Episode 5 of The Active You is all about getting back outside. With winter winding down, we’re talking about the return of sunlight, why getting natural light in the morning matters, and how it helps regulate your circadian rhythm and overall energy.

We dive into the science behind blue light, what “blue hour” actually means, and why those early morning rays can make a big difference in how you feel throughout the day. We also touch on staying safe in the sun and what to know with the upcoming burn ban in Western New York.

On the fun side, we’re getting excited for everything that comes with spring. Fishing season is around the corner, golf is back (and yes, we’re still saying trail shoes make great golf shoes), and hiking season is almost here. We break down what we look for in a great trail shoe including grip, durability, comfort, and versatility, plus some upcoming models we’re excited to test.

We also recap what we ran in, featuring the Nike Vomero Premium, and talk about why it’s quickly becoming a favorite for both of us.

To round things out, we hit on a huge win for the Sabres and highlight top performances from the LA Marathon.

Perfect for your next run, walk, or time outside
