July 24, 2014 2:32 pm

When the weather gets a bit warmer and you want to move your workout outdoors, hiking is a wonderful way to stay active and spend some time in nature. Here are two great hiking apps that will help you to plan a hike and stay safe once you’re on the trail.

AllTrails
With a database full of hiking and biking trails all across the country, AllTrails is a wonderful resource for anyone looking for new places to hike. Detailed maps offer pinpoints marking each of the trails or parks in a given area, and clicking on a point pulls up a full list of information about that trail. AllTrails shows the distance, elevation, and difficulty level of a trail, and it provides reviews written by fellow hikers just like you.

Simply Hike
Stay safe and prepared on any hiking trip with Simply Hike’s expansive selection of hiking and camping equipment. Browse items like backpacks, clothing, and tents made especially for hiking, or search by your favorite brands, like the North Face and Berghaus, to find products that you’ll love. Simply Hike’s helpful customer service representatives will even help you to choose the perfect equipment for your needs.

July 17, 2014 2:35 pm

The Yoga Room wants to dispel the idea that yoga is only for skinny, athletic types who can twist themselves into impossible pretzel shapes. This welcoming yoga studio in Round Rock welcomes all body types, all ages, and all levels of ability, so don’t be shy about joining the many people who enhance their well being with this age-old practice.

What are the benefits of yoga? Increased flexibility, more mental clarity, increased core and muscle strength, better circulation and lowered stress, to name a few. Trained yoga instructors lead each class with compassion and care to ensure everyone practices in a safe, supportive environment. Hour-long classes include Hatha, Raja Yoga, Power Core, Restorative, Gentle Yoga, and Prenatal.
