Hey, on the Towners.

I'm Frank Licari.

From# next level workouts to freezing my fanny off and getting into the swing of paddle# while getting to the root of wellness.

I'm chasing one of the hottest trends in travel.# It's called sweat jetting.

So, [music] let's plan our wellness vacation as we go on the town# in the Palm Beaches with me, Frank Licari.

[music] This program is brought to you by Discover# .. for more information.

We're kicking things# off in the Nora District, a new neighborhood in West Palm Beach where fitness, food,# and wellness are all coming together.

Our first stop is a workout at Sweat 440# where there's a new class every 10 minutes.

Squeeze that.

Sure.

Lean a little# more forward.

Perfect.

Pull.

Nope, you're good.

Squeeze those shoulder blades.# Sure.

You each have five more reps, all right?

muscles back there?

I feel like they may grow# already in the first 20 minutes of this workout.

What makes Sweat 440 so different?

It's# classes all day long.

It's a 40-minute workout, super efficient.

So, it's four stations# that are 10 minutes long each.

So, if you book the 9:00 a.m., station one starts# at 9:00 a.m., then there's station one at 9:10, 9:20.

So, if you're late and there's room,# you can just book into the next class.

We're going to grab these plates.

Sure.# Oh, these are really heavy.

Yeah, these are These are heavy weight 25s.

They get lighter,# heavier.

We're going to lift our heels up.

Hold steady here.

[music] We're going# to Russian twist.

And then hold center.

Pump those arms out and down.

Why are you# making it look so easy?

Everything you do, you used to eat times throughout your workout.# Four stations, three exercises each.

And you're out.

And you're out.

You got your strength# training, you got your conditioning, [music] you got functional fitness, you get it all# in 40 minutes.

Great job.

Wait.

Come on.

[music] You should change the name of this place,# actually.

You should call it sweat immediately instead of Sweat 440, cuz it did not take me any# any bit of time at all to sweat.

Lift.

[music] Perfect.

Remember to breathe.

Perfect.

Keep# saying that.

You're doing great.

Thank you.

Hypothetically, if you have somebody maybe# shouldn't even be working out cuz he's probably going to hurt himself, do you have somebody that# goes, "It's okay, pick a name, Frank.

You can You can do this."

Yes.

You're led by myself and other# coaches.

We welcome all fitness levels.

Okay.

So, what you see on the screen and the exercises that# we offer, you know, you can push yourself as hard as you want.

We have a huge variety of weights# for all of our lifting exercises, we can work with you on that.

So, we have everyone, you# know, all ages, any injury, you know, you can come in and we can work with and we have people# who are postpartum, people who are pregnant, people who are coming back from an injury or# an illness.

What about just generally out of shape?

Do you have that?

Yeah, that's perfect.# And that's it.

You can drop those weights.

That's it, right?

[laughter] Great job.

This# is great.

Really having a lot of fun.

Yeah, you're doing You're crushing it.

Sure.

I just put# my body to the test, and now it's time to refuel.

In Noora, I'm finding out why [music] Cellar's# Juice Bar is blending more than smoothies, it's bringing flavors together.

How do you come up with# the menu?

Do you and your family sit around and Yeah, how's that work?

It's also hearing# out what the customers want.

Just listening to customers [music] and then pivoting through# the years, and now we kind of figured out what our sweet spot is, which is what you see now.

We# have great [music] coffee program.

We do juices, smoothies, bowls, breakfast, lunch.

I like that.# It's kind of like a an all-day cafe, so to speak.

First of all, tell me about this van.

So,# you imported from Japan?

Yes, sir.

And how do you use this for delivery?

Everything.# For catering.

It's a moving billboard.

We've been open for only 10 years, but and to# be based where we were born and raised Yeah.

and to have the support of the community, it's we# wouldn't be where we are right now without them.

Plain and simple.

If I come in here first# time, never been in Celis, what's the go-to?

For the juice, I'd get the Haterade.

That's# fresh watermelon juice, fresh lemon juice, and strawberry electrolytes.

Like that.

This is# called the chocolate funk.

This is called the chocolate funk with vanilla protein.

Got it.# Yeah, so we pre-measure all of our smoothies, so we get the right amount of So, I just You# just throw that right in there.

and there?

We're going to grab the almond milk, with one# scoop of that.

Cacao.

Raw cacao powder.

Full?

Right in here?

Yep.

Got it in there.

Just one Just# one soaked date.

One whole date.

All right.

Kabam.

How's the funk?

It's fantastic.

You know what# you're doing.

