Biznik is a business-building social network for indie professionals. That means folks who own and operate their own businesses, whether they are the head honcho of one or a team of twenty. Accountants, fashion designers, writers, sex therapists, business coaches, attorneys, marketing gurus, soap makers – and countless others – are all part of the Biznik mix. Biznik offers a new way of networking. We refer to it as “radical self promotion” because it’s not your typical me-first-take-no-prisoners kind of self promotion. For example, we emphasize collaboration over competition. And instead of requiring attendance at less-than-exhilarating meetings, our members host their own events on topics relevant to your indie business interests. In place of staid luncheons or way-too-early breakfasts, our members host happy hours where you can mix and mingle and talk business – or weather or sports or politics – on your terms. We’re all big girls and boys, and we treat each other as such. Biznik connects globally, but meets locally. Biznik has members in cities and towns across the U.S. and in a growing number of other countries. We encourage supporting your immediate community by hiring and purchasing locally, but why not build momentum on the indie business movement together, no matter what sea or state line falls between us? Exactly. There’s really no good reason not to. For more information, please visit this Biznik Information Page
The decision of where you will go to work out is a very important factor in your workout. A lot of different factors will go into this choice, and each and every one should be well looked over before you start working out. After you have made the choice of where you are going for your workout, you can then move on and find out your plan.
If you exercise regularly you most likely know, exercising out of your home has many advantages. The finance dept is one of the best things to look at. With the gas prices being what they are today, it is quite obvious that you'll save money on fuel as well as wear and tear on your vehicle by choosing to work out at home. Memberships to a gym can be and often are very expensive and may include other things that you don't really need such as day care and maintenance of the pool. You also will not need to worry about the exercise gear because you will always be working out at your home. Keep in mind that working out at home does require financial obligation. Even though you plan to run, it is very important that you have running shoes. This statement goes to any type of equipment that you may purchase to use at home. If you go out and buy cheap equipment, you will probably get frustrated or the equipment might break leaving you ripped off. Along with the financial plus, Those of you who get pumped when you work out with a buddy, a gym may be a better idea than working out at home. At the gym, you'll also more of a selection of equipment as well, far more than you'll have at home. If you need other services than just weights and equipment, the gym may have just what you need. If you plan to swim a triathlon, you'll find the swimming pool at the gym to be just what you need to prepare yourself. Swimming is another great way to exercise, as it will work muscles in your body that you probably never even knew you had. Gyms will also offer you to take classes that you might find to be very helpful. If you attend a class every day, you may be into it enough to say that you have been there at class working out and getting into shape. You can also meet new and more people in class or just help others out if you wish. All in all, making the choice of working out at home or in the gym is up to you but make the right choice. The most important choice you will need to make is what kind of place you want to be in while you're working out do you want to be at home or in the gym.

Look for a Bargain from Triathlete’s who are upgrading theirs

You may have been training for weeks or months already, but now it is 2 weeks before your race and it's time to think about resting. Many triathletes find this more difficult than swimming 5,000 yards, biking the hills, or running a half marathon! Here are some things to keep in mind if you are beginning your taper or rest period before your race. 1. Do longer warmups and warmdowns. You can keep your distance up, but start to add more to the beginning and end portion of your workout. This 'active rest' will assure that you are well rested for your race but not out of shape. 2. Avoid big meals and sugar. Tapering is an adjustment for your body, and your immune system may not be as strong during this time. Big meals and carbohydrates like sugar will wear your immune system and leave you susceptible to colds and flus. Keep in mind that as your workout intensity decreases, you must decrease calorie intake accordingly. 3. Get as much sleep as you can before midnight. Ideally, get to bed by 10:30. The sleep you get before midnight is the most crucial to your recovery. You will feel more rested if you can do this for at least 2 weeks before your event. 4. Lay off the strength training. This is more of an individual call (some people feel better if they are doing some strength work all the way up until the event, others will be too broken down unless they take a good 2 weeks off), but at the minimum, you should go lighter in the weeks leading up to your event. 5. Avoid caffeine. It may be tough if you are a coffee addict, but 2 weeks of not having that morning cup will give you more natural energy for your race. Take it from 6-time Ironman champion Mark Allen- he practiced this for every race and it worked pretty well for him! 6. Increase your meditation or yoga. Less time working out means more time to prepare mentally! If you don't do yoga already, don't start now. However, find some quiet time during the day to get away from work and working out to clear your mind. Think about how easy that swim will be since you are well-prepared with Tri Swim Coach! 7. You will have more energy during your rest or taper period. Don't be tempted to use it! Save it for your event and you will be glad you did. Have a great race! About The Author
