March is here — a new season filled with warmer weather is just around the corner, St Patrick’s Day is just waiting to be celebrated, and the time change is almost ready to bring extra light to our days. Let’s take this new beginning to start our healthiest month yet.
Exercise of the Month
How to make March your healthiest month yet…with exercise! Here are some arm exercises to get you started.
Arms are a tough spot for everyone, especially as we grow older. Luckily, a few simple exercises can help tone up the look of that underarm skin and lead to a stronger version of yourself, too:
- Bicep Curls
- Seated Rows
- Tricep Kickbacks
- Scaption Shoulder Raises
Check out this helpful post for added detail for each of the exercises listed above, so you can easily make them a part of your daily movement routine.

Golf in Sun-Safe Style
Getting ready to hit the course? Don’t forget your Bloquv clothing for sun ray protection as you enjoy your day. There are tons of styles available, from men’s short sleeve polos and long-sleeve shirts to women’s polo dresses and capri skorts.
Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen go a long way in protecting your skin from harmful rays along with specialized clothing. When searching for the perfect pieces, think wide brims, at least 99% blocking lenses, and SPF 30 or above.

Selby Gardens
Roy Lichtenstein: Monet’s Garden Goes Pop
Selby Gardens is at it again with an exhibit you won’t want to miss. This display will showcase a few of Lichtenstein’s lesser-known pieces — each of which was inspired by Monet’s incredible works of art. Selby Gardens’ Japanese bridge, trellis, and benches will make an outstanding background for the already-beautiful display.
Rise and Run 5K with Sarasota Military Academy
Get up and at it in the early hours of Saturday, March 27th with Sarasota Military Academy’s JROTC Raider’s team. Support this group of hard-working kids and grow closer to your fitness goals at the same time. Awards are presented in each age group for an added dose of friendly competition.
You can learn more about the race and sign up here.
No matter what the year has looked like this far, take this month to become the best possible version of yourself. Enjoy the fresh Spring air and continue working toward your goals. We’re here for you every step of the way.
Sincerely,
Michele
