Camping is one of the recreational activities. It brings relaxation to some people. If you are one of those who like camping, you are probably very familiar with the camping gear that campers usually bring. Each gear has its specific purpose. These make camping fun and easy. These equipment may be an addition to the weight campers carry. However, at the end of the day, this gadget brings unparalleled comfort which makes the overall camping experience unforgettable. Let us consider camping chairs as an example. To other campers, the weight may be a bit off because of its bulkiness. So, some people will think twice if they still need to bring it. Of course, you have to choose the size which you can accommodate. If you visit some camping stores, you will find several which can fit your need.

Given the fact that these folding camping chairs are just an addition to the backpack list, there are reasons why these were created in the first place. The very first reason is its usefulness. While it is true that you can sit anywhere (since you are in a camping anyway), it is always better if there is a certain place where you can properly sit. You can take it anywhere you want. You can easily adjust it to a certain angle, however and wherever it pleases you. You can also always count in the comfort it brings. If you check out the market, you will notice several features. There are high back reclining chairs, loungers and chairs with shades or convertibles. Probably these are created because each people have different needs. Some people can settle for an average one. There are also some people who prefer to have a reclining chair to really relax their back. You can probably find the best camping chair for you if you are patient enough to check what is out there in the market. Mobility can also be counted as one of the reasons why these portable camping chairs became popular. There are chairs now made of aluminum or other light weight materials. Campers can have a good reason why they can carry it everywhere. Style can also be a reason why these trendy camping chairs are in. Some people just love to do things in style. They may be doing camping which can be physical at times. Instead of settling to an average camping gear, they choose that which looks classy or updated. Their fashion sense just always comes out.

These are just four general reasons why camping chairs are indispensable in a camping trip. Let us just admit the fact that there are times we cannot just sit anywhere. If we have an option, we’ll find a nice place to sit and therefore rest. If these chairs can provide us with what we need during camping, it is worth the weight we carry. Let us just focus on the enjoyment we can derive from this camping trip!

If you think that you can only get results in a gym, think again. It used to be that I thought so, too, but actually, you can be more fit (and certainly more efficient) if you don’t. By doing so, you can still get in a workout at least six days a week, if not more, and maintain those killer abs, too.

What are some things you lose (to your advantage) when you stop going to the gym?

1. Wasted time on travel and changing clothes

Well, you don’t have to drive to the gym anymore, so that cuts out travel time. And, you’re not changing in and out of street clothes into workout gear in the locker room, either.

2. Following the “sheep mentality”

When you work out in the gym, there’s something called the “sheep mentality” that can actually be to your disadvantage. Most people who work out at the gym do so because they want to fit into what infomercials and fitness magazines say they must do. That means when you go to the gym, it’s likely that you’re going to do what everyone else does instead of what’s truly beneficial for you.

Let’s take an example. Instead of doing hours of cardio, you can do several minutes of intense interval training and burn fat on your belly, hips and thighs that simply seems permanent.

The guys are no better, because they might work chest, bicep or ab muscles to “look good,” but they also take really long rests between upper body exercises. In other words, they could probably bench 300 pounds or more, but full range of motion push-ups using just their body weight is something they probably could NOT do.

Instead of doing what everyone else in the gym is doing, do something that really works. And, you can do this at home.

3. Waiting for your turn

When you’re at the gym, it’s likely that you spend a lot of time waiting around just to use a piece of equipment. In fact, 10 to 20 minutes of workout can be spent doing just that, when you could be doing something much more valuable. Not only is this bad for your workout momentum, but it actually is a detriment to your workout itself because you continually “warm up” and “cool down”. In addition, you are continually on a “stop and go” basis, which is completely counterproductive because what you really want to do is a work to rest ratio with an alternating set format. This will help you burn fat and lose weight fast, which is what most people want to do when they work out.

So instead of doing that, try this at home: do 50 seconds of work, and then 10 seconds of transition and rest. Incorporate that into a five-exercise total body strength circuit. You can’t do this in a gym, because there’s too much wait time. But you can do this at home. So get yourself a couple of good pieces of exercise equipment you’ll really use, and be in control of your own workout.

