One of the long-awaited hikes of our trip to Greece was Pachnes Peak. Have you done it? 🧐

Let me tell you that you have to be prepared:

🧠Be mentally prepared: It's about a 3-hour hike and considered challenging. Be prepared for the adventure and the 4x4 ride!

🥗Fuel up: Recharge before and after this hike with energy-packed food. Which is not a difficult task in Greece really, as it is very easy to find delicious and nutritious food.

🗺Know the way: Yes, local guides are vital to being logistically prepared, especially when hiking in a different country. We were led by the professional team at

👉The most important thing: Every step is accompanied by great scenery, and what better way to enjoy it than with fellow travelers?

When the path leads to a vineyard! 🍇
There is something magical about exploring a country, including indulging in the delights that different cultures offer.

Of course, we enjoyed good wine in our FitCation to Crete, Greece 🇬🇷. This FitCation was the perfect blend of fitness, relaxation, and cultural immersion, leaving us with cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Can't wait to plan the next adventure!

Remember that it's about balance! Cheers! 🍷

We enjoyed the south coast section of the E4 🥾in Crete, particularly renowned for its remote and unspoiled beauty. It is a truly hidden gem that never disappoints!

We found and immersed ourselves in a landscape rich with native flora and curious goats! 🐐

Each step of the way offers numerous opportunities to cool off in the crystal-clear waters of hidden coves or relax on pristine, sun-drenched beaches ☀️

One of the highlights of our trip to Greece was definitely the delicious food 👩‍🍳 this wonderful country has to offer. Greek cuisine celebrates vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients, making it perfect for a fitcation.

Fresh produce like tomatoes, cucumbers, and aromatic herbs define the dishes. Olives and olive oil provide rich flavors, while tangy feta cheese adds a delightful contrast. Seafood lovers can indulge in grilled fish 🐟 seasoned with lemon and herbs. Grains like barley and bulgur, along with legumes, offer nutritious options.

🇬🇷 Greek cuisine is a master class of balance and freshness, ensuring each meal is a nourishing and delicious experience.

FitCation Day 1
Today’s theme was Hike-Swim-Hike

We were shuttled across the mountains to the beach town of Sougia where our boat and our local guide awaited us.

We cruised along the stunning South Coast with a quick dip in the azure water of the Libyan Sea. We landed at Marmara Beach and were treated to a nature walk in Aradena Gorge before a yummy lunch. Then, our first hike on the coastal trail into the magical town of Loutro. After checking in and an aperitivo, we enjoyed our welcome dinner- and the raki flowed with the camaraderie of this group.

This is our first FitCation with 💯 FitCation alumni. With reps from each of our 7 trips, the connections are as deep as the Libyan Sea.

What a joy!

"Lisa and I have been friends for a long time. When she said, “Come to Italy,” I knew it would be great. But I worried about my bum knee and the out-of-cardio shape that came with it.

I stewed about the cost—my money and I have a mutually jealous relationship. Then, I sent a link to my sisters-in-law with a text sharing, “I trust Lisa. It’d be a great trip.” From there, it just turned into a thing.

Even on challenging hikes with Lisa and Pete, everyone had a chance to push it or hang back to match our energy for the day. My bum knee held up well with a bit of tender loving care. Lisa’s eyes picked up if I wavered, and she checked in regularly."

Have you ever listened to "Bella Ciao"? It's such a powerful song, and it holds so much meaning. Every April 25th, Italians celebrate Festa della Liberazione, marking it as a national holiday 🇮🇹.

This day commemorates the end of Fascist rule and the N**i occupation of Italy during World War II.

It's a time to remember the brave Partigiani (partisans) who fought against the regime as part of the resistance movement.

"Bella Ciao" is deeply ingrained in this history and is often considered the anthem of the Italian resistance.

We all know that change can be challenging for the brain, which prefers predictability. But we don't have to let that stop us from achieving our goals.

Cooking a gourmet meal can feel intimidating and too much to manage on a busy weeknight. But a cooking lesson on FitCation, like this one with , can demonstrate the joy of preparing a beautiful meal, and sharing it with your loved ones.

Maybe you won't make your own bread after a full day of work. But prioritizing a meal together is a small daily habit that can reap big rewards and sustainable results👌

10/04/2024

Learning your first-second language when you're older can be a wild ride. There is a distinct advantage to learning when you're young. For example, our friend’s two-year-old is growing up with FOUR languages. His mom speaks to him in German, his dad in Italian. They speak English to each other, and to make it even more complicated, he is going to a Dutch school. So when I say disparagingly, “Parlo come una bambina” (I speak like a baby), I’m being literal.

🤓 The Do’s and Don’ts for learning your first second language:

-Do take a class where you have to actually SPEAK to another person.
-Don’t get frustrated if the other person does not understand you. Most people will be very patient if you’re trying, so be patient in return.
-Do have fun with it! You will learn more quickly if you don’t take it too seriously.
-Don’t try to learn more than one language at a time unless you’re already a polyglot. You WILL get language confusion 🤯.

Happy happy day!

A trend called "social media is fake" has been spreading lately. Although I agree with part of this title, it is also true that behind every account is a human being wanting to share their story, their why, and genuinely CONNECT with people 🤝.

Today is a special day that commemorates people's equal search for well-being.

And you know what else? It's totally free to share happiness! So today, you can pick up the phone and call that distant friend you haven't talked to in a long time, hug your family members tight, tell them how much you love them, or simply leave encouraging comments on social media!

Yes, social media can be fake, but it can also be a way to spread happiness. It's totally up to you.

Happy International Day of Happiness from the Body Synergy FitCation team! 😄

5 places you can’t miss when in Sicily 🇮🇹

1- Ragusa: This city, separated into Ragusa Ibla and Ragusa Superiore, is home to many baroque buildings, including the Duomo di San Giorgio. Its rich Greek, Roman, and Byzantine legacy makes it a must-see for anyone interested in Sicilian history.

2- Teatro Antico di Taormina: The Taormina Ancient Theatre is reported to have been able to seat around 5,400 people. No one knows when the Theatre was originally built. Due to its imposing view and ample space, it was the setting for various films, including Mighty Aphrodite, starring Woody Allen and Helena Bonham Carter.

3- Mt. Etna: Known for being the most active stratovolcano in the world, it offers spectacular views while hiking. You know what they say: it’s uphill, but the view is worth it! We also recommend indulging in the region’s wines with distinctive smokey and red fruit notes.

4- Isola Bella Beach: With its crystal clear blue water, it is the delight of all who visit it. And it’s one of the best beaches in Sicily!

Sometimes words feel inadequate.
To hear the details, the scope of the planning and the carnage…to hear about the best and the worst of humanity—it takes your breath away.
In the initial wave of the D Day landing, 65% of the men landing on Omaha Beach died. The weather was stormy, the conditions were terrible. Paratroopers were blown off course and landed in unexpectedly deep water or trees, or memorably, got stuck on top of a church. Rangers landed with equipment and comms lost, and scaled the cliffs with their wits and bayonets, only to find dummy canons waiting. Tanks sank before they could get to the beach, their crews locks inside. It was a scene from a nightmare, but we prevailed. I’m humbled, awed, and grateful.

If you’ve never been to Normandy, go. It will take away bluster and bravado and help you remember what the United States is about.

And the good guys won.

Thinking with gratitude of my Grandfather, Sgt Bert Tannenbaum, who flew 25 mission in a B-17 over France and Germany, and then came home to meet his baby daughter.