Tell me about the run club.

So, the run club, we started that in 2020.

Uh my younger# brother, Camilo and I, we started uh running in 2019, and we just wanted to do a club.

Uh we# thought it would correlate beautifully with the business, and it would help kind of cross-promote# it.

And now we have over 200 people that meet every Wednesday at the Great Lawn and on the end# of Clematis.

Wow.

Now, family business.

Yes, sir.

Talk to me about working with your bros,# because seem like you're all kind of, you know, balanced, but who's the one that needs to be,# you know, cut down a peg?

Come on.

Next question.

The community and the business is bigger than# ourselves.

We have to We have to stand by that.

You know, when you got your brothers, you# know, in your corner and supporting you, rooting you on, and I'm rooting them on,# it's What What What more could I ask for?

No pressure, but if you want to create a signature# juice that's named You know what I mean?

It's no big deal, but if you want to do that, I just# want you to know I'm offering that.

Okay.

The Palm Beaches is typically known# for outdoor [music] adventures, but now there are even more ways to stay fit# all year round.

I'm hitting the court with a world-class coach to try one of the fastest# growing sports in the [music] nation, paddle.

We want to use not just our hand and our arms,# we want to use our entire body and legs.

All right?

More of a push forward kind of situation# here.

And not bad.

Not bad.

Not bad.

There we go.

Paddle?

Padel?

Paddle?

Paddle?

Really, it's# not padel?

Listen.

Tomato, tomato.

Ready?

Yeah.

Beauty!

Hey, we got a swing.

Nice!

Here we go.# Basic rules.

Just like in tennis, the ball has to bounce inside of the square.

Same concept.# After the serve, these lines mean nothing.

Okay?

In order for the ball to be in, the ball# must bounce before it hits any of the walls.

Hey, we got a natural here.

Let's go.

Almost!

Obviously, it looks like tennis.# It looks like [music] squash.

It looks like pickleball.

There's the mix.

The way that# the game is played is very similar to tennis.

The cool thing that paddle brings [music] is# that Y axis, the the walls.

It gives you a different dimension, and it makes the sport# very interactive.

When we're up at the net and we don't let the ball bounce, it's called the# volley.

Think of your the racket pointing up, just rotate your shoulders and push in front of# you.

Here we go.

Nice.

Woo!

Bringing the heat.

You get hooked.

You get addicted.

It's# It's fun to play.

It's easy enough to play.

Power isn't the focus in this# game.

It's control and awareness.

Yes.

You are allowed to hit off your own wall.# You're allowed to boast off a wall just like you do in squash.

in squash.

So, you can do this.# Oh, okay.

Get it over.

Here we go.

Nice.

Oh, what?

There you go.

That was totally my accident, by# the way.

My My Great point.

Let's do it again.

Yes.

Oh, we got a natural here.

Here at the# Replay Club where we're at, we do work with a membership base.

You don't have to be a member to# come and play.

We're really focusing on building the community here.

We don't just offer paddle,# as well.

We have a full gym, we have a spa, we have a yoga studio, and right across the# street we have seven indoor pickleball courts.

It's awesome.

You got a little sweat in now.# Oh, yeah.

Totally, man.

Well done.

I love it.

Sweat equity is about more than just breaking a# sweat.

It's about experiences that move you.

Next, I'm taking my workout outside to one of the most# beautiful backdrops, the Intracoastal Waterway, with the North Palm Beach Rowing Club.

You started# doing this when you were 60?

60.

Talk to me about how rowing has affected your life.

Wow, it's been# something that's kept me fit.

And it's something I love doing.

I come [music] here willingly four# or five days a week, normally.

Wow.

I've raced internationally as well as nationally.

[music]# Really?

In our age group.

We can row until we drop over.

Yeah, you said 9 to 90, which is great,# cuz I fit right in the middle of that.

[laughter] Let's say I've never done it.

Which I've never# done it.

Is there like a beginner course?

First of all, we are [music] teaching the mechanical rowing# on the land.

You got to keep your arms straight and push the legs first.

Reach out and catch.# Arms, body, and then your seat.

There you go.

It's like one of those motions where, you know,# repetitiveness matters.

Yes.

It's basically [snorts] do this over and over.

Repeat 200# times and call it a race.

Right.

And ready, row.

I have two chapters as a rower, [music] as a# coach.

I'm so happy to help kids to make them like state champions.

Oof, wheels# almost fell off there, guys.

There's muscle memory.

It's like trying to learn# to play the piano and do a workout.

Got you.

Oh, you guys weren't even rowing?

