Indian Rocks Beach is back

Blog and Updates, Curtis Matthews, Pictures, ,

We haven’t been to Indian Rocks Beach and almost a year since the Hurricanes last year it has been demolished and some of our favorite spots are gone but we returned this past weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how great the beach was.

The family

I went with my wife, her sister, and her two kids, so we had a pretty big group, and we carried all of our beach supplies so we can be very comfortable on the sand.

The water was a little ruff

The water was a little rough and a little cloudy but we still had lots of fun in the water. It wasn’t too cold but it could have been a little bit warmer.

Full Body Fitness: A 57-Year-Old’s Take

Curtis Matthews, Fitness and Health, , , , , , , , , ,

Who says you need to split your workout routine?
At 57, I’ve found that a full-body workout is the ultimate efficiency hack. Instead of isolating muscle groups on different days, I’ve discovered that working my entire body in one session delivers a more comprehensive and effective workout.
Here’s why I’m a full-body convert:
* Time Efficiency: Less time in the gym, more time for life.
* Metabolic Boost: Targeting all muscle groups ignites your metabolism, leading to increased calorie burn.
* Functional Fitness: Real life isn’t about isolating muscles; it’s about coordinated movement. Full-body workouts mimic everyday activities better.
* Balanced Development: Preventing imbalances and ensuring overall strength and flexibility.
Of course, everyone’s fitness journey is unique. But if you’re looking to maximize your time and results, consider giving full-body workouts a try. Your body will thank you!
