M: A club? I don’t mean to be backhanded, but why go to a club?

P: A club brings people together and provides an environment perfect for exercising and having fun with friends. In good company, time passes quickly and any activity is more enjoyable.

M: So I’d have to … do stuff. Like what?

P: Swimming is a whole body activity, using all muscle groups. It builds strength, endurance, and aerobic fitness. Organized swimming provides skill practice and aerobic activity while having fun with friends, but even casual swimming is beneficial.

M: You do realize it’s winter?

P: Even though it is hard to think of temperatures warm enough to swim in December and January, the friendships from swimming carry us through the winter months in other activities on the tennis courts.

M: Tennis? Isn’t that Dr. Tiffany’s pastime?

P: Tennis involves team building as well as personal accomplishment. Hand-eye coordination and agility are developed in tennis, as well as mental focus and endurance. Local leagues, clinics and United States Tennis Association (USTA) leagues are great ways to enjoy healthy exercise year-round.

M: I’m a sports … fan. Isn’t that enough?

P: Physical activity provides more than just physical benefits: it boosts our state of mind and balances our emotions. Getting outside and getting moving expands mental awareness and stretches the body. Commitment to a team activity keeps us accountable to get out and participate.

M: I didn’t get what I wanted for Christmas this year.
What should I do?

P: Give yourself the gift of health and wellness. Join a club and
get moving.

Horsemanship vs. Humanship

We are going to take a break this month from equine nutrition and focus on something that requires you to look at yourself in the mirror. Of course I have to add something equine. 2020 has definitely been a year to remember, or not to remember. Politics, religion, job losses, COVID-19, masking up everywhere, and losing freedoms that we are all so used to enjoying. How would you really know whether the person you happen to meet lost a loved one recently, is going through a divorce, just had an argument with his or her spouse, lost a job, etc.? The other person may be a bit short with you.

Embracing Our New Normal | Hope and Resilience versus Safetyism

Hope and Resilience versus Safetyism Recently, I was introduced to a new concept that caught my attention as I’ve been watching society around me react to the “new normal.” The construct is called “safetyism.” Much like many ‘isms’, it embodies a frame of thought that fuels anxiety and fear. Safety is generally thought to bring goodness and health, but in an extreme form, safety becomes safetyism. The concept was initially defined by Lukianoff and Haidt in 2018 in their book entitled The Coddling of the American Mind. They define safetyism as a culture or belief system in which safety has become a sacred value, which means that people become unwilling

The “Do You Know” Quiz

To the younger, cooler generation(s), from a Gen Xer (once younger, maybe not so cool): Have you ever wondered what your parents, aunts, uncles or grandparents were like when they were your age? It is think that they have always been as they are right now, with their current size, shape, hair (or lack of hair), habits, and opinions. They can seem strong willed and not very flexible at times. They may not listen the way you want them to. They may be more focused on their problems than on how you are doing. It is very easy for parents and children to misunderstand each other and see events and

Palmetto Bella: Letter from the Publisher

There is a scene in the 1981 Burt Reynolds movie Paternity in which he talks about watching a certain kid ride a bike along the top of a fence without ever falling. When will he fall? When he learns about gravity, and when some schmuck tells him he can’t ride on top of the fence without falling. I was only 11 when this movie came out, but I remember being struck by the truth of that statement even then. One of my favorite books discusses the domestication of humans, how we usher children into adulthood by teaching them all the things they cannot do, should not do, as adults. I
