Realm health and fitness tips with Kyle

Realm Health Fitness tips KyleIt has been proven that posture not only plays a large role in how we are perceived by others, but how we perceive ourselves. Stretching and exercise can help your posture; we all tend to slump, making our shoulders roll forward, bellies stick out, and lower backs sore.

Here is a sample back and chest routine that can help with posture. By “pulling” more than “pushing” your back will get tighter and your chest will loosen up and actually seem bigger. Try it for a couple 4-6 weeks and see how you feel!

Pre and post workout be sure to stretch your pecs, anterior delt and traps.  This will help relax the muscles and utilize them more efficiently. Hold each position for :45-1:30.

Bounce public art at BCA Plaza

Liz NofzigerDespite all the gentrification in the South End, I love that a strong arts community remains.  I firmly believe that the soul of the South End is tied to the fate of the artists who live and or work in this neighborhood. Their personality is still present despite the million dollar condos that seem to be for sale everywhere.

A great example of this is the current public art display in the BCA Plaza by Liz Nofziger entitled Bounce. BCA resident artist, Nofziger, has installed three conjoined ping-pong tables that are custom engineered to form an over sized ‘communal’ ping pong court. The public is encouraged to play – paddles and balls are available to all.

Boston food truck schedule

Boston SoWa Food TrucksFood trucks in Boston are certainly popular, but remembering their schedules can be tough.  The city of Boston has set up a website that tells you where every registered food truck is each day of the week, and it allows you to search by food truck, neighborhood and or date.

Remember this Carly Rae Jepson 2012 hit? The catchy pop tune spawned a host of video covers.  My favorite was this version by the Harvard University baseball team.

Single Ladies

I’ll be the first to admit I love Beyonce, but her lyrics are ridiculous. Little BoBo (actress Nina Millin) on YouTube has created a series of posts called The Beyoncelogues where she offers dramatic readings of Beyonce’s redick lyrics. The result is hilarious.  Enjoy.

Furry Friday

Hairy chest, hunk

This week’s Furry Friday is for all you guys who keep telling me the men are not hairy enough. Aside from his questionable wardrobe I think he’s a keeper. What do you think?
