Fitness News First, I want to thank everyone that participated in our PB Tri- Athlon & Five Year Anniversary event. We had a great time and raised $1000.00! Plus, many more donated hundreds of dollars’ worth of dry and can goods for the local food banks. Plantation Bay has many generous and thoughtful residents! Mark your calendars to participate in our Annual Polar Bear Plunge Saturday, January 5, 2013 at HIGH NOON! Can there really be any advantages to “chillin’ your bod” in cold water? Surprisingly, the answer is yes... • Shocking the circulatory system can produce a warm afterglow that increases circulation and heightens awareness with high levels of adrenaline; with these physical changes in the body, some experience a spiritual and/or emotional reaction too. • The drastic temperature change on the skin and the subsequent shivering actually exercise shallow, subcutaneous muscles, temporarily firming the skin. • The fun and camaraderie in conjunction with the increase in adrenaline, can lift a bout of mild depression. • You can check it off your bucket list and have fun—all at the same time! For the past several years, we have hosted a Polar Bear Plunge at the fitness center as a fun, energizing event to celebrate the New Year and mingle with friends. Some years the water and the weather have been cold and others times it has been warm and pleasant, but everyone always has fun. All PB members are invited as either participants or spectators, but participants get a “badge of honor” with a special t-shirt designed for the occasion! Afterward, everyone can enjoy libations, hot chocolate and snacks. Please stop by the Center and sign up. A new year typically finds us making New Year’s Resolutions, but eating and/or lifestyle habits shouldn’t be as fleeting as fashion trends. The truth be told, the greatest weight loss strategies are those that can be permanently adopted. So this year, instead of making drastic changes FITNESS NEWS by Nancy Fletcher, Fitness Director that are difficult to maintain, how about trying small habit changes that can create a positive result that lasts a lifetime? Here are a few simple tricks to try (one or more of) which can help get those extra pounds off from the holidays and they’re easy enough to stick to forever: Eat Breakfast - it will energize you for the day 80/20 Rule - Eat at least 80% of things that grow and no more than 20% of things that walk Think Before You Eat - Before you eat, ask yourself, “Am I really hungry?” Do NOT Skip Meals - it wreaks havoc on your metabolism and often leads to over eating when you do eat your next meal Keep Fruit Handy – especially for that afternoon craving of a snack, the natural sugar of fruit along with other vitamins is better for you than candy, something processed or salty and most likely, lower in calories. Protein - After a sweet treat have a slice of turkey to keep you from wanting more sweets. Eat slowly - eat with your non-dominant hand it will slow your eating and you’ll feel fuller, faster Portion Control – weigh your food so you can learn what truly is a portion; for example, most restaurants give patrons 2-3 portions on a plate! Get Plenty Of Rest – lack of sleep increases the appetite hormone Ghrelin Cut Sodium and Carbonation - put the soda down and walk away, instead keep a pitcher full of water with cucumbers in it; it’s refreshing, it looks pretty and feels like a treat. Store Leftovers First - Serve yourself and then immediately pack the leftovers in containers and place in the fridge. Quick Walk - Take a 15-minute walk after each meal to burn a quick 100 calories. Finally, here are some power food pairings: • apple slices with peanut butter • berries with cottage cheese • bell peppers and hummus • broccoli and low-fat cheese These combinations combine fiber and proteins to produce a greater sense of fullness, nix carb cravings and banish hunger! Have a Healthy New Year!
Tennis News Tennis News By Dave Brown USPTA Master Professional DAVE’S TENNIS TIP BRING POSITIVE ENERGY TO PLAY YOUR BEST TENNIS Here are three things to add something positive to your match. 1.) Time your meal so you eat a moderate amount of protein, carbs, and healthy omega-3 fats about 60 to 90 minutes before the match. Also, be sure to hydrate thoroughly 2.) Get going in the warm up! Jog to pick up balls after the rallies. Keep your heart rate up! Break a sweat so your muscles are loose. Rafa Nadal is a great example to watch. He brings great energy to the court for every match! 3.) Keep that bounce in your step. Whether you are changing sides or just going to pick up a ball, keeping your head up and taking brisk steps show positive body language and helps keep you focused on the task at hand-winning the match! Good luck! WINTER SPECIALS 3 & Me Clinic Special- This is a great way to improve your game! First, it’s easier to get 3 players of similar ability together.
