Back To School

The transition to autumn weather usually brings a reduction in outdoor recreation. Do you plan to hibernate for the winter like so many others? Don’t let the gray skies and misty air derail your fitness routine. I suggest embracing this “Back to School” time of year; and trying out a new fitness routine, exercise class, meal plan….or all of the above. It is completely understandable if you fall into the same trap that many Americans do. “The days are getting shorter, it’s dark when I wake up, it’s dark when I get home from work, it’s cold, windy and rainy, it’s football season, we have guests at the house”….. excuses, excuses, I’ve heard them all!

We believe these habits instill in our kids the benefits of being physically and socially active. Continue reading “Healthy Choices for Kids”

As long-time residents of the Pacific Northwest, we can’t wait for our warm, sunny days. You can also say that we suffer through all the different types of weather that fall, winter, and spring can throw at us just so we can enjoy three months of beautiful weather. And if memory serves, a Northwest icon used to sing, “The bluest skies you’ve seen are in Seattle.” Sometimes our summertime weather can get extremely hot. We don’t experience it often, so we don’t always know what to do to stay safe. I’d like to share a few tips for staying cool when summer temperatures rise to dangerous levels.
