Comfort is important.
Being an active person with running around to do plus throwing the gym into mix makes for dressing for your activities important. Finding pieces you can wear everywhere and feel good in it is so important. Supplex it a great durable material that flexes to feel comfortable and tightens to give your tush a lift. It is great in the gym and perfect to dress up with a blouse. Beliefitness offers a large range of supplex pants by Couture Active wear.

Dancing for Fun and Fitness
This summer so far, I have enjoyed several open air concerts and public dancing events. It seems that you can find a place where music is being played almost anywhere during the summer. Whether you like old time music or rock and roll, there is somebody out there entertaining a crowd.
Dancing has got to be my #1 fitness activity. It’s doesn’t qualify for the word ‘work’out. It should be called ‘play’out. No, no that wouldn’t do either. Although now that I think about it, when I’m done, I’m played out 
No matter what your favorite style of music is, if you can keep a beat, you can probably learn to dance. Last week, I watched seniors dancing to the tune of Johnny Cash and the fiddlers of Perth-Andover Market. It was great to see the grey hairs teaching kids of 5 to 10 how to step to the music.
Dancing is such a great way to work fitness into your life. Not only does it give you a reason to move, but it builds balance into your life as well. Dancing blends many of the best of life into one event. It is a positive social outlet, it decreases stress, and music improves your learning abilities.
The neat thing about dancing is, that it is not a seasonal sport. You can participate in dance by joining a class, going to a nightclub, going to an outdoor concert or getting into a mosh pit in an indoor concert. You can enjoy ballroom dancing, hip hop, salsa, or a polka. There are enough choices in that feild to keep you hopping for a lifetime.
Of course it would be crazy of me not to mention the clothes you can wear while you dance. If you have watched any of the popular shows lately like “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing With The Stars” then you’ve seen the wide variety of clothes and styles related to each kind of dance routine. By and large, the clothes used to practice in are the exact same kinds of clothing used for working out in the gym or on the street.
Check out our line of beautiful shirts and pants. Do you have trouble finding Dancewear that fits? – quality Motionwear Dancewear and Gymnastics apparel for All Ages www.motionwearstore.com is a good place to go to get it.
That’s enough for today, I’m off to my clogging lesson

Hiking in the Great Outdoors
Are you looking for a summer hiking adventure? Where ever you go to take a hike, you will find something you have not likely seen before. Even if you have been on that trail a dozen times before.
The cool thing about hiking is that the trail is always changing, always growing and evolving. It is invigorating to be out in nature where the grass grows and rocks show wherever they be. Whether you prefer forest hikes or other types, you probably know how important the hiking gear is. The right boots can save you from a twisted ankle or a nasty fall.
My recomendation is that you wear pants if you can stand it for a vigorous hike over rough terrain. Pants will protect you from insect bites and the need for strong insect repellant being exposed to too much skin. If you do take a tumble, your pants may protect your skin from scrapes and cuts more than you know.
Getting pants that breath is a better idea than blue jeans. Also consider fabric that has more flexibility since most hiking trails I’ve ever seen can require big steps up or down and in other directions. Supplex from Dupont is one such fabric made especially for the active person. Check out our clothing line to see if there is a pair of pants you’d go hiking in at Beliefitness.com.
Of course, if the heat is getting to you and only shorts will do, cosider capris. They will still protect your knees and be a little cooler for the trip.
Canada is one of the most amazing places for the avid hiker. We have been to several provinces and enjoyed some of the best secret sights of the world up there. Every hike has its own unique blend of peacefullness and adventure. You never know what you will discover along the way.
Enjoy the trip where ever you go and don’t forget your hiking gear. We found this great sight called US Outdoors. They sell top of the line hiking gear. Until next time, have a great outdoor summer.

