Extending hours for bars and restaurant nixed (for now)

Posted on June 30, 2014 | 1 comment

drink, cocktail, boston, bar, nightlifeThe Boston Globe reported today that proponents for allowing bars and restaurants to stay open later was dealt a setback today when the provision that would have allowed establishments to stay open until 4:00 AM was not included in the State’s budget.

Although the Mayor voiced support for the provision the Globe said the Mayor “did not strenuously lobby House lawmakers to agree” and without that support it appears local lawmakers who opposed the measure won the day. I do hope this is brought up again because I do believe later hours in parts of the city make a tremendous amount of sense and would add to the quality of life in Boston. You can read the Boston Globe article here.

Realm health and fitness tips from Kyle

Posted on June 30, 2014 | Leave a comment

Real health and fitness from KyleEssential lift of the week: Barbell front squat

The barbell front squat serves as one of the best exercise to train and challenge your core strength, while simultaneously building up your glute and quads.

The barbell front squat works the following muscles: Glute, Hamstrings, Quads, Lats/rhomboids, Anterior shoulder and Core.  Key points to remember:

Keep your core braced
Keep your knees out (not forward or bowing in)
Feet flat
Elbows up
Chest up

 

While performing this or any other movement always listen to your body and do not work through pain. Seek the help of a local personal trainer or do more research and practice with  friend. It’s always helpful to have someone watching you and “seeing” faults that you might not be able to feel.

Kyle at Realm FitnessKyle is a nationally certified personal trainer, certified nutritionist, and lifestyle motivator out of Los Angeles, CA. He has been training for 5 years and has experience working with top-tier celebrity and executive clientele. When he’s not in the gym, Kyle is reading philosophy or writing poetry.

Men’s sports uniforms ranked

Posted on June 30, 2014 | Leave a comment

mens best sports uniformsLast week the website, Jezebel, had an article that was brought to my attention called Men’s sports uniforms ranked.

Perhaps the author wrote it best,  “The World Cup has presented us with lots of excuses to gaze upon Thighlights, but are soccer uniforms really the most awesome uniforms in the sporting world?”

Check out Dodai’s compilation of the best men’s sports uniforms here.

The successful pop duo, Karmin, met and got their start here in Boston when they were attending Berklee School of Music. While here they created a host of “Karmin Covers”.  I love their cover of 80s duo Go West King of Wishful Thinking.
