Summer Workouts

]]> This summer, get outdoors and enjoy nature while also getting fit. In addition to traditional fitness routines such as walking and running, you can also incorporate these activities into your summer fitness regimen.

If you are headed to the mountains for vacation this summer, enjoy your time outdoors and get fit by hiking. Be sure to take a lot of water with you on your hike and only stay on designated trails, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the area.

Biking
Enjoy the summer sun by biking. Whether you are riding on the city streets or through the hills, you can get in a get in a good workout by biking. Consider joining a riding group in your area. Most major cities have a bicycle association or bike riding groups.

Swimming
As I mentioned in a previous post, swimming is a popular exercise, particularly in the summer. Head to the pool at your local YMCA or health club. Swimming laps every day is a great alternative for a low-impact, full body aerobic workout.

Sports Bra Saves Alpine Hiker

]]> When we think “mountains” and “rescue,” the first thing that comes to mind, thanks to years of intense—and um, still ongoing—Looney Tunes study, are St. Bernards wearing a barrel of booze around their necks. (FWIW, we didn’t see a single dog toting around libations during our trip to Switzerland, Germany, and Austria last year. What’s up with that?)

But it seems that in the Alps, sports bras can be pretty effective when you’ve been stranded for three days, too. 

We had (brief) visions of a topless chick flailing around a bra (sorry, but the headline really threw us off). Alas, 24-year-old Jessica Bruinsma chose a far more clever tactic to call for help after falling onto a ledge: She fastened her sports bra to a timber-transport cable.

It worked. The sports bra was eventually spotted by a worker at the base and a rescue team caught up with the resourceful American hiker. She suffered a shoulder injury and a bruised leg but is otherwise fine.

Aww . . . who knew a sports bra could make everyone feel so warm and fuzzy?