Oh.

This is# like a rocket ship.

I heard they really You're helping youth all the time.

Is# that a big part of the mission here?

It's a very big part and really does change# lives.

There's no doubt about it.

Sure.

It's a very high accession rate [music] for kids# who row getting into good colleges.

We do it with the kids, primarily for kids, [music] but we have# a masters adult program as well.

Ready, all.

Row.

Even my seat is tired of me.

Look, if you watch it from afar, I mean, what# are we doing here?

Josh, what are we doing?

We're just rowing, right?

But there's a there's a# method to this madness.

Do you guys want to race?

1 minute right now.

Hey, Daddy.

First race.

All right.# First race.

All right.

Ready all?

Row.

After pushing my body to the limit, it's# time to find a little balance.

Next, I'm stepping on the mat at Hamsa Power Yoga,# where movement, mindfulness, and community come together.

Begin this moment of transition# from the outside world, all the distractions, to the inner world.

The way that we can# access that part inside of us is by bringing awareness back.

[music] Draw your chin here, right# shoulder.

And then lift your chin like a rainbow.

Draw your chin towards your front shoulder.# We had both been teachers for a long time, and we both loved teaching.

We loved sharing the# practice in that way.

Really, we had a friend who believed in us, [music] and it took a few weeks# for us to be like, we can do this.

You know, we can do this.

We are strong.

We are powerful.

We# love people.

We love community.

We love uplifting others really because like that's what friends# do, and yoga for us is all about community and uplifting everyone and making everyone feel safe.# Inhale, the tailbone lifts, the belly drops, the heart draws forward.

Take your right hand# to your right thigh.

Reach your left arm up.

You can take your index to your thumb of your left# hand.

Power yoga.

Yes.

What's power yoga?

It's a take on Vinyasa yoga, which is breath of movement.# It's more of like a constant moving type practice.

Power adds like lunges and push-ups and just# some things that get your athletic heart rate up a little bit.

More of a workout.

that to# it, keeping the yoga element.

Press your head into the palm of your hand.

Open up through the# shoulder.

Inhale.

And then three crunches.

Right elbow to left elbow, draw it in.

Pull the right# hip back.

Power Vinyasa does give this freedom for self-expression.

And now in a child's# pose, take a few breaths.

My child is tired.

Reach the right arm up and bring your right hand# to the inside of your left foot.

Lift your right knee.

Lengthen the heart forward.

Why [music] am# I sweating so much?

You guys do retreats?

Yeah, we do a yearly retreat in the spring.# We've been to Costa Rica, Mexico, Canouan.

are real retreats.

It's a reminder that yoga is# so much more than the yoga postures.

Mhm.

It's hard to make friends as adults.

[music] Yeah.

So,# finding people that share a passion for something, people form really, really strong friendships and# bonds.

Lift up to cobra.

Everybody kind of knows each other.

Absolutely.

Because there are people# who come in here who have never felt safe or seen in another maybe fitness or wellness space.# I want them to walk in and feel a big exhale.

They know me and they know what I need.

That's# what I want.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

come.

There are times the road to wellness# leads you someplace [music] unexpected.

I'm here at Gratitude Garden Farm, an oasis# in western Palm Beach County, where they've turned a story of healing into a place of# connection.

With a name like Gratitude Farms, I'm going to say that there's a amazing story# behind this place.

You are 100% correct with that.

I was in corporate America working uh got very,# very ill.

Uh had a life-threatening uh illness.

I realized something was missing and then I made# a decision to completely reverse my life around by detoxification, by growing my own food.

I started# gardening for my own personal use, for me and my wife, so to heal ourselves, right?

[music] And# uh I started creating raised beds in my backyard.

And it's just been uh 14-year journey between me# and my wife um [music] building this farm out.

You know, I was spared and that's another reason# why, you know, we called the farm Gratitude Garden.

We were very grateful for another# [music] chance.

And then in the last 3 years, we've opened up what our true passion was, which# was the retreat center, which enables people to learn these these little things that we've learned# over the last 14.

[music] So, it's not just Yeah.

what we can do.

Other people that have talents# can come in here and have a beautiful space to be able to teach what their knowledge.

I will give# a gardening class on my wife will give a botanical medicine class, and then my chef will give a# cooking class on how to cook mushrooms.

So, people know they're on the farm, they feel it, and they# they get to incorporate that in their retreat.

We do farm-to-table dinners, and people get to# experience what it's like to eat food that has been picked an hour or 2 hours ago.

Amazing.# [music] Jamaican strawberry tree right here, sugarcane.

