How to Keep Blisters Away
If you want to be kind to your feet, choose your athletic socks carefully. Fitness experts recommend staying away from 100 percent cotton socks when exercising. They
can become soggy after absorbing sweat, increasing your risk for developing blisters.
Instead, consider using socks with synthetic materials (such as nylon or acrylic).
These materials will reduce moisture, help keep your feet dry, and diminish your risk for blisters. Back when I was running over 125 miles a week, on long training days
that's over 12 miles up to 22 miles. I needed to put petroleum Jelly on my toes.
Hey, this works,it feels kind of strange at first, but after a few miles in the summer heat you'll be glad you did.

Kale Soup...Italian Health Food?
Hale to the Kale!
Did you know that kale, a variety of cabbage, is low in calories, and high in antioxidants, vitamin A and vitamin C? It's also very low in sodium. Kale can be consumed in soups, salads, with other greens, or by itself as a side dish or garnish. If kale doesn't interest you, consider trying other dark leafy greens, such as spinach or romaine lettuce. The first time I had Kale it was at this little Italian cafe'
near my home town. A great bowl of soup, all you could eat. I love Italian bread and with that and the soup that's a complete meal.

Use Golf in Your Weekly Workouts
Your Next Golfing Workout
By walking and carrying your clubs, you can make golf into a decent calorie-burning activity. Here's a rough example for a 190-pound man and a 135-pound woman. They carry clubs and play for 4 hours per week.
The man will burn about an extra 170 calories per hour and the woman roughly 120 extra calories per hour. Keeping their diet the same, this could eventually lead to weight loss. If you get to play more you can do the math yourself. You'll start to notice a more toned Leg's and Bum. If you play the early rounds to avoid the heat of summer you won't need that golf cart. Now your saving money, too.
