If you are going for a tropical vacation this summer, one of the things you might be most excited about is the opportunity to do some snorkeling in a beautiful location, but while snorkeling can be a lot of fun, it can also be unsafe if you do not make sure you are taking the right approach. When snorkeling, it is easy to stay safe, as long as you are aware of a few specific factors. here are some of the most important factors of staying safe.

Remember that this is snorkeling! When you get out on a coral reef, it is easy to forget that you are snorkeling and not scuba diving; remember that the ocean is often a lot deeper than it looks, and you should be careful to make sure you are not diving so deep that you will be unable to hold your breath all the way back up!

Stay close to land or to your boat. Once you get out there and start exploring, you can quickly drift much further from land or from your boat than you should, and you will not end up realizing it until you are tired and start looking around for a place where you can rest!

Remember that you are not at home. As you explore, you might be tempted to poke around in areas that are not there for you to poke around. The ocean is not your home, but it is home to a number of creatures you don’t want to mess with, so you should always plan to keep your hands to yourself.

Avoid sea grass: Everyone wants to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling, but while sea turtles hang out around sea grass, so do a lot of other creatures such as sharks and barracudas that you do not want to see up close!

By keeping these things in mind, you will be in much better shape when it comes to staying safe on your snorkeling adventure!

Doing Rock Climbing Safely


Being young and athletic, rock climbing can be enjoyable and it can also be a great way to work out but if you do not take the proper approach to rock climbing, it can also be a dangerous activity, which is why you should make sure you know all the proper precautions to take in order to enjoy a safe rock climbing experience. After all no one wants to get into any form of unnecessary injury or mishap.

The first thing you should know about rock climbing is that you should always bring a crash pad with you, and you should always go climbing with a spotter; even though rock climbing might seem like a great time to “get away on your own,” you should never do this, as it can be very unsafe. 

You should also make sure that the area where you are going is regularly used by other rock climbers, as this will indicate that the area is, in fact, safe; if an area is rarely used for climbing, you could end up with loose rocks or slick rock faces that will increase the likelihood of injury. 

Another important part of safe rock climbing is wearing the right equipment; the pants or shorts you wear should allow for a great range of motion so that you are not restricted during your climb, you should carry climbing chalk to keep your fingers from becoming slick, and you should make sure you have a good pair of rock climbing shoes. 

By making these preparations, you will have all the things in place you need for a safe and successful day of climbing, but you will still need to make sure that you are careful while climbing; never rush through a route, but be sure to always maintain three points of contact with the wall, and test each rock before you use it to make sure it is safe and stable. After all, the last thing you want to do is take all the proper precautions to ensure your safety while climbing, and then to hurt yourself because you stopped taking precautions as soon as you began the actual act of climbing!

Be A Tacfit Warrior

TACFIT Warrior program is based on actual mental and physical routines “Flow Coach” Scott Sonnon is using right now to train Israeli counter-terrorism, SEALs and secret service, American special ops personnel, bodyguards to top Government Leaders across the globe, US federal agents, firemen, law enforcement agencies and MMA fighters. 

For years you've seen Tacfit reviews in fitness and combat magazines and journals with specially designed workout courses about high-level sports psychology, hypnosis, visualization techniques that supposedly produce champions.  Well, wouldn't you like to have the Tacfit workout program Coach Sonnon used to win FOUR gold medals in Las Vegas, against competition ten years younger and 100 pounds heavier?

Don't think the mental aspect is important: well, here's a clue for you, a little hint, a secret Scott has NEVER admitted publicly until now:

During the ten months of intensive training for the World Martial Arts Games, Coach Sonnon only sparred TWICE.  

That's right. Look at his performance, and nobody would believe he wasn't knocking heads every day.  And the secret?   Much of his combat preparation was mental.  And we're giving away all of the secrets that he and his sports psychology coach, Master Hypnotist Steven Barnes used to create this unique victory in this, TACFIT Warrior, the first complete Athletic/Tactical Body/Mind success system on the planet.

The Tacfit Warrior Program

The Tacfit Warrior program is a rigorous fitness plan that's based on the work of Scott Sonnon, a physical trainer and martial arts specialist who has worked with various military units from around the world.

In the Tacfit Warrior program, he joined forces with Steven Barnes, another martial arts fighter, author, and a mental coach. In the program, Scott Sonnon mostly teaches the physical part on martial art and unarmed combat while Barnes trains you mentally.

The goal of the program is to teach you some of the techniques, both physical and psychological, that can make you a stronger, fitter, more physically able and capable person able to face and take on the challenges in most difficult and testing situations.

In a way, the program does play too much on the military angle. You won't become a soldier by doing these workouts. Military training is about more than just fitness. However, the workout style which Scott Sonnon teaches in Tacfit Warrior is very different than what you normally see or do in the gym.
The workouts involve much more movement and bodyweight functionality. The goal is to make you as fit and capable as possible, not to help you just lose fat and tone your body (although this will likely happen as a natural result of the workouts).

The mental coaching part of the plan may help you become more focused and certain of achieving your goals. You may find yourself more determined and better able to withstand the challenges of this fitness plan and better meet other challenges in your life.
