The Right Combination

You know me, I’m always looking for new and interesting ways to get motivated to stay in shape.  I’ve come to the conclusion that I will never be the gym rat I was in my early twenties so I have to get creative.  I still do free weights in my basement but one of the things that has recently caught my eye is Kettlebell training. I think if I combined it with my new found love for jumping rope I could end up with a combination that will keep me interested for quite some time.  Especially since I am looking to tone up and build up my cardio rather than gaining bulk.  As I get older the thought of carrying more weight just doesn’t seem as appealing as it did when I was 21.

Fourth of July Getaway

The fourth of July is approaching soon.  Normally, I would plan a big cookout, invite some friends over and party like its 1999 but this year I think I am going to switch things up.  Instead of cooking out on the grill I think I’ll take this opportunity to go on a little trip.  The beach is only about an hour away from me but I think I want to do something a little more exotic.  So, I will be looking around for travel deals so that I can keep costs in check.  I don’t really have a preferred destination I’m just going to look for something not too far away thats affordable.  Since I rarely do any holiday traveling I’m curious to see what types of prices I can get.
