share with you just what goes on inside a bear's den during the winter time.  Have a watch and you'll discover that Grinder and Coola are more active than you would think!  They roll over, stretch, sit up, re-make the bed and carry out a range of other activities during the winter.  These movements keep their bones and muscles healthy and prevent any atrophy over the months of hibernation.

staff at Whole Foods provided, one with quinoa and mango and the other with beets and blue berries. So how did I make up for missing such an incredible evening of training?

shoot before and had no idea what to expect. As they began filming and doing different shots, I noticed that the producer and the camera man had what I thought to be an unspoken communication system. I found it very interesting to see how they arranged for the different shots and how simple footage can be turned into an influential and fact filled television segment. As the segment was on Helitours
