Friday Features


Spring is here!  Well, almost.  Now that the sun is shining and it's (maybe?) getting warmer, I dare you to go outside Get some sunshine!  Make yourself some vitamin D!  Have fun!

I've got a LOT coming up on the blog for this spring/summer, and although I'm SO eager to share with you some new dares I've taken on, I want to make sure I do 'em right and gather sufficient information for you first.  Sooo... For now, there's TONS of interesting stuff, as always, to learn from on other websites.  The last "features" post was a bit nutrition-heavy, so this one will be more diverse.  Enjoy!


-----

Speaking of going outside, taking your routine outside could benefit your workout!
The New York Times "Well" blog describes studies suggesting that getting outdoors
could help "reluctant or inconsistent exercisers."

-----

One way to take your elliptical/biking workout outdoors is with a Street Rider!
MizFit demonstrates the learning curve required to use a Street Strider.  
Her short video is an amusing display of persistence leading to success! 

-----

Did you know that research has found links between religion and health,
both in mental and physical well-being?


-----

Confused about CrossFit?  Lindsay at the  Lean Green Bean Blog breaks it down for you.

-----

So you've heard of, and maybe even tried, hot yoga, but did you know there's
such a thing as COLD yoga?  The Greatist team recaps its experience.

-----

The SocialPace Blog tells you how to warm up for any workout.

-----

reminding us that many supposedly "healthy" companies are actually in cahoots
with Monsanto, GMO producer.

-----

There is an outrageous sale going on at Paleo Plan
where 30 different books, meal plans, magazine subscriptions, and discount codes, 
worth almost $400, are being sold for a mere $39.  
Ridiculous?  Yes.  
You'd better take advantage of the Primal Life Kit deal, 
before it ends on Tuesday, April 9!

-----

A reminder that it's not too late to join the DIY Health 30-day challenge, hosted by Greatist on Social Workout.  Join HERE!!

There's also a cool two-week challenge hosted by Amber, Jill, and Mari, to help you #SpringToHealth!  They've got a different fun task each day, reminiscent of last fall's October Photo-A-Day Challenge, and if you document your accomplishments, you'll be entered to win some great prizes!  Learn more here.
