can be daunting for anyone who is just
starting a workout program, recovering
from an injury or surgery, or packing a
little more weight than ideal.

So I’m here to preach the gospel of
LISS: low-intensity steady state.

LISS exercise is any repetitive motion
for 30-45 minutes at 50-60 percent of
your maximum heart rate (MHR), ac-
cording to sports medicine specialist
and physical therapist Kevin McGuin-
ness, who practices at Washington Or-
thopaedics & Sports Medicine. Typically,
this refers to such activities as walking,
swimming, or even jogging or biking at
an easy pace.

“LISS is any activity that gets your
heart rate up just a little bit and for a lon-
ger period of time,” McGuinness says. If
it sounds familiar, that’s not surprising:
Before the recent popularity of HIIT,
McGuinness says, low-intensity exercise
was simply called “cardio.”

McGuinness says in addition to im-
proving your mood and cognition and
helping you control your blood sugar,
“LISS is one of the best ways to maintain
a level of fitness,” McGuinness says.

Assuming your physician has ap-
proved your fitness plan, here’s how to
practice LISS exercise. Calculate your
maximum heart rate (MHR) by sub-
tracting your age from the number 220.
For example, if you are 49 years old, your
MHR would be about 171 beats per min-
ute. To stay within the 50 to 60 percent
range, then, you would want to keep
your MHR between 85 and 115 bpm, Mc-
Guinness says.

There are plenty of devices that help
you monitor your heart rate, but you can
also do this by taking your pulse and
counting the beats for 60 seconds (or for
15 seconds and multiplying by four). Or
see if you can hold your end of a conver-
sation comfortably. If you can, you’re
working within the optimal range for
LISS.

LISS is a great option for first-time
exercisers, McGuinness says, especially
those who might be intimidated or lim-
ited in their ability to engage in higher-
intensity exercise.

tom-crafted wood closet shelving is
stained to match the wood floors, a
tedious task, but one that elevates the
shelves from mere utility to elements
of design. The dining room, open to
the grand hallway and kitchen, con-
tains additional custom woodwork in
the form of elegant wainscoting, col-
umns and ceiling.

The living room extends from the
main corridor to the rear window
wall, where double glass doors lead
to the spacious covered porch and
the pool deck. Boundary landscaping
creates a pleasant privacy buffer.

The massive great room features a
coffered ceiling with recessed light-
ing, and a window wall with access to
the spacious side porch; with graceful
columns and ample space for seat-
ing, the porch is an inviting space in
which to relax and catch a glimpse of
the river.

Off the great room, past the pantry,
are the laundry room and what Berk-
shire Hathaway listing agent Chip
Landers calls the sand room (“Be-
cause this is Florida”). The pantry
area also leads to the 3-bay garage,
which includes a golf cart parking
space and custom, wind-resistant ga-
rage doors. The floor is well protected
with industrial-strength Epoxy.

The kitchen, meanwhile, is a chef’s
dream-come-true and a would-be
chef’s inspiration, destined to be
a favorite family gathering space,
household planning HQ and Party
Mission Control. This foodie paradise
is equipped with commercial-grade
stainless steel Jenn-Air appliances.
The huge island sports a handsome
butcher block countertop, breakfast
bar seating, lots of storage and an
under-counter, drawer-design micro-
wave oven.

Sixty-inch-tall cabinets are topped
with lighted upper cubby cabinets for
showcasing art or tchotchkes. This
extra-high, wood-beaded cabinetry is
a washed gray stain, as is the tongue-
in-groove kitchen ceiling.

Treasure Coast Sotheby’s partners with Maine broker

Treasure Coast Sotheby’s broker Mi-

direct from Vero to Portland. Those
flights are the tipping point.”

The partnership is with Legacy Prop-
erties Sotheby’s International Realty,
which is owned by Chris Lynch and has
five offices along a 110-mile stretch of
the Maine Coast between Kennebunk-
port and Camden, all located in pictur-
esque seaside towns with strong luxury
markets that regularly appear on lists
of the prettiest and most pleasant plac-
es in the state.

According to figures provided by
Lynch, Legacy sells more homes priced
at $400,000 and up, and more homes
priced at $1 million and higher, than
any other brokerage in Maine, by a
wide margin.

Legacy’s main office in Portland is
less than two miles from Portland In-
ternational Jetport. Elite offers offering
one-way flights to Vero for the Jetport
for $199. Lynch, who lives 15 minutes
away, says he can leave his house 45
minutes before takeoff and make the
flight with no problem.

The partnership between the two So-
theby’s brokerages came about when
Lynch and his wife, “who will soon be
empty-nesters,” decided to buy a Flor-
ida home. The couple had a group of
friends with ties to Vero Beach and The
Moorings Yacht and Country Club.

They first laid eyes on Vero in Janu-
ary, and Lynch says “we felt very much
at home. The lifestyle is not dissimilar
to where we live, with boating and fish-
ing and spending time at the beach.”
