DIA Blog 019 - Living Life With Rocks In Your Shoes by H8R

Image
by H8R You know that feeling right? You're moving along through your day, walking down the road or getting in some exercise. Then, BOOM ! It hits you. That sharp, nagging pain of a rock deeply embedded in your shoe right between the insole and the delicate parts of your foot. It's the worst! So, what do you do? Some would stop everything immediately and get that sucker out of there. Others power through and take it out when it's convenient. Which is the right way to go? This thought came to me as I was getting in my jump rope workout at the park. A nice, big rock got in my shoe while I was jumping rope. Stopping to take it out right then would break a pretty nice streak I had going and disrupt my workout. I decided it was best to finish up my workout and then dump those rocks out when I got home ( gaman much?). In my case, the rocks in my shoe were actually rocks in my shoe. But having a lot of tiny annoyances in your life can be just like having ...

DIA Blog 016 - Get Fit Without The Gym! Why Expats NEED To Work Out And How To Find The Right Plan For You by H8R

Image
by H8R Expat life can be pretty demanding. You've decided to leave your hometown, friends, family, and the comforts of home behind. Many expats find themselves in an unfamiliar (and sometimes unwelcoming) environment with a host of challenges to face and obstacles to overcome. Take into account that you've also ditched your support system and those expat blues can start to sink in PDQ (pretty damned quick). As people become depressed, they often find comfort in food. If you start to adopt a sedentary lifestyle and put on some extra pounds, this can compound the effects of that expat despair and lead you to a dark, dark place. So what can you do about this? When life gets you down, it's best to get moving! Exercise has been shown to provide many benefits for your physical and mental health including a better mood and sustained energy throughout the day. If you can consistently stick to a fitness plan, you'll find that other parts of your life start to ...
