Hawaii Resorts: Your Escape
Jul 28th, 2009 by Lucy Katts

Have you had enough of the long, tiring hours at work? Would you like to kick back and take it easy? Do you want to leave the rat race and the hectic and monotonous city life behind? Would you like to thrill the entire family by taking them somewhere exotic for vacation?

If you said yes to any of the aforementioned questions, then you must be looking for that perfect holiday vacation, or you’ve already found it and are just looking for a trip that will fit your budget without compromising too much. Seventy percent of all Americans who go on a vacation go to a Hawaiian resort for these kinds of vacations.

If you desire your holiday vacation to be in a sleepy, peaceful and exotic location, then Hawaii is the place for you. Hawaii vacations are an experience that provides a lifetime of memories. To enjoy all these Pacific islands offer, you’ll need more than one visit. Whatever be your interest - hiking, nature photography, water sports, snorkeling - Hawaii is ideal.

The Hawaiian islands are diverse. Oahu is famous for Honolulu, Waikiki, Diamond Head, shopping and entertainment. If you’re looking for something more laid-back and restful, then the neighboring islands would be ideal. Choose from a Maui resort set on a stunning white sand beach but still convenient to great shopping and restaurants, a Kauai resort tucked away from it all and surrounded in a lush tropical setting that makes Kauai famous as the “Garden Island”, or a Big Island resort offering a traditional Hawaiian experience, rainforests, volcanoes, and the uniqueness of black sand beaches and Hawaiian Petroglyphs.

New Energy Found for My Workouts
Jul 28th, 2009 by Lucy Katts

I’m always looking for ways to maximize my workout. I’ve discovered what works for me time wise isn’t the most efficient body-wise. A mid afternoon workout is my best scheduled time but it is in the morning that my body co-operates the best.

I’ve analyzed my routine and found that short bursts of aerobic exercise between weights gives me maximum benefits as well as breaking up the “sameness” of it all.

The biggest obstacle that I have been working on is keeping my energy level up throughout the entire workout. After all, what is a workout if it’s not working out?

I’ve always had a healthy and hearty breakfast and followed fitness advice to drink plenty of fluids (16 – 20 oz) a couple of hours before my workout. However, I found that 30 minutes into the workout my energy level went way down. It wasn’t just tiredness either.

I even experimented with a little snack of fruit about 30 minutes before to keep my blood sugar levels up. This helped a little.

What has really made the difference is drinking a juice made from a green fruit called TAHITIAN NONI® Juice. I’ve read that marathon runners, surfing champions and professional athletes drink it for energy and for after competition recovery. There must be something to it.

I discovered it really does work! I followed the directions on the bottle, drinking 1 oz of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice first thing in the morning. But I found that if I drink another 1 oz about an hour before my workout it made a significant difference. If I workout every day of the week I will drink 2 oz in the morning on the heavier workout day and then 1 oz the next day (my lighter workout day). The 2 oz does give me a quicker recovery time. My muscles aren’t as sore and I don’t feel as spent.

All in all, I’m satisfied. Discovering the right time to workout (when possible), the best workout routine for me, the right type and amount of food to eat and drinking TAHITIAN NONI® Juice for energy and recovery has pushed me forward in results. I’m starting to reach the goals I once only dreamed about.
