Fitness News We started 2011 with a Splash. On January 8, at approximately 11:30 am Fitness Center Staff and Plantation Bay Members began a new tradition by jumping in to the lap pool – Our own version of a “Polar Bear Plunge”. A number of friends were at poolside to witness the beginning of this new tradition. The water temperature was approximately 50 degrees at the time of the plunge. The brave and energetic group was almost evenly split between men and women. After the plunge the participants were treated to Hot Chocolate and chocolate chocolate-chip cake. Some brave souls added Peppermint Schnapps’ to their Hot Chocolate. Plans are already being made for our plunge for 2012. Mark your calendars for the first Saturday after January 1. Our “Build a Community, while Shaping your Body” was a close race. All the communities were neck and neck to complete their area. We had almost 50 members who participated in 4 different teams. At the time of this article – Magnolia Estates is in the lead, followed by Westlake, Bay Isles and lastly Prestwick. Congratulations to all of our participants. It was fun – we even had a member calling in from out of the country to log in his FITNESS NEWS activity. Watch for news about our “Royal Plantation Cruise” – our next exercise competition. We are also in the process of planning our spring charity event. Keep your eyes out for the announcement of the date. It will be another Walk, Bike and Tennis Round Robin. Weight Watchers has been a huge success – we had a total of 28 for our New Years session. This current session will end on April 13 th and a new session will begin on April 20. If success is what you are looking for, this group provides support, motivation and shares personal challenges. Meetings are on Wednesdays – Weigh–In at 3:45pm and informative meeting begins at 4:00. Lastly – we would like to commend all of our new members, and/or existing members who made those New Year’s Resolutions and stuck to them. We are proud of you and want to encourage you to keep up the good work. You will feel and see the results and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Remember – warmer weather is fast approaching. Stay hydrated, please make sure to drink plenty of water. Nancy Fletcher Fitness Director Super Bowl bocce team Champs, the Golfers!!

Tennis News By Dave Brown USPTA Master Professional DAVE’S TENNIS TIP IMPROVE YOUR VOLLEY WITH BETTER AIM I often observe club level matches and notice that even the most skilled players have trouble putting away the volley from the net. The ball continually goes back to the opponent until the back court player eventually hits a passing shot or forces an error or lobs over the net players head. What’s a player to do? First of all, most errors are made because the wrist does not stay firm enough during contact. To cure misdirection one must turn the palm of the hitting hand in the direction one wants the ball to go.Once contact is made, freeze! By freezing at contact the racquet will stay behind the ball longer increasing the likelihood that the ball will go where it is aimed. Try it next time you play. You will be happy you did!