Summer Pants?
Do the words summer and pants go together? Sure they do. Most people do not have the luxury of shorts, bathing suits and capris all summer long. Some activities require pants as appropriate dress. Working in an air conditioned office for instance may make pants a wise choice.
The cool thing is that you can still be comfortable, stylish and well dressed in your fitness pants just as easily at the office as at the gym. Check our our line of fitness pants and see if you agree. Some of the lighter colors are just the ticket for this summer. You can take your needed noon hour walking break in the same clothes you wear to work without worrying if you are dressed appropriately.
Being comfortable and stylish at the same time lends itself nicely to dressing for fitness success. If you added a noon hour walk to 3 or 4 of your work days, you would find yourself more productive, and more positive within 2 to 3 weeks of developing your routine. With summer temperatures rising, you may want to walk in an air controlled environment. If you’d rather enjoy the sunshine, you may need to slow your pace a bit or shorten your walking time so that you do not get over heated. Remember to bring along a water bottle to take sips along the way. It will help you to stay cool and rehydrate you as you go.
We hope you enjoy the summer as much as possible. It is such a short season around here. Have fun and keep working on your goal to fitness success.

Capris for the Summer
Summer is HERE at last! It’s time to shorten the length of your pants. The cool thing about capris is that they are cooler for those summer days but still look dressy enough for shopping and in some cases the office.
Capris in case you didn’t know is a pair of pants cut off just below the knee. They have been in style for several years now and are still the height of fashion. Capris are the perfect fit for street wear and gym wear combined. These classy alternatives give you a chance to show off those fit calves while covering some of those thigh dimples that haven’t yet been worked out.
Tight fit or flare bottoms are a matter of personal preference. The tight leg may be preferred for biking or more demanding exercise plans. They will be less wind resistant and won’t get in the way of gears. The flared leg would be preferred in a more semi formal setting.

What’s the weather like out there?
Whether or not the weather is cooperating with your fitness plans for the day does not have to affect your lifestyle or your mood. It is easy enough to adjust your schedule if you plan for a rainy day. I don’t know where you all live but here where I am has been rather disappointing for June. Our weather has been cold and often rainy.
Getting a move on is just as important on rainy days as it is on sunny days and good overcast warm days. Being prepared makes life a little easier. Good rain gear can make a brisk walk in the rain fun. Make sure the coat or jacket you choose is breathable. I also suggest a baseball cap that has a visor to protect your face and eyes from unnecessary moisture.
Another good idea is to have a membership at a local gym that allows drop in times that are flexible. Join a class in climate controlled locations that are close to home if possible. Consider indoor or out of door sports that go well with the season you are in and enjoy the company of many other sports enthusiasts.
Rainy day fitness can be just as much fun as clear days if you plan ahead for the eventuality. Enjoy the summer while you can.

Dressing for Fitness Success
Beliefitness believes that we can dress you for fitness success. What does dressing for fitness success mean exactly? It means dressing in such a way as to encourage you to become what you wear.
Business people have known for years that dressing for success will not only impress potential clients but also tends to influence the owner of the wardrobe to act in a more successful manner. The same rule applies to fitness success.
If the person looking at you in the mirror looks successful, your subconscious mind will live up to that image more readily than if the image you see looks like a slob.
The idea of “putting your money where your mouth is” can be further incentive to working out and getting fit. When you buy a great looking outfit for fun and fitness activities, there is no doubt you will want to look your best in those clothes.
This summer consider what you are wearing. Do the clothes you wear make you want to get into shape? Are you willing to invest in your own fitness success? What is being in great shape worth to you?
Think about it and comment. We’d love to hear from you.

Fun In The Sun
It’s definitely time to think about having fun in the sun. We’ve had a few really nice sunny days out here. They make us want to get out there and do summer things.
Remember, if you have been cooped up all winter or during the rainy season, you will need to get fit slowly. Warm up and stetch before getting into action. Biking, walking, jogging, gardening, football, rugby, soccer and baseball are all spring/summer activities that can have you out doors and enjoying these sunny days.
Keep in mind your eye sight. Protect your eyes from bright sunlight with good quality eye wear. We found a good selection of sunglasses on the web. There is a style of sunglasses for everyone.
When you consider your overall designer look, consider your sunglasses in relationship to the outfit you are wearing for your chosen fitness activity. As with all accessories. These too will advance your enthusiasm.
Now go get some sun!

Beliefitness.com is up and running.
Yes we are up and running and not just in business. Seriously, the weather is perfect this time of year to be up and running out of doors. For those of us who don’t run, power walking is the way to go… Not strolling, walking. Getting back into shape after a long winter, especially since Christmas and Easter banquets is a must if you are to enjoy and endure the summer. Now is the time.
GET CRACKING!!!!
