Make outside exercise your lifestyle

By -

Quit your gym membership today, and make your daily life a workout. These are a few fun ways to get exercise on your way to school or work.

When I lived in Bahamas for two years, every morning I made the twelve mile roundtrip commute to school and back. So when finding a ride to school became tough I started biking the trip to school everyday. At first it was hard I was always sore from pedaling so many miles. But as I got more used to biking every day I began to really appreciate the vital exercise I was getting every morning on the way to school. I also noticed after I had been biking the rout every day for a few months it started getting easier for me. The trip used to take me half an hour when I was just starting out. but as time wore on I could bike to school in twenty minutes. 

Biking to school in Eleuthera Bahamas deep creek middle school


I realized that I no longer wanted to drive to school. I had a great routine. I would wake up at six thirty Am. my mom would make me breakfast, and then I would pack lunch. At about seven o'clock I would grab my bike from the bike rack and start biking the six miles to school. Sometimes my dad would bike with me. But usually I rode alone. I arrived at school at seven thirty to give me time to talk to my friends before school started. 

When I was done with school for the day at four o’clock I hit the rode back home. The street I rode my bike on to get to school was called queens highway. but there was never much traffic on queens highway sometimes I could bike the whole way to school without seeing a car. 

I always enjoyed biking home in the afternoon because I had time to stop a Joseph’s farm. Joseph was my friend from Haiti who always appreciated it  when I stoped to help at the farm on my way home. In exchange for helping at the farm Joseph always gave me some tomato’s or corn as a healthy after school snack. 

When I got home from my bike ride I felt great. Because the bike ride gave me exercise I could get from driving to school. And that’s why I think that you should start biking or walking your commute from work or school. Because biking is a great way to get exercise and time outdoors. I also find biking really fun. Biking is a great Way to stay healthy and active plus get to work or school.

We meet again in Hueco Tanks

We Meet Again at Hueco Tanks                            by            Kai Stanton Holloway  I'm back," I whispered to the boulders staring down at me. Hueco Tanks has overhangs, face, and slab climbs--everything you would expect in bouldering heaven and, in my opinion, the best v2 ever.     As soon as we pulled into our campsite my brother and I couldn’t wait to get to the mountain and we both had one route in our mind. My dad, brother and I hiked up North Mountain treading on the same trail as three years before. Everything was how I remembered it. I walked past all the routes I had climbed when I was eleven. Could I still climb them now that I was fourteen?     I walked past a pile of crash pads and there in front of me was Nobody Gets Out Alive in my opinion the best v2 of all time. We’re here, my dad told us. I unclipped my climbing shoes from my backpack and looked at the overhanging climb. Its chalked face looked back at me as if daring me to try and climb her.     I sto

  Two Eye Catching MultiPitch Climbs in Potrero Chico                                     By Kai Holloway  I looked down at the Potrero Chico Valley, and across at the stunning limestone cliffs that make up the climbing paradise of Mexico. We were at the summit of Super Nova, a classic eight pitch 5.11, water fall like rock feature. I couldn’t believe we had actually made it to the Yosemite of Mexico. This January my family of five began our climbing adventure starting in Maine, and traveling south towards the Shawangunks, and Potrero Chico. Throughout our trip south in our skoolie (converted school bus that we call BaseCamp) I had been dreaming of climbing and hiking in Potrero Chico because of its unique concentration of world class multi and single pitch sport routes. It was everything I hoped for, and a few pitches more! These are my two favorite climbs in Potrero Chico. Super Nova: My favorite route we did during our time in Potrero Chico was Super Nova, an amazing eight pitch 5.1

  Winning the Elizabethtown Mother's Day 5K By Kai Holloway Sprinting for the finish line. (Photo taken by my grandmother Lovey) It was three o'clock, and my grandfather, whom we call Pop Pop, had signed up our whole family for the Mother's Day 5K race. My two little brothers, Zev (8) and Cove (12), my mom, dad, and I (15) were all going to be running. It was 2:55 p.m. We all had our bibs and race shirts on. We were gathered around a big oak tree, stretching, and my grandmother, whom we call Lovey, took a pre-race photo. Pre race family photo Soon afterward, all the runners were called over to the starting line to start the race at 3:00 p.m. The race director talked for a little while, and then said over his loudspeaker, "Now, let's take a moment of silence... for all the mothers out there." It was an interesting way to start a race. I stood there about two rows in from the start line, my heart poundin
