Over the years, I’ve watch these boys play baseball, soccer basketball and most recently scootering. With their general love for sports, I knew they would have no problem learning to Stand Up Paddle Board also known as SUPing.
The boys showed great balance and resistance as they used their upper body to paddle across the water. They were fearless as they steered their way out toward the big blue ocean, to ride the waves. The boys agreed, “It was really fun and different” They loved gliding across the water.
Neil Pearlberg is a Santa Cruz guide who led the group of boys on the outdoor adventure. If you are looking for something different and are interested in a SUP paddle birthday party, family outing or just a day on the water with a group of friends, give Neil and his dog Rusty a call; 831-818-7225 or check out his website at http://supclass.com/

If you are active and always on the go, Healthy Snacking is a great way to fill in the blanks between breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fruits and vegetables are always the smartest snacks: apple, orange, pear, cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, carrots, celery and sliced bell peppers. Keep in mind, if snacking is done right, it can maintain blood sugar levels and boost your metabolism. Try having these snacks on hand. They pack 100-200 calories with protein, carbohydrates and provide an excellent source of nutrients.

Running is a good way to improve your health & wellbeing. It will provide muscle toning and the perfect cardio exercise. If you are looking to improve your fitness, running can give you both physical and emotional health. For me, running is a chance to get outside and meet cool people. Even running in the rain can be a fun experience. A good running shoe will prevent damage to knees, ankles, hips and joints. Resist the temptation to buy a certain brand or style just because you like the color. In general, the right size running shoe is a half to a full size larger than your everyday shoes. Your feet will expand when running, both short or long distances. I encourage you to try some different running shoes or even consider a trail running shoe. promise yourself to buy what fits your feet. Many stores provide gait analysis and proper shoe fitting specifically for your foot. Don’t forget the socks. It is worth the money to invest in a good quality moisture-wicking pair of socks. Believe it or not most will last a few years depending on how much you wear them.
It won't be long before you are fit and have experienced a runner’s high.
