Spark Your Life (and Brain Power)<br />
with Exercise<br />
Most of us who engage in aerobic exercise know that it makes<br />
us feel more relaxed. Perhaps we’ve even experienced the ability<br />
to concentrate better or longer following exercise. These are not<br />
just warm and fuzzy feelings. Aerobic exercise actually creates<br />
physical changes in the brain that affect our mental health and<br />
performance.<br />
Dr. John J. Ratey’s book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science<br />
of Exercise and the Brain, provides some well-documented<br />
summaries about exercise and the brain. One of the most notable<br />
examples to demonstrate tangible and measureable results comes<br />
from the Naperville School District in Illinois. Beginning in the<br />
1990’s, this school district implemented a physical education<br />
program that concentrated on aerobic exercise for all students.<br />
The district installed cardiovascular machines in many schools and<br />
students were graded on improving their “personal best” times in<br />
the mile run. In 1999, students nationwide participated in the<br />
“Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study,” a test<br />
that compares students’ knowledge levels from different countries<br />
in math and science. The Naperville district finished first in science<br />
and sixth in math, while the United States as a whole finished 18th<br />
and 19th. The connection between the fitness program and the<br />
test scores is fascinating and data from other school districts who’ve<br />
adopted similar programs supports the exercise-brain connection.<br />
Dr. Ratey summarizes the effect of exercise by saying, “Physical<br />
activity sparks biological changes that encourage brain cells to bind<br />
to one another. For the brain to learn, these connections must<br />
be made. They reflect the brain’s fundamental ability to adapt to<br />
challenges….aerobic activity has a dramatic effect on adaptation,<br />
regulating systems that might be out of balance and optimizing<br />
those that are not. It’s an indispensible tool for anyone who wants<br />
to reach his or her full potential.”<br />
Dr. Ratey points out that these benefits are not limited to young<br />
people. Regeneration of brain cells and vital chemical levels are<br />
enhanced by exercise at all ages. For example, chemicals known as<br />
FGF-2 and VEGF build new capillaries and expand the vascular<br />
system in the brain. As we age, some studies indicate that the<br />
best exercise regimens include both physical skill acquisition and<br />
aerobic exercise. Racquet sports are a good example of this type of<br />
activity. If you’re just starting a racquet sport and are not yet at the<br />
level to get enough aerobic exercise while playing, do a 10-minute<br />
aerobic warm up prior to your game. Many group exercise classes<br />
also fit this description. Learning step or dance patterns, perfecting<br />
a yoga pose or a kick turn in the pool, or learning to dribble a<br />
basketball may indeed spark your brain power in your older years.<br />
With our variety of activities, we’re proud that <strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
provides the perfect laboratory for our members to spark their<br />
brain function and achieve optimum performance for a lifetime.<br />
Thank you for allowing us to help provide that spark.<br />

Cast Member of the Month,<br />
December 2010<br />
Geoff Tripp, Senior Personal Trainer at<br />
Seattle <strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, is as cool as<br />
the other side of the pillow. Geoff is the<br />
definition of professional, always a step ahead<br />
of his responsibilities, and supportive to other<br />
departments in the club on the west and east<br />
side of the lake. Consistently improving on<br />
his role, Geoff spearheaded training programs<br />
for the annual 12K’s of Christmas Holiday<br />
Run while training over 120 private clients<br />
per month and teaching some popular group<br />
fitness classes. He never seems to have a<br />
bad day. If he makes a mistake, he recovers<br />
gracefully, and if there’s a question, he owns<br />
it. Geoff is a great asset to <strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
and we’re happy to have him on our team.<br />

THE SPA<br />
BY ANDREA WOODWARD, Lead Esthetician<br />
Microdermabrasion<br />
A girl’s (and guy’s) best kept beauty secret<br />
Is your skin feeling the harshness of this past winter? Years of<br />
sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin,<br />
creating lines, wrinkles, and changes in texture and color. Not only<br />
is the face a likely victim of these changes, but the neck, chest,<br />
cleavage, back, shoulder area, arms, and back of the hands may be<br />
affected as well.<br />
Some dermatologists say that by exfoliating properly, it’s possible to increase the epidermalcell<br />
turnover, making skin look smoother and pinker again. Exfoliation also helps stimulate<br />
the production of young epidermal cells. Skin resurfacing removes the topmost layer of skin,<br />
leaving it more supple and vibrant. It also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of<br />
the skin, resulting in a healthier, firmer appearance.<br />
The DiamondTome TM Skin Resurfacing system, which uses diamond wands, is an evolution<br />
in microdermabrasion technology. This non-invasive, pain-free treatment requires no down<br />
time. Results are highly effective and most people experience softer, smoother skin after<br />
their first treatment.<br />
Microdermabrasion works best for those with normal or dry complexions and for those<br />
with dull, sun-damaged skin or lots of blackheads. Even thin skin can be helped by milder<br />
exfoliations, as long as there are no broken blood vessels. Clients who have had acne<br />
and whose complexions have improved may find that mild exfoliation keeps the pores<br />
unclogged and the complexion healthier.<br />
Diamond microdermabrasion peels away dead skin and reduces wrinkles, acne scars, and<br />
brown spots. It’s no wonder that diamonds are not only a girl’s (and guy’s) best friend, but<br />
also a best kept beauty secret!<br />

