BOO

It is that time of year, time for the pumpkins, Dracula, zombies, eating sour hands, watching scary movies and having lots of fun. YES, it is Halloween Time!

I love the idea of Halloween, the fun part and for this purpose I am not going to mention the other part… In South Africa, Halloween is not really something that is celebrated much, the “trick a treat” part anyway. Something that is greatly bemoaned on my kids’s side. So we try to have our own fun.

I am fortunate enough that Cape Town loves to celebrate Halloween and we try to do the Zombie walk each year. This Halloween event is in its eighth run this year and returning on the 28th of October. There are no age restrictions and even pets are allowed. The Zombie walk is an one hour stroll starting @ 18:00 at Madison Avenue in Cape Town’s city center. It is an alcohol free zone but there is an after-party should you which to celebrate (over 18 years). The Zombie Festival raises funds to support charities such as the Luck Lucy Foundation.

Cost: R100

The Full Moon Picnic at the Taalmonument in Paarl is also starting on 12 October 2019. The Taalmonument is located on a hill overlooking Paarl with the most beautiful views in the Western Cape. It was build in 1975 to celebrate the Afrikaans language.

You can bring your own picnic or pre-order one from the Volksmond Coffee Shop (R300 for two people; R400 with a basket).

Cost: R40 (adults); R10 (SA students); R5 (children); Free (children 0 – 6 years).

Let the Adventure Begins!

Find Your Shoe Mate

Finding hiking shoes can be an intimate experience. Hiking shoes should fit snugly everywhere, should be tight nowhere and offer room to wiggle your toes.

It depends why you need the shoes, on what sort of hike you are going? Will there be water, sand, mountains or will it be cold or hot? The elements and temperature plays a big role in selecting the right product and price.

You should know the length and width of your foot as well as what socks you are going to use.

There are Three Types of Adventure Shoes:

Walking
Hiking
Multi-Sport

I prefer a walking, hiking and Multi-sport shoe, a shoe that is stylish enough to go to the mall should I want to or to climb Lion’s Head.

The following considerations must be taken into account when buying Hiking shoes:

COMFORT & FIT

This is the most important consideration when choosing your footwear. The shoes must fit correctly it must be comfortable.

WEIGHT

This is very important, the weight carried on your feet take about 4-6 times more energy than weight carried on your back. Light weighted shoes help to prevent tired feet and muscle fatigue, that means less stumbling and avoiding knee and hip problems.

PRICE

You do get good quality shoes for not so expensive.

SIZING

Feet tends to swell over long days of trail, so it is import to buy footwear at least half a size larger than normal shoes. To balance this out your socks play a major role.

TRACTION

Traction is always very import, keeps you from slipping on the narrow ledge and on shifting gravel.

WATERPROOF

Hiking in wet boots, is terrible and definitely not part of our motto ‘to have fun’ Wet shoes can get very heavy and your feet are cold, soft and prone to blisters.

BREATH-ABILITY

Your feet will be sweating especially in warm weather so you need footwear that will breath. Breathable shoes are normally not waterproof but they tend to dry faster.

DURABILITY

Hiking shoes should last for about 1000 kilometers and Hiking boots for about 1600 kilometers.

SOLES

Hiking shoes and boots have more rigid soles so that it can last longer and feel firmer under the feet. However I prefer that the foot-bed must be cushioned and therefor use the memory foam.

ANKLE SUPPORT

There are a lot of people that is for ankle support again I think it depends on the hike and on your preference if you tend to have bad ankle control and you use high footwear and lace it tightly then yes buy the ankle support.

WALK-IN YOUR SHOES

This should be logical, you cannot go on a long hike with shoes you just bought, first test it out.

Hiking Footwear for Women:

Solomon X ULTRA 3 W

WEIGHT* 318 g | 11,2 oz (SIZE UK 5.5) • 365 g | 12,9 oz (SIZE UK 8.5)
UPPER synthetic • Textile • Women’s specific last • Protective heel cap • Protective rubber toe cap • Optimized

Hi-Tec ALTITUDE V ULTRA I WP

Hi-Tec WARRIOR W

Comfort is key when it comes to the Warrior W and the EVA mid-sole and removable EVA foot-bed keep your feet cushioned and comfortable for longer.

Merrel Women’s Moab 2 Waterproof

Vibram sole, Out-sole, Waterproof, Air Cushion Comfort, Protective rubber toe cap.

Hiking Shoes should be comfortable, stylish and fit your pocket.

Have some fun and go on an Adventure!

Need a Boost

Do you feel that it is that time of the year again? Tired to get up in the morning wishing you could snooze that alarm just one more time. Thinking about taking a benelyn day?

You need Boost!

Boost is the natural way vs energy drinks.

It’s healthy energy in a spray, easy to take and you can even use it when going on a hike.

Time to Get Hike Fit

Spring is in the Air and it is time to get Hike Fit. I have a 15 min a Day program for busy people that you can do at home.

A. WARM-UP:

I like to start my Warm-Up with Sally-Up, Sally-Down, this YouTube video is about squats you can use it but my warm-up includes planks as well. The Song starts with Green Sally Up then you lift up, Green Sally Down then you go down see the example of the ‘Up Down Plank’ below. When you get to the refrain Old Miss Lucy’s dead and gone
Left me here to weep and moan – you hold your position which should be the down position. The song is 3:45 min.

