Beware: Rip current season is here

You’re enjoying a day at the beach playing in the surf, when suddenly you find yourself being whisked out to sea! You’ve been caught in a rip current. It’s horrifying and can be deadly. Rip currents are responsible for 80% of beach lifeguard saves and cause an average 100 drowning deaths in the U.S. each year.
!WXPic2Rip currents are fast-moving channels of water that flow away from the shore and back
When the wind pushes water into shore, that water will usually travel parallel to the beach until it can find a way to return to sea. These rip currents usually form in small trenches between sand bars and can be hard to spot.

Virginia Beach fitness specialist: “Don’t diet”

Virginia Beach fitness and health expert, Jim White, and fitness trainer, Charlie Johnson, join the morning show for ‘Move It Monday’.

Jim shows us what we can do at home to attain a ‘beach-body’ for summer. He recommends drinking at least 64 ounces of water or more per day, plus, he says – don’t diet!

Jim says he wants people to stop focusing on the number on the scale, and instead, focus on these things: how well your clothes fit, fitting into your ‘skinny’ jeans, and compare ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos of your progress.

He also says you must eat carbs. “Everyone is afraid to eat carbs”, he says, must eat them to fuel workouts and endurance.

Have a cheat meal once a week – not a cheat day. He recommends keeping a food journal. An exercise journal is also not a bad idea.
