How to Deep Drop for Barrel Fish - A Rare ...

The Florida Everglades make up one of the most well-known and treasured American National Parks. They are also being “strangled” by water issues.

Outstanding workout with only a pull-up bar

With only a pullup bar, I can do one of the best workouts that I have ever done.  Even with a gym full of equipment, we still often just do this super simple workout.  If I am truly relegated to the hotel gym for safety reasons (like in Africa) I can complete this workout with a pullup bar and a treadmill which most gyms have.

Simple Run And Pushup Workout For Travelers

Simply run 3 miles and at any time, anywhere at your discretion, complete 300 pushups.  These can be done before, after or during.  Lots of times, I have completed 50 right at the starting line and then run for a while and periodically hit another 50.  Traffic lights or intersections are great opportunities to drop and do 50.