4. You can get sick at the gym

Let’s face it. People carry cold and flu (and leave their germs all over equipment) to the gym just like they do anyplace else. Yes, gym personnel try very hard to clean up the equipment, but at the end of the day, there’s only so much they can do and they can’t keep the gym sterile. So a better way to stay healthy is to work out at home, where the only germs you are going to encounter are your own.

5. Nasty people

Let’s face it. People can be annoying. You’re in your zone, working out, and someone wants to talk to you. What kind of way to get results is that? For a lot of people, going to the gym doesn’t mean “working out.” It means “socializing.” In addition, it’s not entirely pleasant to have someone watching you when you’re in the middle of your workouts. In fact, it can be downright irritating.

Worse yet is when someone asks you about your workout routine. If they’re so interested, they can pay for a trainer themselves. Heck, they’re even sometimes provided free with gym membership. So to avoid all of these annoyances, work out at home. It’ll save you time and headaches, too. Best of all, you can do it in just about 20 minutes.

6. Membership expenses

Gym memberships can be expensive. How much better would it be to invest in some good quality equipment that you only have to pay for once and then work out for free (beyond that initial cost) for years to come?

7. Broken equipment, or equipment that doesn’t do what it says it does

When you get your own equipment, you know it’s going to work the way you want it to, and be best for your body. Too often, gym machines don’t work the way they supposed to, or they’re completely useless. They can cause injury because your body moves in ways that it wasn’t designed to. Better to invest in some of your own equipment that you know Is going to work for you, and leave it at that.

8. No space to really train in

A lot of the time, gyms are filled up with oversized machines that take up all of the valuable floor space so that there’s no space to do “body only” exercises like lunges. Yet another reason to stay home.

9. Dependence on the facility

Much of the time, a gym forces you to become dependent on them. If you’re used to using certain machines, all of a sudden you’re not able to work out when you travel or can’t go to your home gym. Most people use that as an excuse to take some time off of their workouts until they get home, which can be killer for progress and consistency.

Instead, exercises that depend on your body weight let you exercise anywhere, anytime. You get the same results or better than those that you get at the gym, and you can do them anywhere.

10. Bad trainers

A lot of trainers really don’t know what they’re doing. Basically, agencies that may or may not be above board certify them. Typically, if you go to a gym, you’re in a “fitness factory.” The gym wants you to go in, stay a little bit, and then go out. They don’t care if you reach your fitness goals and they don’t want to build a relationship with you. They just want their quota, and you help fill that quota.

So instead of using a trainer that gets paid $60 an hour and who may or may not be truly qualified, invest in some good equipment and do the job yourself with just a little bit of “on-the-job” training.

More than that, though, you don’t need a one-hour workout. Gyms (and trainers) simply follow that spiel so as to fill an appointment schedule. It doesn’t have much of anything to do with fitness.

A better alternative is to join a boot camp for fitness in your area that’ll develop your community as a fit entity in its entirety. And that’s going to cost you probably about $20, as opposed to the $60 a personal trainer will charge you. If you can’t be disciplined in your workout at home, you can look for trainers using Workout Muse. Change your body, and change your life in less than half the time you typically spend with a trainer, about 30 minutes. And, best of all, this fitness schedule will keep you burning fat for the rest of the day.

So instead of trying to get yourself to go to the gym, set up your own workout space at home for very little cost. If you are dedicated enough, you won’t have any problem. If you need someone to help keep you disciplined, try working out with a buddy.

So avoid the gym, and start working out at home instead. You won’t be sorry, and you’ll see results very quickly, for very little money. No gym rats to be found. What could be better than that?

Camping holidays in France have long been a favourite for British holiday makers, especially for families. The combination of fantastic beaches, quality food, and beautiful countryside makes for a superb trip to Europe, and nowhere is this truer than in Normandy. Camping in Normandy is special for a number of reasons; here are just five…

Close to Home

For sheer convenience, it is hard to beat a family holiday in Normandy. It is the region of France that is closest to the UK, and a camping holiday in Normandy is only a short crossing on the ferry or Eurostar away. No epic car drives across the length of France – you can get to a campsite in Normandy in a matter of hours and the shorter the car journey, the fewer ‘are we there yet’ comments you’ll hear from the children in the back!

