Nite Moves- Santa Barbara's Twilight Tradition
By Viju Mathew
It's become as venerable a local tradition as Fiesta. Every Wednesday evening from May through September, Santa Barbara's more fitness focused set out for their Mecca by the Mesa, Leadbetter Beach. Some make it a pavement-pounding pilgrimage while others commune with the sea in a spirited swim. A growing number of zealots do both. It's all part of the regionally renowned Nite Moves Summer Sunset Series now entering its twenty-second year⎯an event that increases in popularity and participation with each passing season.
New Year's Resolutions
New Year’s Resolutions are plentiful – 70% of us make them. Here are some good ways to keep your resolutions in 2010:
1. Join a contest: A contest could be just what the doctor ordered. Contests such as Conditioning Specialists’ Biggest Winner Challenge, incentivize its contestants to stick to a program by offering prizes to its participants and the potential of a hefty cash prize. These types of contests also offer accountability to the participants whom enter – one of the top reasons New Year’s Resolutions aren’t met.
Walk This Way.... And That Way Too!
Here is a riddle: what is free, fun, easy, healthy, mood boosting, low-tech, and muscle building? Hmm, can't be chocolate because it was 85 cents at the store, it's not air because that's not necessarily fun, and it's definitely not the food samples you can eat at Costco because that's got to be far from healthy. Are you scratching your head yet? The answer is actually simpler than you think. It's actually as easy as... walking!
WhatSUP?
Yoga? You’ve been saying ‘OHM’ long before trendydesigner yoga bags became fashionable. Bosu Balls? Ditto. You’ve been bouncingand balancing on that blue dome way before it became the next ‘it’ piece offitness equipment. Such a trend setter would surely know what’s up with SUP.
