Marlene La Fleur?s equine epiphany struck in 1963, when an American Saddlebred steed named Mr. Sandman motivated her to open a stable and breed her own army of championship horses. Since then, Marlene and her husband?s stable has grown by leaps and bounds, with the rein-tuggers moving into an ultramodern barn and training facility in 2001 that allowed them to expand their English-style riding lessons. Placing an emphasis on horsemanship and equitation, Marlene?s daughter Neva leads hands-on lessons that cycle through proper grooming, tacking, and riding techniques catered to each student?s individual skill set. Pintsized riders may also celebrate birthdays or visits from John Wayne?s ghost during group parties replete with barn tours, breezy trots, and a party room that boasts a full kitchen. The stable?s stylish and well-mannered steeds kick up their hooves in spacious 144-square-foot stalls, which are built from southern yellow pine and equipped with individual windows overlooking the grounds? picturesque rolling hills.
Snap Fitness's easyFIT monitor is a small, clip-on accelerometer that helps keep track of daily exercise. Unlike pedometers that merely measure steps and spy on daydreams, the easyFIT monitor senses the intensity and duration of physical activity, transmogrifying those stats into simple, numerical points that help assess activity levels from sedentary to peak performance. In addition to tracking exercise in real time, easyFIT monitors can connect to the wearer's personal web portal to upload data and create fitness graphs that help show progress, snag exercise suggestions, and stave off the temptation of living next to a hamburger farm. Watch a video about the easyFit here.
Black Forest blossomed from its beginnings as a traditional stable and training facility to a center for equine-assisted learning and healing. Though plenty of guests still visit the picturesque farm for riding lessons, visitors also come to connect with a host of friendly farm animals. That's because the facility gives people the unique chance to feed treats to horses, walk among stunning peacocks, and discuss their favorite books with goats whether you're child or an adult. But perhaps the stables' biggest source of pride is its outreach in the wider community, contributing to programs such as the I Am Magic Foundation for children and with veterans' groups.
Anytime Fitness, which boasts more than 1,800 clubs in North America, makes it easier for average folks to etch out time for exercise by doing one simple thing: staying open 24 hours a day for 365 days a year. As fitness seekers challenge themselves on cardio and Hammer Strength machines and hoist Iron Grip free weights in clean, well-stocked facilities, security monitoring ensures they?re safe and producing enough sweat to meet official government standards. Members can also ramp up their exercise regimens with the help of Anytime Fitness?s staff of personal trainers, who demonstrate moves and sling motivating tips. After workouts, guests can shower in the private restrooms or hop into one of the tanning booths available 24 hours a day.
