Please be-aware when turning into our driveway from Post Road. It shifts almost weekly during the construction going on behind our office. . Thank you for your patience.

Summer Core building Activity #6

Yoga, Pilates & Slacklining
Outdoor yoga or Pilates sessions activate deep core muscles, improve balance, and combine strength with mindfulness. Slacklining adds an extra layer—balancing on a strap strengthens abs and lower back like nothing else.

Summer Core Building Activity #5

Outdoor Calisthenics & Street Workouts
Take your bodyweight exercises outdoors—think planks (static and dynamic), bear crawls, L-sits, alternating side planks, salute planks, and super planks. These moves are perfect for building core stability, strength, and coordination.

Video of dynamic planks of various degrees of difficulty.

Summer Core Building Activity #4

Swimming & Pool Workouts
Swimming challenges your entire core with every stroke and turn—plus there’s no impact on joints. Try water jogs, flutter kicks, floating V-sits, and tuck jumps for added resistance and toning power.

Summer Core Building Activity

#3 Kayaking or Canoeing
Paddling through water with proper technique turns on both your arms and core muscles as you maintain form and balance—this is a fun adventure and strength-builder rolled into one. Because you are sitting, your legs are relatively inactive in generating power through the stroke. Instead, power is generated from your core.

#2. Beach Volleyball
Craving excitement? Sand adds resistance and instability to every dive, jump, and quick lateral move—your core will be working overtime to keep you stable and agile.

Summer Core Building Activities
1. Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)
Glide across your local lake, pond, or coastal waters—keeping your balance on that board activates your abs, obliques, and stabilizer muscles with every stroke, all while giving you a full-body challenge in gentle, low-impact form. There are also SUP Yoga classes locally in Wickford. I love paddleboarding, it's fun, peaceful, and you get to so see some skinny water that is not accessible by boat. I love the exploration into waterways. You often see lots of wildlife because you can sneak up quietly.

Things are looking a little different at the office as the development behind my office has suddenly started. Access up the driveway may be impacted to some degree, creating some minor inconveniences. We thank you for your patience as the construction takes place.

Conventional wisdom suggests that our health declines with age... or does it?

New science suggests there's plenty that actually gets better with age—if you let it.

Disappointed to have missed the fireworks last night. Had planned to go out in the boat with family and friends......Mother Nature seems to have had her own fireworks last night.
