MOTIVATION: one hour for you.

We fly around at top speed from the minute we wake up to the minute we check our email for the last time and hit the pillow. We make time to do countless things in our day. We squeeze in a million errands and appointments. Why do we not try as hard to squeeze in our workouts? Why do we not have time for one hour when we focus solely on our bodies? Why do we not have one hour to clear our minds?

Make it a priority. Make it your time. Do any kind of workout you love the most. Do it for you. Stop. Log off. Tune out everything else. Focus on you. And get moving.

The Barefoot Movement

Wed, 30 May 2012 12:27:40 -0400

For years I’ve knocked the barefoot running movement, convincing myself that my bulky shoes and SuperFeet insoles reduce shock and improve my alignment. After test-driving barefoot running on the beach this month, my perspective on barefoot running has totally shifted and I now understand the hype. My body hasn’t been so sore from a run in a long time, a true testament to the intensity of barefoot running. Here are a few benefits for running barefoot:

Full body workout: Running barefoot, especially on sand, works your entire body. Plyometrics strengthen the tendons in your feet, knees and hips. You’ll also feel a strong core workout as your abs and back muscles help propel you forward.

Nature’s pedicure: Running on sand exfoliates your feet as you dash along the beach. With that exfoliation can come some serious blisters, so pace yourself. If you regularly run 3 miles, start with a mile on the beach and then build up from there.

Sometimes simpler is just better: No socks, no shoes, just do it. Plus, unlike running on pavement, the softer surface of the sand is much kinder on your joints.
