I know that many readers of this blog are outdoor exercisers — runners, bikers, and walkers.  If you’re like me, you worry about things from a safety perspective.  (Warning: morbid thoughts comin’ up.)  On the one hand, you want your ID on you in case you’re hit by a car or otherwise incapacitated — but on the other hand, if you’re attacked, the last thing you want is for the attacker to have both your keys AND your address (which they will if you’re carrying your license).  So when I heard of this nifty bracelet I just about swooned — it has your name, city, and the phone numbers of loved ones — no address.  (You can also add information about blood type, allergies, and more.)  Perfect!  It’s $29.99 at RoadID.com.  WristID Elite

Open Thread: Summer Workouts

The Firm: Get Chisel'dHere in NYC it’s one of those “102 degrees, feels like 107″ kind of weeks. So this seems like a great time to talk about summer workouts. What are you guys doing to stay fit (and manage stress) as the mercury climbs?

For my $.02, I find myself incapable of running in this heat — so I got up first thing this morning and did one of my favorite workouts, The Firm: Get Chisel’d– with the A/C on high and a fan on.  Forty minutes, interval training with some weights, and a not-too-annoying instructor… not too bad.

P.S.: In theory, this should be Beauty Wednesday… except I think I’ve written about all of the products that I love at the moment! If you have a good sunscreen (that you still use after the scary study a month or two ago) or a good mask or something else that you use occasionally that boosts skin turnover (I think it’s either alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids that are the active ingredient), please e-mail me (or comment below) — I’m in the market for ‘em.
