Travel Videos


One of the great things about the web as it matures is that the speed allows for normal people (like me and you) to view and even produce quality, online travel videos. As the technology has gotten cheaper, more and more travelers have been publishing video blogs (vBlogs) documenting their adventures. We're using this Travel Video page to feature vBloggers and misc clips that we've found on YouTube.


While we monitor the content posted here, something offensive may slip through. Please contact us if you spot something. Also contact us if you know a vBlogger who should be featured!


Now for some of our personal selections...

Hotel Workout: Exercise Tips from EndlessBeauty.com

Traveling doesn't have to be a vacation from your fitness. In fact, it can be a great way to combat the exhaustion and fatigue often accompanied by traveling. EndlessBeauty.com has prepared a group of 8 no-equipment exercises you can do anywhere, in the smallest amount of space and minimal amount of time. Here we demonstrate the exercises in a room at the Four Seasons Hotel. Be sure to go to the website for full report including a set of 4 accompanying rep schemes. 8 No-Equipment Exercises: 1) Pushup -- begin in a plank position, shoulders over hands, lower body to ground, push body back up to plank. Make it easier by dropping to the knees, but make sure to maintain rigid midline of the body (abs pulled in tight). Make it harder by performing a clapping pushup -- start in a plank, lower until chest touches the ground, clap hands together, land at the top of a plank Variation: Target the shoulders with decline pushups (placing feet up on a bed, chair, or bureau) 2) Burpee -- drop to plank position from standing, perform a pushup, jump feet forward to a squat, jump up and clap overhead. Used by prisoners to maintain muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness. 3) Squats -- start with feet hip-width apart, feet turned slightly outward. Lower your body until hips are below parallel, keeping core tight and weight in the heels. 4) Sit-ups -- use a pillow to support the lower back and isolate the abs. Perform a standard sit-up by laying flat on your back and drawing your belly button in toward your spine as you sit up, bringing your entire body upright and perpendicular to the floor. Your shoulders should be even with your hips at the top of the sit-up. Lower. Variation: feel free to substitute plank holds, bicycle crunches, or your favorite ab exercise for sit-ups. 5) Chataranga -- cribbing a move from yoga, you'll start in a plank with your elbows just outside your shoulders. Lower your body until elbows are even with the body, then drop your hips and press your chest up and out, into upward-facing dog pose. Hold for one second, then move into downward-facing dog pose, your legs straight and your torso folded forward into a V-shape. To connect to the next chataranga, transition from downward dog to plank and start the movement over again. 6) Lunges -- take a step forward with your right leg so that your right leg forms a 90-degree angle from thigh to knee to ankle. Your back (left) leg should also form its own 90-degree angle. It's important not to let the front knee extend over the ankle. Switch legs, stepping forward with the left leg. That's one rep. Make it harder by placing the back leg on a chair, bed, or bureau, then stepping forward into the lunge with the front leg. These single-leg squats will isolate the glutes. 7) Sprawls -- standing upright, kick your legs back to where you are almost in a plank position, then hop your feet back to your hands and stand up. Once the hip opens, you've completed one rep. These are the burpee's "easier" cousins, and really get your heart rate up. 8) Handstand -- getting upside-down is mentally and physically refreshing because it's so out of the norm. If you can, kick up into a free-standing handstand. If you need assistance, go to the wall and place your hands a little bit further than shoulder width apart on the ground, then kick your legs up onto the wall. Make it easier by putting your feet on the bed, a chair, or bureau, then forming a modified handstand with the same hand placement described above. Special thanks to the Four Seasons Hotel!

HASTILY MADE CLEVELAND TOURISM VIDEO

https://twitter.com/#!/mikepolkjr The Cleveland Tourism Board gave me 14 million dollars about 8 months ago to make a promotional video to bring people to Cleveland. As usual, I waited till the last minute and I ended up having to shoot and edit it in about an hour yesterday afternoon. I probably should have invested more time. http://mikepolkjr.com