Improve<br />
your skin<br />
texture<br />
Imagine driving your car on a freshlypaved,<br />
smooth street. Then imagine driving<br />
through the pass on rugged, uneven terrain.<br />
The texture of your skin, just like the<br />
landscape, varies widely from one person<br />
to another, and it’s one of the first things I<br />
assess when you come in for<br />
a consultation.<br />
One of the best tools to provide<br />
us with a clear and accurate<br />
picture of the true condition of<br />
your facial skin is the VISIA<br />
scan. VISIA provides a<br />
high resolution assessment of<br />
your facial skin, scanning and<br />
recording surface and subsurface<br />
skin conditions such as texture, pores, lines,<br />
brown spots, vascular red spots, and photodamage.<br />
Texture, which refers to how the skin<br />
feels, depends upon oiliness, dryness,<br />
combination zones of excess oil and<br />
dryness, hairs, and benign skin growths.<br />
Poor skin texture often has combination<br />
zones of oiliness and dryness, as well<br />
as excess hairs and scattered, small skin<br />
growths. Optimal skin texture is smooth<br />
to palpation and well-hydrated, without<br />
excess oil.<br />
Together we can determine the unique<br />
aspects of your complexion, how your<br />
skin might compare to others in your<br />
age group, and design a personalized<br />
facial rejuvenation plan to improve your<br />
skin texture. At the Medical Spa, I can<br />
implement a plan to achieve optimal skin<br />
texture with topical, injectable and laser<br />
treatments.<br />
Renew and maintain your facial vitality.<br />

the true condition of your skin and take<br />

Ramona Prineas<br />
<strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong> member<br />
Swimsuit by Malibu Doll - malibudollswimwear.com<br />
Ramona Prineas, retired Alaska Airlines flight attendant, couldn’t<br />
wait to show off her miraculous change after finishing MY BEST<br />
10, our world premier, medically-based, health, fitness and<br />
beauty program here at <strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong> and The Spa.<br />
I’m sure other women can relate . . . I had reached that age where I was no longer firm,<br />
and I wasn’t very healthy. I picked up that bloat around the middle, the soft arms and<br />
a lack of energy. I also felt a loss of identity. I was sad about who I had become and<br />
didn’t know it. I had suffered from some mild depression, which was probably related<br />
to perimenopause issues. But I also found myself covering up more, wearing shorts and<br />
bikinis less often, because subconsciously I was ashamed of the way I looked.<br />
Before<br />
It really hit me when I was going on vacation and tried on bathing suits in a Nordstrom<br />
changing room. I tried on one suit after another, looked in the mirror and became<br />
disgusted with myself. I almost cancelled the vacation because of it. I knew I had to make<br />
a change. I was discouraged about turning 50 and didn’t know what to do about it. Then<br />
I was introduced to My Best 10. It was a miracle, frankly. It allowed me to start a new<br />
chapter in my life.<br />

My Best 10<br />
As I got into the program, the change wasn’t always easy – revamping<br />
my diet and using muscles I hadn’t used in years. I got sore, but after<br />
the first two weeks, I loved being sore. In fact, I became addicted to<br />
it. In just 10 weeks, I dropped weight, toned up and reclaimed my<br />
best 10. The My Best 10 team‘s emotional support was incredible.<br />
They cheered me on – really cared about me reaching my goals. They<br />
became my very good friends.<br />
You have your own personal trainer with a personalized exercise<br />
program, a registered dietitian who helps you with meal planning, and<br />
Dr. Daniel Levy, who designs a personalized ‘10 years Younger Beauty<br />
Prescription’ that will amaze you.<br />
Pose in a bikini at age<br />
50?<br />
I thought no way. Then, I<br />
completed MY BEST 10 and . . .<br />
here I am!<br />
Dr. Levy dramatically reinvigorated my skin – I could see the<br />
difference in my skin tone. Plus, My Best 10 offers lifestyle coaching<br />
workshops that help you live a better, stronger, happier and stress<br />
free life. Then, that final touch of magic – I got pampered with their<br />
spa and salon services – everything from soothing massages to a<br />
designer haircut, personalized hair coloring and professional makeup<br />
application. Even though I changed on the outside, medical tests<br />
proved a huge change had occurred inside my body. The way Dr.<br />
Mark designed this program, it changes you metabolically.<br />
The results are so rewarding. It feels great to see the stomach go away,<br />
the arms become defined, and the jiggle in the thighs disappear. My<br />
energy level is incredible. My renewed confidence is invigorating.<br />
I walk differently. I cook differently. My family is changing as well<br />
because they’re getting the benefit of my educated grocery shopping.<br />
My girl friends want to join My Best 10 because they see the results<br />
in living color – me! I’ve never felt better in my life than I do right<br />
now. I encourage everyone to forget the band-aid diet solutions and<br />
haphazard workouts. It’s true what they say . . . in just 10 weeks you<br />
can be 10 pounds lighter and look 10 years younger with My Best 10.<br />
The first step is to just say yes!<br />
Complimentary informative sessions with Dr. Mark are held monthly.<br />

