Exercise Clothing

Have you ever given much thought to what you wear when you workout? I have a confession to make about my exercise gear. For the longest time I would workout in my pajamas. It just seemed easier to stay in them since it was the morning, get in my workout and then take a shower and get dressed for the day. Although they were comfortable (which is important when choosing clothing to exercise in), it wasn’t really workable. Take for instance my pajama bottoms which were a bit too loose. Or the longer pants that I would step on. But … Continue reading →

Dancing for Fitness

As individuals we all feel the need to express ourselves in different ways to allow our creative inner self to be shown to the world. Some people relieve this passion by writing, by their appearance of clothing or hair color, with tattoos or piercing; while others find the outlet of dance to be all they ever need. It can be done alone, with children, or with your partner; that is the beauty of the art of dance. Besides the fact that there is no right or wrong way; no one has to correct your movements, it is fun and great … Continue reading →

Insoles Comfort: Free-Flex

One of the last things we sometimes think about when it comes to exercise is comfort. And out of all the gear you could wear, shoes are the most important. In fact, wearing the right shoe could actually prevent injuries. I love my shoes. But they require inserts in order to bring the most comfort.

Preparing for Fall Workouts

In a previous blog I encouraged you to take advantage of fall’s cooler temperatures to exercise outdoors. After all, there is nothing more invigorating than taking a bike ride or a simple stroll on a crisp autumn day. However, similar to working out in summer’s stifling heat, exercising in fall’s brisk conditions takes some planning. For example, during fall it gets darker earlier in the evening and stays darker later in the morning, so it pays to plan accordingly. If you are walking or running outdoors before the sun rises or after the sun goes down consider wearing a reflective … Continue reading →
