Beach Walk 721R – Green Exercise

December 18, 2008 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , |

This episode is on the added mental health benefits of exercising outdoors, in the beauty of nature. I can attest to its success! And so can Dave Murr, who wrote about Nature, the Best Natural Antidepressant.

Hawaiian Word:
Hoʻo Ikaika Kino; exercise (to make a strong body)

Note from Roxanne: Regular viewers know I have been offline most of December, helping my Mom and Dad who are facing my Dad’s likely final stages with cancer. I am getting some energy and time opening up, but the weather here has been rainy so we are going to share some earlier episodes with you until I get back on my feet. Thanks for your patience and remember, we do this completely free for nearly three years. Much as I love you, our viewers, and Beach Walks, we’ve just run out of extra time for a little while.

I have mentioned Twitter before – there are these odd little quirks that occur because of it. One of them is that I get little sparkles of energy when I see my friends returning from exercise. It somehow inspires me. So today is big shout out to:
Ian Kitajima
Neenze Faleafine
Sprite

The site mentioned: One Hundred Pushups

Hawaiian word:

Beach Walk 657 – Running Stretches

July 7, 2008 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

A new acquaintance of mine on Twitter, Cheryl Smith, is working on a running program and was looking for some Achilles Heel stretches, and I offered to show her some of my favorites on a Beach Walks episode. Thanks to @ChrisBrogan for connecting Cheryl and me.

Knowing me as you do, I thought starting off a Monday with some s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g would be good for most of us! The first two are simple with a bonus yoga stretch at the end. Remember to stretch your upper and lower calves, with a straight leg and a bent leg.

Hawaiian word:
Kīkoʻo: stretch

Beach Walk 548 – Exercise: More or Less Energy?

December 13, 2007 | Tags: , , , , , , , |

We took straight to the water because I am really in an exercise deficit these days.

It has fallen off my calendar as I’ve been busier and busier this year. I’ve become really aware of how much it actually supports me. At the same time, I also realize that not everyone is like me. I am learning not to impose my preferences on others, though I do drag Shane and Lexi along as much as possible.

Hawaiian Word:
Ikehu: energy