Try that.

It's a It tastes like# uh uh garlic and onions.

Taste that.

Wow.

So, that's called society garlic.

We're growing like# different varieties of kale, different varieties of like peppers and lettuces and everything# you can imagine, really.

Tomatoes, but heirloom variety.

We grow like [music] 50 different# varieties of vegetables during the season.

This is a blue oyster and a golden oyster.

So,# these are like gold They're called gourmet blues, and these are lighter, fluffier golden# oyster.

What are they growing out of?

So, these are blocks that we make out of oak# wood and organic soil holes.

It's about a about a month 6-week period# from beginning to end.

Wow.

Wow.

So, this is one of our domes.

We have nine# of these domes, and we They're perfect for two people.

The design of this was what?

built the# entire place, and my wife designed the inside.

You built every one of these?

Yes.

But, I mean,# I have I had help.

I didn't do it by myself.

But, it.

You can be grateful, but but you're# also giving.

[music] That's what part of what makes me happy is even if I'm not running the# retreat, I see the people from day one and then the day they leave and I see the transformation.# [music] And for me, that brings me so much joy.

From the farm to the table, our journey# continues.

I'm at Aioli where I'm about to get my hands dirty and figure out# why sourdough is having such a moment.

These are sourdough bowls that we have.

We'll get# some baskets.

When did sourdough become the thing?

Well, sourdough was always a thing.# Forever and that's what we ate as humans and now it's [music] back because people# are demanding for better quality bread, better quality food.

The lactobacillus bacteria# that is sourdough.

Say it again.

Lactobacillus.

That's the bacteria that sourdough actually# is.

It [music] breaks down wheat for you.

So, when your body eats it, it's pre-digested and it's# easier on your stomach versus commercial yeast.

Pick it up.

Picking it up here.

Okay.# Flip it over.

Yep.

Flip it over.

And then we're going to go 10 and two.

10 and# two.

Make that triangle.

Perfect.

Yep.

Can I do this at home?

Can I Is it doable?

yeah.# And we do classes, too.

And I encourage that for people to understand how to make sourdough.

Like# to make it in your home, it's the most satisfying, gratifying thing you could ever do is make# something like that and feed your family with it.

Fold it into each other.

Yep.

Yep.

Just# like that.

You got the batard shape.

Yep.

Tuck.

Tuck.

Yep.

Like that.

Seam is# going to go on the bottom.

Yep.

[music] Our sourdough is a minimum of 72 hours.

So, we# do 72 to 96-hour ferment.

So, we do it the slow, old way.

The longer you can let it go,# the more flavor it's going to have.

Okay, so that's the key.

Okay.

We take the the mother,# the starter.

Yeah.

What gives life to the bread.

Yeah.

We feed it.

We let it grow.

Then we make# dough.

We let that rise.

And then we take it and shape it.

We put it in these baskets and then# we put it in our walk-in cooler and let it sit for 24 to 48 hours after it's in the baskets.

All# your bread is baked in here for your restaurant?

So, this is our bread department over here.

Yeah,# this is where we bake the bread, and all we do is bake bread over here for a week.

Now, that's# that's rare.

There there restaurants don't have bread departments.

This is like a rare thing.

is# like when I fell down the sourdough rabbit hole, and they're like, "Okay, we need more room just to# make sourdough."

And it still to this day blows my mind cuz it's water, flour, Isn't it crazy?

That's# it.

That's all it is.

And then with our hands, we're going to kind of pull it towards us.

How# am I doing?

You're you're rolling it a little bit.

Okay, yeah.

So, you're rolling it.

Yes.

You# want it to stay and pull.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got you.

Yes.

Look at my bâtard.

Huh?

Yeah,# look at that.

That's a bâtard.

That's perfect.

that.

That's perfect.

All right.

Shifts start at# 3:00 a.m.

You're coming in tomorrow?

I'm about to experience two extremes, both designed to help me# on my wellness journey.

I'm at Sweat [music] Houz in Palm Beach Gardens, where hot and cold therapy# combine to create a luxurious recovery experience.

I think wellness is becoming more and more and# more of a focus.

When you think about like cold plunges, infrared saunas, vitamin C showers, and# then our red light therapy, a lot of people are now pushing themselves physically, and they're# looking for that recovery aspect cuz it's part of the of the the formula for success.

And# then we get the others, they come here for their 1 hour to kind of reset, recover.

So, that# whole relaxation part is crucial.

I love that.

Once you do a session, you're# going to feel the benefit.

