After 40, concerns like underarm softness are common, but the city’s active community is finding that simple routines can deliver real results.

A fresh wave of fitness in Strafford County centers on supporting busy locals—balancing family and work—through accessible dumbbell exercises.

Rochester’s trusted trainers highlight how dumbbells promote symmetry, coordination, and functional strength.

September has brought an energetic fishing scene to Cape Cod, especially around Falmouth, Woods Hole, and the Elizabeth Islands.

Anglers are encountering a lively mix of false albacore, bonito, and tautog. Albies have proven tricky to track this week, darting through shallow waters of western Nantucket Sound, north of Martha’s Vineyard, and the sound side of the islands.

Bonito are still plentiful near Woods Hole and off the Vineyard’s north beaches, sometimes mingling with bluefish and the occasional sea bass.

Striped bass action is ramping up, with South Cape surfcasters and Elizabeth Islands boaters landing both smaller and larger fish. Tautog activity has surged, especially around the islands and Woods Hole, with chumming green crab legs proving successful in jumpstarting the bite.

The Cape Cod Canal is buzzing with bonito, bluefish, and big striped bass—early mornings are yielding strong catches as baitfish and squid draw in predators.

The ever-changing conditions keep anglers alert and hopeful for new opportunities on the water.

📌 Quick Planner

"The beauty of Cape Cod is not just in its stunning landscapes, but in the sense of peace and tranquility it brings to those who visit."

Keeping your heart healthy is vital for overall wellness, and adding the right vegetables to your meals can make a meaningful difference.

Dark leafy greens, such as spinach and kale, are packed with antioxidants and nutrients that support heart function.

Carrots offer beta-carotene, helping to lower inflammation commonly linked to heart disease.

Tomatoes provide lycopene, which is associated with reduced blood pressure and cholesterol.

Beets boost nitric oxide levels, relaxing blood vessels and improving circulation for better blood pressure control.

Edamame delivers fiber and plant protein, aiding in lowering cholesterol for a healthier heart.

Simple swaps—like tossing spinach into smoothies, munching carrots, or adding beets to salads—bring both flavor and heart benefits.

Choosing a variety of vegetables daily is a smart step for heart health and overall well-being.

This Saturday, September 20, is the annual Canal Day at Buzzards Bay Park near the railroad bridge sponsored by the Cape Cod Canal Region Chamber of Commerce.
