Welcome!

This is Scott McManus from Seattle, Washington. I reside out here in the great Pacific Northwest where we have an abundance of year round outdoor recreational activities to fully engage ourselves in an healthy active lifestyle, no matter the season. Our vast landscape of mountains, lakes, coastlines, hiking and running trails, bike friendly roads, etc.. all provide a variety of fun-filled activity to escape from the hustle and bustle of our daily responsibilities.

My blog shares inspiring ways to truly live an active and healthy lifestyle while maximizing your time and resources effectively while in pursuit of your health and wellness goals. Inspiring Healthier Lives provides you with in depth research and knowledge based material in your journey, as well.

Please follow me on your journey of health and wellness success and let me be a source of inspiration along the way!

Thank you,

Scott R. McManus

Pool Workouts: Beat The Summer Heat


The summer heat is in full effect, so take off all your clothes, put on a bikini or swimming trunks and jump in the pool. Sure, it's summer... sun, high temps and lots of sweating are expected. But just because this week's heat wave is causing a mass exodus indoors, doesn't mean you're bound to the treadmill or even a gym for your workouts!

While air conditioning is great, extreme heat requires extreme cool down measures like a refreshing dip in the pool. Even if you're not a swimmer, you can still get a full-body workout with these water exercises from Mark Hendricks, Group Fitness Manager at Greenwich Equinox in New York City. Plus, working out in the pool is so much fun, you'll forget all about the scorching temps. Just don't forget your sunblock!

So grab a noodle (floaties if necessary) and jump in!
