My son has been driving me crazy to take him and his friend’s paintballing for the longest time. For the last couple of months I had been dodging the proverbial “paintball” by offering up other exciting activities, like tickets to a NY Knicks game or ATVing.
Unfortunately, I ran out of excuses when he was invited to a Paintball Party by my good friend’s son. What made matters worse is that I was volunteered to chaperone along with a couple of other dads.
When we arrived at the facility, the staff split us up into three teams and each parent was assigned a platoon of kids to lead. For my son’s sake, I didn’t want to show my reluctance so I put on my best ‘Rambo’ face and headed out into the trenches.
If you haven’t started already, you have to get to working out. I know, I know; it’s rough getting back into the routine. After all, we’ve all been hibernating since early November. That’s five straight months of sleeping in, slothing around, and eating more than our fair share of indulgent foods.
It’s ok, though, with some dedication and determination, we can turn our doughy exteriors and harden them up. Well, with those things and some help from the pros over at AFG Fitness. There you can find all the cardio equipment to help you get into the shape you want for summertime.
Personally, I like cardio more than I like weight lifting. It doesn’t bulk up your muscles, but it cuts your fat and tones everything, not to mention brings up your endurance like crazy. If you couple that with some lifting here and there, you’ll be in prime conditioned in no time.

Have you looked outside lately?! I know I posted about how nice it’s been in those garden blogs I did last week, but now it’s getting serious. It’s getting to the 70′s this week; it doesn’t get much better than that.
There hasn’t even been a real winter yet, and we’re already getting spring! At least in NY, I hope it’s been just as nice wherever you spent your weekend. So shut down your computer and head outside – once you’re done shopping with Couponology, of course.
The last purchase you make before you should embrace the wild outdoors is Eastbay. Don’t forget about the Deal of the Week when you make your purchase, because it will save you $15 to $20. Your discount will depend on how much you spend: orders of $75 will get $15 off, and orders of $120 will get $20 off.
