Want to go camping? Not sure where? Recreation.gov can help!

If you love the outdoors, camping can be a dream vacation. However, figuring out where to camp can sometimes be an issue. Recreation.gov may be just what you need because it lets you

• search for campsites by location, type (tent, cabin, RV, etc.), and preferred dates,
• identify recreation areas based on desired activities like boating, horseback riding, hiking, and climbing,
• find nearby locations for activities like swimming, bicycling, fishing, or other favorites,
• purchase passes for National Parks and Federal Recreation Lands,
• make reservations (if needed), and
• locate more useful information for planning your camping trip.

Tips:
~ Before leaving on your trip, be sure to familiarize yourself with the fees and regulations of the campsite(s) you've chosen.
~ Learn more using USA.gov Recreational Activities: Camping resources.

Happy camping!

Get off that couch!

We are in the middle of Spring Break! Swimming suits! Shorts! Fun in the sun! Well... not so much; it is cold and windy. HOWEVER, what with daffodils and an absolutely stellar Sunday, it is clear that summer is around the corner.

Check out Ace Fitness and find exercises to get you suit-ready. They have exercises that target certain areas, workouts (including no-equipment-required, so drop that excuse), recipes, and more.

There is also growing evidence that exercise enhances academic performance, so what ARE you waiting for?

Down on the floor! Gimme five pushups!

How well do you...?

Lately, my Facebook friends are particularly into How Well Do You... quizzies. So, here is mine for you, my Blogger Buddies:
How Well do you do on How Fit Are You???

Actually, it is a tiny piece of another site, Exercise and Physical Fitness, a service of NLM and NIH. And they toss the gauntlet with this: There are 1,440 minutes in every day. Schedule 30 of them for physical activity! Ow!

I have been sitting in the library, working sin cesar at the computer ALL DAY, and still have two more hours. I retreated to my office for a little Yoga Trance Dance with Shiva Rea. Maybe I should lead everyone out of here with a trance dance conga line. I bet we could all concentrate better afterwards!

How well do you....?