At Sweat Houz, you get a private luxury suite for# a full hour.

That hour is fully equipped with an infrared sauna, a vitamin C shower, and a cold# plunge, and you have a full entertainment system, so you can like unplug, relax, listen to# music, and while I'm doing it.

Yeah.

right.

So, we're going to start you out with the infrared# sauna.

My recommendation?

Just switch off, disconnect.

Take 35 minutes to be by yourself# with yourself, right?

Low and slow for a good 35 minutes.

Great.

Just disconnect, unwind, relax.# Oh, wow.

Yeah, it is hot.

It is hot in here.

It's low and slow, so it's comfortable.

It's like 140# to 175, and you pick where you're at.

The muscles relax, it's incredible.

Your cortisol levels drop,# and they're measurable.

See, I didn't know that.

That's That's okay.

So, like getting hormonal# therapy is too.

Wow.

All right, guys.

Time to rinse off.

Then you do a vitamin C shower.

Like a# a mini facial for the whole body.

You can like hit the toe.

[music] And then we come to this bad boy.# Yes, sir.

Just relax, focus on your breath, and uh it's kind of like meditating.

You're going to# You're going to have an out-of-body experience.

I'm already I'm already thinking about it.

I'm# already having an out-of-body experience.

How cold is cold plunge?

That's a very good question,# right?

Is it going to shock the body?

Yes, and that's the point.

Okay.

Right?

So, when you# go into a cold plunge, you're going to reset your nervous system.

All right.

It takes a little# getting used to.

It is shocking.

This is the moment of truth.

But after you experience it, the# benefits that you get from it, from two, three, four minutes in the cold, Yeah.

the benefits# [music] aren't the same.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh my god.

Just every time you breathe out, go lower until you can just# relax into that space.

Okay.

[laughter] He's right, though.

Uh after about 30# seconds, your life flashes before your eyes.

The The sauna, fantastic.

Shower, easy.

Cold plunge,# completely different story.

I'm frozen solid.

The wellness conversation is definitely growing.# And this November, some of the biggest names in fitness, health, and longevity will converge# upon the Palm Beaches at the Eudaimonia Summit.

This multi-day experience will bring# together wellness experts, innovators, and people just looking to learn more about# movement, nutrition, recovery, and performance.

Sometimes a wellness journey is measured# one step at a time.

Athletes from all over the world head [music] to the Palm Beaches every# year for the US Polo ASSN Palm Beaches Marathon.

What makes this one so special?

Obviously the# the the the Palm Beaches scenery.

First of all, what makes it special is this, right?

I mean,# look at there, a fantastic view.

It's a It's one of the most iconic views in the world.

The# route goes up the Intracoastal and then down the Intracoastal.

Yes?

You're getting# people that run and their arms are everywhere.

Is there a technique?

Are we Are we talking# Are we I want you to notice Are we talking balls of the feet?

Definitely want to do a# rotation through through the foot.

Yeah, we We want to utilize the energy that# we have, not pushing down onto the pavement.

Heel-to-toe rotation through rotation# through your stride progression.

Is the energy up?

Are we Are we running up?

Are we running forward?# So, we're kind of we're bringing the head forward.

Our race in '16 has continued to grow# tremendously.

We were up close to 6,000 runners last year.

What?

Really?

We are# a wonderful, great, [music] middle-size race with one of the greatest 5Ks, 10Ks,# half marathons, corporate [music] relays, and of course the main marathon itself.

I've# never run a marathon, okay?

I find it it's like a If you're going to suffer through a marathon, you# might as well do it in this weather, right?

we forget about the charitable aspect.

You know,# each runner has an opportunity to raise money for a list of charities that participate with us.# How often are we running now to get ready for a full-on marathon?

Everybody's different.

Okay.

But# uh for me, I'm usually running 5 to 6 days a week.

And uh usually right before [music] taper# time, which is 2 weeks before the marathon, you taper down.

Okay.

So you're fresh# on You're fresh.

Yeah, exactly.

Uh usually around 60 miles a week.

60 miles a week?# Yeah.

I'm not quite sure I drive 60 miles a week.

When you run with other people, it [music] helps# pull you along.

Palm Beach Road Runners has these these pace runners.

So if you want to run a 3-hour# marathon or a 4-hour marathon, everyone's a winner when you're running.

It doesn't matter if you# cross the line first or [music] last.

If you finish a marathon, talking about a commitment.# We almost want to collide like we're [music] ice skating across.

Of course.

So knees bent, nice,# okay.

Yeah, arms pumped in.

Arms are pumping.
