GETTING ACTIVE

TIPS FOR MOVING, REGARDLESS OF YOUR LIFESTYLE

W

hen short-sleeve shirts, tanks and shorts make their way into your everyday wardrobe, summer has officially arrived. And looking and feeling your best for all of those warm weather activities is important.

Busy women know that being active means more than just picking up a few healthy habits; it requires daily dedication. But sometimes despite best laid plans, real life gets in the way. You miss that gym visit or sleep through that workout class.

Make the most of your summer days with these tips that are not only fun, but will get you moving, even on the busiest days.

18 | SUMMER SCENE | JULY 2015

Establish a summer schedule.

With kids out of school, it can be easy to fall into a more laid-back routine. Fight the urge to turn on the television and create an active schedule with your children. After dinner, have a family walk around the neighborhood or plan for weekend outings to your favorite local nature preserve.

Schedule a walking meeting at work. If sitting in an office is part of your daily routine, make a point to be active. Need to go over some items with a co-worker? Avoid booking the conference room, and plan a walking meeting outside or around the building.

Getting your heart rate up and taking in some fresh summer air may be just what you need for successful brainstorming on the job.

Find motivation in all forms.

Seek the help of like-minded individuals who also want to establish healthy routines. Look online for health and fitness blogs from other women who can share their own journeys toward better health.

Or invest in a wearable fitness device that offers a personalized experience, such as a Mira Fitness tracker, that understands your fitness level and offers tips and inspirational boosts relevant to you.

For more information and to DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

check out their blog visit www. mymirafit.com.

Plan for an active vacation. Don’t let travel plans justify inactivity.

Use your vacation as an opportunity to get moving, and create new healthy experiences. Visiting a historic town or city? Check out a walking group tour to sightsee. Hitting the beach? Try beach volleyball, surfing or stroll beside the water every night. No matter where your travels take you, you can always find a way to be active.

Find ways to beat the heat. Don’t let the summer sun be your excuse to stay indoors on those extra hot days. Set your alarm early to get your morning run or hike in before those afternoon temperatures rise.

Seek a refreshing, cool workout, such as water aerobics at the gym or paddle boarding at the lake when the temps are soaring.

Let the inviting sun rays lure you outside and get moving. You may discover your next favorite workout, and other life hacks for a healthier you.

Tamarac collaboration with Common Loon migration study

By Emily Broich Minnesota’s state bird, the Common Loon, is a relatively common sight over the summer months on many area lakes. And with reason. Minnesota has an estimated Common Loon breeding population of 10,000 birds, more than any other state in the continental U.S. But where do these iconic birds overwinter, and how do they get there? What are their foraging patterns and where are their staging grounds before migrating up to five or six-hundred miles- sometimes in a single day?

Scientists and collaborators with the United States Geological Survey - Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center are researching Common Loon migratory movements using both satellite transmitters and geolocator tags to guide conservation planning and better understand juvenile mortality 26 | SUMMER SCENE | JULY 2015

during their first few years.

Over the past few years, several loons in the study were captured and marked at Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge.

Loons from Blackbird Lake and Loon Marsh were tagged for the 2011-2012 migration season. Veterinarians surgically implanted a satellite transmitter that updates scientists with the loons’ location. Information from the transmitters shows the loons overwintered off the coast of Florida and returned to their breeding lakes by mid-April and early May of 2012, respectively.

Information from some tagged loons have also revealed mortalities during migration. If the found bird is intact, it can also be submitted for autopsy to help scientists identify avian disease.

More recently, in August of 2014, researchers night-captured a juvenile loon using a dip net at S. Tamarac Lake. This loon, identified by the number 107261, left Tamarac in November of 2014, mi-

grating through Illinois, Indiana, and Tennessee before arriving to the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Florida’s panhandle in December.

Interestingly, this bird has not migrated back to Minnesota.

Leaving the warm waters of the Gulf Coast in April of 2015, its most recent location as of June 2015 was recorded in the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Interactive flash maps of loon movements of all birds marked in the study can be viewed under “Common Loon Migration Study” on the USGS web page.

Data collected from loons in the study demonstrate the importance of conservation of inland waters along the migration route and the Great Lakes as staging areas before hundreds of miles of flight. Data will help state and federal agencies to manage populations of this sentinel species in the face of various stressors such as disease, pollution, and climate change.
