6 Tips When Hiking With Teenagers

HAVE ENOUGH TO DRINK

Normally when you go on a day hike you will take about 2 liter of water and a 500 ml Powerrade or energy drink per person. Teenagers need a lot more than that – at least 5 liters of water and a 500 ml powerrade or energy drink frozen. I let them carry their own food and drinks but I always have an extra frozen powerrade in my bag. Rather have too much than too little. I also leave an extra powerrade/energy drink in the car frozen with ice so when we finished our hike we have cold energy to drink.

HAVE SNACKS

Teenagers in my experience don’t eat as much as smaller kids on the hikes. That is why I make sure they have enough snacks. I normally pack at least one bar-one, two energy bars, one packet of nuts & raisins, 1 packet of biltong/droë wors and one banana as well as one orange/naarjie.

WATERPROOF CELLPHONE OR CAMERA

You can put the cellphone in a waterproof bag that will give you peace of mind – that the phone will not be scratched or will not get wet. The teenagers can then take the beautiful action packed photos. You can also use a waterproof camera or put the camera in a waterproof bag.

DISCUSS THE MAP

Discuss the map beforehand so that they will know what the route looks like. My teenagers like to run ahead not only to see all the breathtaking sites first but also to see where they will have to assist their mother… Make sure they not ahead more than 20 minutes and discuss with them where they will wait for you. There they can take a break, take some photos and eat a snack.

EMERGENCY NUMBERS

Make sure they know the emergency numbers and what to do should there be an emergency.

Remember you can rather have not enough food than not enough water. Take extra water and make sure you stay hydrated. Always take a rain jacket and have a fully charged cellphone as well as informing people that you are going on a hike.

I am part of a whatsapp group here in Cape Town where they track you for more information click on Safetymountain.

Let the adventure begins and remember to have some fun!

Cognizin is a proprietary form of citicoline:

That is clinically studied to support mental energy, focus and attention.

Cognizin is a Choline base supplement, Choline is a vitamin-like essential nutrient that plays a critical role in brain development, muscle movement, metabolism, liver function, and nervous system function. Choline is found in several foods common to the diet including eggs, beef, salmon, liver and Brussels sprouts. Due to the importance of choline plays in development of the bran and nervous system, it’s one of the many nutrients supplied in a mother’s breast milk.

In Japan Citicoline was developed for treating strokes and in several European countries it is prescribed as a treatment for addressing circulation issues in the brain linked to thinking problems.

Cognizin can provide the brain with everything that is needed to function optimally. It is a patented form of citicoline that is vegetarian and allergen-free.

RUGBY WORLD CUP 2019

The Springbok’s world cup rugby started with a friendly against Japan where we did what we had to. The official first game was against the All Blacks and although we dominated and played most of the time in their half we were unable to capitalize on territory and we lost. The game against Namibia although winning with a high score was not really executed with precision which you would expect from a Springbok team. We did dominate the scrums and the forwards played very well but the rest of the team made little mistakes. Not all penalties were successful which included kicking for goal and for territory.

The fourth of October we are playing Italy, a team that is excellent in scrums, rugs and malls and their defense have been good lately. This is a crunch game for the Springboks and we must win. South Africa and Italy have met on 14 occasions were Italy has only win once.

Fun Fact of Japan World Rugby Cup 2019.

“No tattoos allowed” in the RWC!

Tattoos in Japan is connected to gangsterism it is associated with the Yakuza, the fierce local mafia. Rugby teams are willing to respect Japanese tradition and the players will be covering up.

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!

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?