Great Beaches

Normandy has a glorious coastline, alternating characterful little coves with long stretches of golden sand. Most campsites in Normandy are concentrated along the coast, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a beach holiday and experience the beautiful Normandy countryside at the same time.

Superb Regional Cuisine

As any stay at a country campsite in Normandy reveals, it is a land of orchards and dairy farms, and sampling the local produce is a real highlight of camping here. Normandy produces over half of the milk and dairy produce that is consumed in France – Camembert is the most famous cheese from the region, but it also produces Neufchatel, Livarot, Pont l’Eveque and many others. From the orchards, apple based dishes and sauces dominate the cuisine, including many excellent ciders and apple brandies. Being a coastal region, the seafood is unsurprisingly very good – make sure to try a local assiette de fruits de mer while you are camping in Normandy.

Historical Sights

Normandy has more to offer than just good beaches and fine cuisine. There is some superb medieval architecture on display at the charming town of Hornfleur, which is a picturesque place for a day trip away from your Normandy campsite. At Bayeux, you can see the original Bayeux Tapestry, the spectacular linen weaving that tells the story of the 1066 Norman conquest.

The beaches of Normandy are famous for more than just being good for relaxing on; the D-Day landings in World War II signified the beginning of the serious land campaign which eventually led to Germany’s defeat. History buffs will enjoy exploring the Allied landing zones (including Omaha, Juno and Sword) and surveying the remnants of a great battle fought decades before.

Family Friendly Campsites

When many people think of camping, they imagine muddy fields, pouring rain, and the most basic of facilities, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Many of the campsites in Normandy are luxurious, with restaurants, swimming pools, tennis courts, onsite shops and a host of other facilities. Normandy campsites are perfect for families, with a combination of onsite facilities, beaches and local countryside all acting as playgrounds to keep the children entertained.

Sun tan lotion. Surfboard wax. Sand. Singles. Surf. Yoga. Palm trees. What a combination! A co-ed surf camp on the island of Maui. Can you picture yourself mingling with other healthy, adventure seeking, like minded individuals while indulging in a surf and yoga retreat? Who needs potential romance while situated in paradise? Why not stay at home instead and try another blind date?

For those of you who are still determined to attend a co-ed surf camp, here are some other reasons to make you think twice:

Reason #1 You can meet other people with similar interests. Do you really need to meet other people with similar interests? Who needs more friends of either gender? Who has time for surfing with friends from all over the world? You may even want to catch up with them or go on vacation with them next year. What a drag!

Reason #2 You may meet your new love on a wave. Going to a co-ed surf camp could give you the potential to meet other singles or your true love. Could you picture yourself meeting other eligible singles in surf lessons and yoga sessions? Relaxing, unwinding, eating delicious meals…what an aphrodisiac! Imagine meeting other singles that already have a common interest for adventure, health and well-being.

Reason #3 A healthy environment to meet like-minded single people. Do you really want to pack up all your single friends and head off to a surf camp in Hawaii? Sun, sand, surf, singles, what a hideous combination. Wouldn’t you be better off trusting your luck at a singles bar with total strangers? Why would you be hoping to meet other singles at a surf and yoga retreat when you can sit behind a computer and try to meet singles? Does this mean that your mom will stop trying to set you up with her friend’s grown children?

Reason #4 Exercise your body and refresh your mind. A surf and yoga camp allows you to tone up your body splendidly while at the same time allowing your mind to unwind. Why would you wish for that? Tanned, taut, and terrific, all while on time out. This is no way to meet other singles. Don’t you prefer to look pasty white with a large winter coat on and a runny nose? A co-ed surf camp will allow you to free your mind while possibly engaging your heart.

Reason #5 You might have too much fun. You would be in serious danger of enjoying yourself at a co-ed surf camp. A co-ed surf camp will allow you to free your mind while possibly engaging your heart. Who wants that? This sounds like an equation for far too much pleasure and relaxation. Improving your well being while learning a new sport and working on your sun tan could be disastrous for your health and single life.

Why risk wanting to return next year to another surf camp? Do you really want all of your future vacations to be in sunny beach side locations chasing waves? Why would you want to go to a yoga and surf retreat that allows for guys and girls? Love could blossom amongst the hibiscus. Potential for romance while chasing waves. Palm trees, glistening surf, single tanned bodies. Maui or your living room. The choice is yours.
