There’s a new trend in the Nashville gym scene and you can thank Netflix…. sort of. When Netflix started sending DVD rentals directly into the home they changed the way folks rented videos. That left a lot of major video rental chains closing up shop. However, those were big storefronts that shouldn’t go to waste. Enter Workout Anytime. This is a chain of new gyms that have moved into the empty warehouse type video stores and converted them over to a gym with all the bells and whistles. The big hook here is that these gyms are open 24 hours a day. That means you can literally workout whenever you want to.
To be honest, that was probably the reason why you invested in home gym equipment or treadmill in the first place. You just wanted to have the option to workout whenever it was convenient to your schedule. Unfortunately, there are too many distractions in the home that get in the way of working out. Between pets, kids, cooking, cleaning, homework and all sorts of other things you never make it onto the treadmill. This is why signing up for a gym membership is a proactive choice. It practically forces you to make time to exercise outside of the home without distractions.
Belonging to a gym also allows you to change up your routine. Instead of being locked down to a treadmill for cardio you can chose from a wide array of machines each targeting a different muscle group but all delivering the same result: you getting into better shape. Most gyms offer a terrific assortment of aerobic workout classes that will have you working up a huge sweat. And you can’t discount the kind of social networking you can do at the gym. Yes, you’re there to focus on your routine but that doesn’t mean you can’t strike up a conversation with someone at the juice bar or before your spin class. You just can’t do that at home staring at your four walls. Now that there is a gym that is open 24 hours you’ll still be able to work out whenever you want.
To begin this new regime you’ll want to definitely get rid of the old machine. Don’t you think you can make better use of the space that the treadmill is taking up? What about all that other exercise equipment? You should have that all tossed out at the same time. You can when you hire Junk King Nashville to haul off all that heavy machinery.

Tennessee has the dubious distinction of being the state with the most active landfills in all the country. In fact, back in 1994 there were only 12 construction waste landfills while today there are 80. The cost of collecting, processing and hauling solid waste is around $160 a ton. That adds up to $1.4 billion in trash collection costs just for the Nashville area. Clearly, increasing recycling efforts could bring those numbers down but recycling also has another positive impact on the economy: it creates more jobs. That is according to a study conducted by the College of Charleston. They crunched the numbers and found out that if Tennessee could recycle just 4 million tons or half of what goes to the landfills the state could create around 6,000 jobs. That’s a terrific goal to shoot for.
On the long list of preventable illness are heat-related injuries. When the temperatures begin to rise it’s natural to want to go outdoors and enjoy the sun. However, the hotter it gets the more risk there is for heat stroke. Over exposure to any element is not going to be good for the body. What’s ironic is that one of the signs of a heat stroke is when a person stops sweating. Our bodies are wired to handle certain levels of extreme heat by generating sweat and cooling off. Yes, we sweat because it’s hot that’s actually a good thing. With the record setting temperatures occurring around Nashville many elderly and very young folks will find themselves at greater risk of a heat related injury. Here’s what you can do to stay cool.
As a word, “junk” has gotten a pretty bad rap. We all know we’re not supposed to eat junk food. A junked car can’t be driven. Pretty much anything that can be tossed away is junk. There is one business that should make you rethink the word “junk” and that would be 
How much room do you really need? That’s the question facing many Nashville residents as they consider whether or not to downsize their living arrangements. There have even been some dedicated downsizers who pledge to simply cut everything by half. That counts for their car and their house! The immediate benefit of downsizing is a surplus of cash in your wallet. Not only would you be saving money on mortgage payments or rent but you’d also be spending a lot less on all your electric, water and heating bills. If downsizing means moving out of your home but you’re just not ready for that big of a leap, you might consider taking in a boarder or roommate.
It’s summer in Nashville and that means lots of visitors will be streaming through as part of their vacation. Whether they are just making a one-day stop or staying for a week, Nashville has become an extremely popular destination for thousands of folks. That’s good news for our economy.

Recycling in Nashville takes on many forms. There is the homeowners program that includes weekly pick up of recyclable materials but the concept of recycling extends far beyond the home. Many businesses are also proud to institute their own recycling programs with an emphasis on sustainability.
It’s not hard to think of scrap metal as the original “recycled” material. In fact, they were recycling metal way before anyone was even using the word “recycle.” During WWII the entire country joined together to support what was called “the war effort.” While it might be hard to understand today, back then the government actually instituted a rationing program. You had to get coupons from the government to buy coffee, sugar, gas, meat, cheese, butter and pretty much anything made of metal. The reason was that the bulk of all our nation’s resources were going to the war effort to support the troops. To get these coupons, you had to go before your local rationing board, in person and tell them how many people were in your family. There was even a ban on auto racing and sightseeing. It was all about conserving precious fuel.
In Nashville, state lawmakers recently sent a bill that authorizes the removal of the Occupy Nashville camp to Governor Bill Haslam for his signature. This would outlaw all unauthorized camping on public grounds. The key word there is “unauthorized.” No one wants to outlaw protests; it just makes practical sense that there be permits utilized by protesters that might infringe on common areas used by the general public.
