout the day. To keep it on the healthier side and to get the antioxidants, I snack on blueberries. For my sweet cravings I indulge in chocolate, also high in antioxidants. My favorite brand is Epiphany handmade gourmet chocolates .

4. Sunbathing is a must for me. I never over do it. But 30 minutes of sunshine over the weekend provides me with a healthy glow and vitamin D. My favorite suntan lotion is  Maui Babe. It smells like coffee and it leaves your skin super soft.

What outdoor activities do you enjoy that help you de-stress?
