Spring break is coming. For many, this means it's time for a vacation. Depending on your idea of vacation, this could mean taking in the sights in a big city or laying on the beach at an exotic resort. Either way, it's always easy to overindulge by always eating out, taking cabs, oversleeping, etc. But no matter what you do, there are simple ways to stay active while staying relaxed.
Carry your luggage. Bellhops and wheeled bags make moving luggage a breeze, but by carrying your own stuff, you'll work up a sweat and get your heart rate up while working your muscles.
Take the stairs. Skip the elevator. If you're staying in a room a few floors up, this will get you good, easy workout. If you're staying on too high of a floor to walk, take the elevator part way and the stairs the rest.
Walk. While you're out seeing the sights, skip the cabs and public transportation. Most big cities are fairly easy to navigate, and walking a few block in between destinations is a great way to stay moving.
Eat wisely. Many times it's necessary to eat out while on vacation, assuming you haven't brought your kitchen along. But by being choosy about where and what you eat, you can still eat healthy while on vacation. Eat local foods from local farmers, skip the burger and have a salad. You can enjoy yourself and still eat healthy.
Drink lots of water. It's easy to get dehydrated doing all this walking and stair climbing, especially if you're in a hot, sunny place. Drink water to stay cool and energized throughout your trip.
Have you heard the song "Rumble and Sway" yet on Triple M?
The singer sounds like a raspy blues dude who's definitely been around the block a few times....but surprisingly, Jamie N. Commons is only 23 years old!
He was born in England, but...
Last week, I decided I would try one new, healthy food a week, and asked my facebook friends to make some suggestions.
The first thing I tried was mango. I'm sure I've had other mango flavored things, and mango as part of something else, but...
There's only one thing that might be worse than the Neil Diamond/Barbra Streisand duet "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." And that's Jonathan Suttin doing his best crooning...doing both parts. Most unpleasant.
A lot of people liked this song...
Artist: Alchemilla
Hail From: Boston
Song: 'The Wheel'
Album: Diamonds From The Penny Arcade
Sounds Like: Hole, Pearl Jam
In Their Words: "Alchemilla had been trying to write a ballad for a little while but it wasn't happening. There...
Last weeks challenge we thought went excellent! Of course we are a little biased.
The drinking song couldn't have been any better, or any less fun. We had a blast through out the whole process, and our performance rocked.
This week is an easy...
So the story goes Michael Jackson completed this song while watching cartoons with Paul McCartney. We'll just let that sink in for a moment.
Not sure what cartoons they were watching, but it must have worked because this song made it to number 2...
The Dalai Lama is back in town, sharing his message of peace and kindness with likeminded individuals, and the Wisconsin legislature. He also held a private meeting with Gov. Walker, who said he mostly listened to what His Holiness had to say (wise...
This duet by Ol' Blue Eyes and his daughter went all the way to number 1 back in 1967. It seems a little creepy that Frank and Nancy Sinatra are singing a love song. However, a lot of Triple M listeners were in the mood for it.
Here's...
