DOMESTIC GODDESSby Rebecca Teagarden

ALL THIS TALK of physical fitness has the Goddess abso-

lutely exhausted. Goddess does her very best never to

schvitz. And so, sweaty endeavors aside, let us begin with

a nice lie down, shall we?

To run, sun,pack up or liedown, weve gotyou covered

TAKE A LOAD OFF

We can do that quitenicely in this, the Double-Nest Hammock from

Eagles Nest Outfitterswith, wait for it, theInsect Shield. This treesofa for two is treated withPermethrin insect repellent that,the ENO folks assure us, is safeand wards off insects (and bythat we mean ticks, chiggers,mites and mosquitoes, oh, my!)for up to six months of exposure

to the elements. Oh, sure, theyhave less-expensive hammocksthan this $84.95 model. Butthis one holds you and yourfeller.

The hammock is easier tomaneuver with the SlapStrapsuspension system ($19.95).Hitches to any solid anchor. Ofcourse, you could upgrade to theSlapStrapPRO suspension system($24.95): 2 feet longer, two extraattachment loops, and 4 ounceslighter. Its America; your choice.Check out eaglesnestoutfittersinc,amazonor rei, all .com. for versions ofthe hammock.

LOUNGE OR POSE

IN MANLY STYLE

Heres a previously untapped market:

yoga clothes for men. Its high time wetapped that. And if one of the reasons

you cant get your guy down on themat is that he doesnt have a snappyoutfit, try this combo: prAnas JD Shorts

JD Shorts

and Nautilus Raglan HeatheredT-shirt.

Cotton-poly blend shirt

($35) with raglan sleeves(makes it easy to strikethat Warrior 1 pose). Plus,

its not too yoga-geeky, so hecould wear it for a b&b (burger

and beer) after class. Comes in fourcolors. The next-to-skin shortsresist wrinkles, wick moisture anddry quickly. Ooo. $40.

Fun fact: prAnas founder is

named Beaver Theodosakis. Otherfun fact: prAna is ancient Sanskrit

for breath, life and vitality of thespirit, in case you find yourself onJeopardy or somethin.

The guy next to moi at HQ, avery snappy dresser, adores hisprAna lounge pants. He likes that

he can wear them kinda all thetime. He does not even do yogaand was stunned to discover yogaclothes for men when stumblingupon the prAna store in Portland.Go toprana.comor REI.

LIKE THE STOCK MARKET,

BUT MORE FUN

Were up, were down, wereup, were . . . How can one notsnap to for a company mottosuch as: The Worlds SafestTrampoline?

Springfree Trampoline.You got it, no springs.Superstrong, flexiblefiberglass rods mounted

beneath the jumping surface. FlexiNet SafetyEnclosure System cushions falls, returnsbouncers to the mat (not an add-on, comes

with each). SoftEdge System maximizessafety around the edge, making it over 30times more shock absorbent than framepads. Also, frame sits well beneath jumpingsurface, away from jumpers.

Got the 2010 Product of the Year Award,United States. And the 2011 Parent TestedParent ApprovedSeal of Approval.

The tramps

are the productof 14 years ofinjury-preventionresearch. Why?Because more than100,000 kids inthis country go tothe hospital each

year with trampo-line injuries. Why? For hitting three things:ground, springs, hard frame. We have noneof those, says trampoline professional JodySise.

She also says that 10 minutes of jumpingis equal to a 30-minute run. Get your cardioup and on.
