Tranquility in 30 minutes: A quick forest hike at Eno River State Park

October 29, 2017 By Michelle Rogers

Eno River State Park - Michelle Rogers Healthy Living

The Japanese have a term, Shinrin-yoku, that means “forest bathing” — a visit to the forest for relaxation, a chance to stroll through nature and take in the atmosphere for one’s well-being.

We didn't have much time, because he had an Continue Reading

The best fitness trackers of 2017

March 3, 2017 By Michelle Rogers

Review: TomTom Spark 3 Cardio + Music Player

Fitness trackers have come a long way from the first-generation model of four years ago, which was little more than a glorified pedometer. In addition to features such as heart rate monitoring and GPS, many of today's activity trackers also let you sync with other devices such as smart bathroom scales, and apps like MyFitnessPal. They can even share data remotely with your personal trainer Continue Reading

Review: Audio equipment for fitness classes that rock

Note: This review was updated on Aug. 30, 2018 with links to a newer model of speaker and a portable power bank for the wireless headset receiver.
