Da Vinci BodyBoard Is Full Body Fitness

  • December 6, 2016

New Da Vinci BodyBoard classes at the Vail Vitality Center are full-body workouts.  Floery Mahoney is an avid entrepreneur, and after starting the first Pilates studio in Vermont, then opening a high-end restaurant, working as a furniture maker, and finally becoming a chocolate maker, she decided to develop a workout routine that was quick and effective to complement her busy life as a mom and a business owner. “I turned 45 and was making chocolate, and having been a runner, my body started to not be the way it usually had been in the past, which was fit and healthy,” shares Mahoney. She upped her game at the gym, started going to boot camps and didn’t take days off of[…]

Want To Be Injury Free This Winter?

  • September 5, 2016

Personal Coaches and Trainers agree that most people are using the  fitness equipment incorrectly leading to immediate and lifelong injuries. Fitness equipment and exercise routines aren’t always intuitive, and trial and error is never a smart strategy when it comes to injury-free fitness. Here’s a Q&A with Vail Vitality Center’s Angela Muzic on how to make your workouts safe and effective: What are the benefits of working in a gym, with equipment and weights, versus only participating in outdoor recreation?  Angela Muzic: Living in the mountains, it seems as though everyone participates in multiple outdoor activities — which is great! Being outside is incredible for the mind and body. However, as we repeat certain movement patterns, such as hiking uphill or biking[…]

5 Ways To Find Vitality in Vail 

  • July 30, 2016

Breathe It In  There’s something really special about Colorado mountain air. From the moment you arrive in Vail, you can feel the refreshing and rejuvenating alpine energy.

Vail Eats: The New Terra Bistro

  • June 8, 2016

New menu highlights small tastes and shared plates.  With the bright new season, Terra Bistro has completely transformed its entire menu format. The restaurant has abandoned the only starter-to-main-course routine, and replaced it with more than 20 small to medium-sized plates. The new menu style will help diners to step out of their comfort zone a bit, because they no one has to commit to a single dish. Small plates gives every guest more opportunity to explore their personal palate. “We’re hopeful that the abundance of truly inspired small tastes will encourage guests to be more adventurous than they typically care when they are committing to one large entrée,” explained Kevin Nelson, Terra Bistro managing partner. The restaurant still prides itself in[…]

PRO-aging at the Vitality Center

  • May 13, 2016

We hear a lot about anti-aging in the media but what does that really mean? At the Vitality Center, we know aging is inevitable. I believe the mindset should be switched to PRO-aging and the focus placed on techniques to help you age gracefully. Of course the products we use on our skin play a big role in how you age on the outside, but we must remember that aging starts from the inside out. Healthy eating, daily exercise, and most importantly a positive attitude have a large impact on healthy aging. The big hype has been all about anti-aging, natural beauty products. An online study conducted in June and detailed on www.skininc.com revealed nearly six in 10 U.S. adult women read[…]

Vitality At Every Age: Make Pilates A Life-Long Practice

  • April 19, 2016

Think of pro-aging as the new and improved discussion about the aging process. This “Vitality At Every Age” series brought to you by the Vail Vitality Center focuses on themes to help our locals and visitors age in an informed and empowered way.  Pilates is for all ages, according to Angela Muzic, Pilates instructor at the Vail Athletic Club. Perhaps what you’ve heard about Pilates is that it will make you stand taller, or help you to gain deeper core strength. The exercise method does help to lengthen your spine, and the technique certainly does help to build strength in and around your whole torso — so not only is what you have heard about the “Pilates body” true, the activity[…]

Road Ready Cycling Program Starting April 21st

  • April 12, 2016

A note from Jennifer on this next 4 week Road Ready Cycling Program… Hey, all you cyclists! Hope your winter was incredible. It’s time to get back on your bikes, and I can help get you ready! Working with power has proven to be an amazing experience for everyone who has been riding with me this winter. Many riders have seen improvements in the FTP (functional threshold power). But most gains are noticeable when you spend a little more time at higher intensities. Power improvement is about performance, losing weight (if that’s a goal) and enhancing the amount of time you spend turning the pedals. No matter your goals! In this final winter session, we’ll prepare for outdoor riding by[…]
