The Walk That Ate Santa Fe
Do it all and you cover nine miles over a wonderful four hours. You'll burn about 1,500 calories. That ought to cover three spectacular meals at Café Pasqual's.
Stronger Monday: A minute for your hips
If you want to increase your leg strength before you start a jogging or running program, today's Hip Flexion is a great Way. It'll strengthen your hip flexors and your quadriceps. Before you ask them to go the extra mile on the treadmill or out on the street. No weight machine necessary. Just a featherweight resistance tube.
Cooler: Arethusa Falls and the Cliff
Cold water. Cool mist. Plenty of shade under the big maple, birch and beech trees that line the trail to the falls. The opposite of summer in the city. Click for a trip to New Hampshire's White Mountains.
Flexible Monday: Let’s Twist Again
Let's start the week loose. Comfortable. Flexible. Because flexible muscles make everything easier and less tiring. Today's Way'll relax and stretch your lower back and hips. Make them feel and function better.
Bighorn Peak. Big Sky. Big day.
Big hike. Bigger views. 360 degrees. 50 miles on a clear day. Tiny you in the middle of something vast. You may be a very small part of it all, but you're definitely part of it. And when you look around, that's awesome.
Balanced Monday: Stand for your thighs
A 2-minute exercise to strengthen the muscles you use to stay on your feet. And to strengthen and tone your outer thighs, too. Your abductor muscles. Mission-critical muscles for your next beach vacation. Especially if you step barefoot onto hot sand and start hopping around on one foot.
Easy Does It. The Walk to Ousel Falls.
The kindest, gentlest hike to a spectacularly scenic destination in Montana. In Big Sky, this is a wonderfully scenic walk on a wide, smooth path. Gentle switchbacks lead you to this beautiful waterfall on the Gallatin River. Less than an hour and two miles roundtrip. Breathe easy.
Moving Monday: A Quick Dip
Time for a 1-minute exercise you can do at home or at work. One example of something you should do once every hour or two. C'mon. Flex those shoulder and triceps muscles. This one 'll have you on the edge of your chair. Press Play to see the Way.
All glad. No SAD. Get out more. Outdoors
What a deal. Sunlight's free and you don't even have to strap a solar panel to your back to use it. Just take off your shirt. Or your pants. Because your skin synthesizes Vitamin D when it's exposed to sunlight and - get this - you're probably Vitamin D-deficient.
Beehive Basin: Stripes and flowers
Huge, rugged, striped mountains. Endless fields of wildflowers. The Spanish Peaks and Beehive Basin. Just outside Big Sky, Montana. Seven spectacular miles out and back. One of the best-looking, free half-day hikes you can find.
