Moving on Up

2008 Health and Wellness Guide

Too hot to do anything? You can still do your body good. Zone out with a little physical activity and a big dose of pampering.

Crank It Up
Enroll in Kranking classes at Sports Club/LA (4 Avery Street; 617-375-8200). It’s like cycling with your arms, which sounds only slightly more bizarre than it looks.

Rise with the Sun
When your chi calls, answer with early morning yoga oceanside. Yogapower Studio instructors lead free sessions on the lawn of InterContinental Boston (Saturdays throughout July and August, 7:30-8:30 a.m., 510 Atlantic Avenue; 617-747-1000).

Nurture Your Roots
After a day in the pool, treat your mane to an herbal glaze at Daryl Christopher (37 Newbury Street; 617-424-0250) or the Cellophanes gloss treatment at James Joseph Salon (30 Newbury Street; 617-266-7222).

Toast to Good Health
Perk up with Grezzo’s kombucha cocktails (69 Prince Street; 857-362-7288) or chill with granitas at Dante (40 Edwin H. Land Boulevard, Cambridge; 617-497-4200). The Campari grapefruit concoction might bolster your immune system, but one bite of the bourbon and you’ll forget you ever cared.