Please Stretch well before you start.

Lets start with Planks. Planks are used to set our Core however you should not hold a plank more than 30 seconds.

Up Down Plank – Do 5.

Bring Sally-Up you should stand on all fours and when Sally-go-down you should go to the position where you rest on your elbows.

2. Side Planks – Do 5.

You can start with the beginner side plank and work up to the advanced one.

3. Side Planks on the other side – Do 5.

4. Squats – Do 10.

5. Seated Russian Twists – Do 5.

Sit on the ground with your legs open. Use a dumbbell or anything that has some weight. Sit back make sure your back is straight and move the dumbbell from your left side to the middle to the right side. Start with your feet on the ground and later you can lift your feet up. Susi May has a nice example.

B. TABATA WORKOUT:

This video is a 7 min workout but a 10 min video as it has the count down. Do 30 seconds and then rest 10.

Start with Jumping Rope.
Wall sit.
Push ups, you can do the traditional or cross your legs and bend your knees to start with.
Crunches.
Step ups, I like to use my stepper for this exercise, start with small steps and then go to the chair.
Squats.
Dips.
Planks.
High Knees run in place.
Lunges.
Push ups with rotation.
Side Plank left.
Side Plank right.

Warm down: I like to do a few stretches again.

It is important to remember that in the beginning you won’t be able to do all the exercises but keep at it and soon you will be able to. These exercises not only get you fit but stretches your body that is needed for hiking.

Remember the best exercises for hiking however is HIKING!!!

Have some fun.

Need Additional Income?

The future starts now!

Design your own life.

Have the flexibility to do what you want.

Do you keep your options open for additional income?

If the answer is yes then you are in good company. There are a lot of people that earn while they sleep. We are trained from a very young age that you can only make money if you are smart, have a degree, become a doctor or lawyer, work hard.

I am sorry to tell you but that doesn’t guarantee that you are going to be rich or make a lot of money. There are only a few things in life that are guaranteed and money is not one of them.

Then how is it that there are people out there that make so much money? In March 2019 Forbes released its annual billionaires list in the world and yes Bill Gates is there and the richest man is Jeff Bezos idea behind Amazon and he owns The Washington Post and Blue Origin.

What is the difference between Mr Bezos day and yours?

Does he have more hours in the day?
Perhaps he has more time?

It is interesting to know that he started Amazon in 1994 out of his garage…

Jeff Bezos had 24 hours in one day and he had an idea, a plan to solve a problem and that made him millions.

Do you want to earn while you sleep?

How to Secure your Financial Future

There is an uncertainty all around us, not just touching our families or our jobs but rippling out to our towns, our country and even the world. People whispering behind closed doors hiding in everyday life giving just enough to not be noticed. Some are barely making ends meet, working long hours in jobs they hate to provide for their families. The bank inches away from knocking on the door. Loans piling up and consumers falling behind on their payments which lead to more debt and poverty. STATS SA reported that 49.2% of the adult population were living below the upper-band poverty line (UBPL). Adult females experienced higher levels of poverty than compared to male counterparts.

In the US alone every 8 seconds a new American is born adding to the population well above 325 million. Yet, despite being surrounded by millions of people, it can be remarkable easy to feel alone, hurt and sad when in a difficult situation. Especially if you have no money, little or no work and bills must be paid.

We all want to make money and have enough to provide for our families. We are taught from a young age that if we study hard and work hard that we will make enough to support our families. We will have enough time to spend with our families and do the things we always wanted. For some people that is only a dream but there are people out there that this is a reality. There are people out there with more assets than liabilities. Money in your pocket is an asset, money out of your pocket is a liability.

Building wealth is a difficult concept especially if you don’t have money to invest. That is why Cryptocurrency is here to stay.

In a new research by cryptocurrency exchange bitFlyer showed that people believe that cryptocurrency will still exist in the future. This is the age-old supply and demand concept for as long as we use crypto the demand will be there and the banks are already using blockchain technology. The banks are digital just like cryptocurrency, you can do anything online in fact your salary is paid into your bank account and from there debit orders are paid and when buying groceries at the store you just swipe your card.

With cryptocurrency you can secure your financial future, with only a small entry amount you can design your life. You can do the things you always wanted to do. You can spend the time with your family and friends at your own leisure. You can earn an extra income or earn all your income. You can be part of network family where you are not alone.

As an affiliated marketer my view of life changed. Success is a numbers game, how you spend your hours will define what you will achieve. Work smart and surround you with successful people to be their average.

NETWORK Marketing VS PYRAMID Scheme

Yes, there is a big difference between Network Marketing or MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) as it is called and a Pyramid Scheme.

Multi-level marketing is a business model which involves a pyramid structured network of people who sell a company’s products or services.

It is referring a friend to this awesome product that you have found or this service that you think can really help him or her.

You are accountable for your success! The money and time you put in will define how much you will earn.

It is the perfect business, where there is NO overheads. You don’t have to rent an office, you don’t have to pay salaries. You don’t have to provide a medical aid or maternity leave. You don’t have to store products.

A Pyramid Structure is when you get paid to get a new recruit and there is NO involvement of any product.

Successful Network Marketing modules include Tupperware, Avon, Herbalife to name but a few.

Networking is more about “cultivating” then it is about “hunting”. It is about cultivating relationships. True words by Dr. Ivan Misner, BNI.