Every workout has a purpose. We<br />
start early in the year with basebuilding,<br />
and then transition to<br />
longer intervals before hitting the<br />
track to work on speed. Strength<br />
training goals shift throughout the<br />
season as well. Recently, we added<br />
deep-pool running and you might<br />
find us working at V02max in the<br />
multipurpose pool. Cross-training<br />
on the bikes and in the pool add<br />
essential volume that wouldn’t be<br />
possible by running alone. I also take<br />
advantage of Tour de <strong>PRO</strong> indoor<br />
cycling classes and enjoy being<br />
coached through the workout.<br />
Sarah Smith & Brenda Carter<br />
Training Duo Takes<br />
on Masters Track<br />
By Brenda Carter<br />
I first met Sarah Smith at the start of the 800 meter dash during a <strong>Club</strong><br />
Northwest All Comers track meet several years ago. Sarah was inspired<br />
to return to the track after coaching her son’s track team at Evergreen Jr.<br />
High School. After slogging through many 5Ks, I was ready to return<br />
to my middle-distance roots. Sarah finished within a second of the All<br />
American Standard for our division. I finished a few seconds behind.<br />
The next year, Sarah and I trained together. Coming from a distance<br />
background, I encouraged her to run more distance. She helped me<br />
develop more speed on the track. We both cleared the All American<br />
Standard at the first race we attempted that season and were thrilled to<br />
knock seconds off of our race times with each subsequent race. At the<br />
USATF Master’s National Championship that summer, Sarah claimed<br />
a bronze medal in the 400 and finished 4th in the 800. I finished just<br />
behind her in the 800 (5th) and then placed 6th in the 1500.<br />
<strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has played a big role in our training routine and<br />
success. Sarah’s trainer, Kim Pancoast, is a perfect match, drawing on her<br />
experience as a collegiate track runner and high ranking triathlete. “Kim<br />
sets up a training schedule according to my race calendar,” says Sarah.<br />
“She tells me when to put in those hard workouts and when to taper for<br />
the big race. Her ability to prepare an athlete for a big event is amazing.”<br />
Sarah<br />
Brenda<br />
Both of us use the lactate threshold<br />
testing service. For Sarah this is<br />
invaluable, as her heart rate doesn’t<br />
correspond to traditional age-based<br />
zones. Kim uses this data to prescribe<br />
heart rate targets for workouts,<br />
including coached workouts on<br />
the underwater treadmill to build<br />
strength and stamina.<br />
A highlight of our 2009 season<br />
was competing at the US Open<br />
Track and Field Championships in<br />
Eugene, Oregon. The invitational<br />
distance for the women’s master’s<br />
exhibition race was 1500 meters<br />
and we were both invited to be part<br />
of a 10-women field that included<br />
Olympic gold medalist Joan Benoit<br />
Samuelson. In 2010, I placed my<br />
bets on the Indoor World Masters<br />
Championship in Canada and placed<br />
5th in the 800 and 4th in the 1500.<br />
Sarah saved her steam for the USATF<br />
Masters National Championship<br />
that summer where she claimed silver<br />
medals in both the 400 and 800.<br />
Sarah and I agree that our training<br />
partnership has taken us further than<br />
we would have achieved on our own.<br />
“Brenda helps hold me accountable,<br />
especially on those rainy days!” she<br />
says. We both hope to be healthy and<br />
racing this summer when the World<br />
Masters Championship meet is<br />
hosted in Sacramento, California.<br />

Pilates : Develop strength from the inside-out<br />
Take your body on a journey to becoming stronger and more balanced<br />
with private Pilates. Unlike other forms of exercise, Pilates doesn’t<br />
require many repetitions or a fast pace. Joseph Pilates believed<br />
that “A few well-designed movements, properly performed<br />
in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy<br />
calisthenics or forced contortion… Pilates develops the<br />
body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical<br />
vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.”<br />
Unlike flexing your bicep, which you can feel immediately,<br />
it may take a few sessions to develop the awareness of the<br />
stabilizing muscles in your body. However, once you’re in<br />
touch with this inner strength and stability, you’re able to<br />
transfer this awareness into the weight room or a Mat Pilates<br />
class and experience greater benefits.<br />
“I’m longer and leaner and much more<br />
graceful. I can honestly say Pilates has<br />
changed my body - and my life.”<br />
~ Chelsea Handler, talk show host<br />

curriculum, they’ll benefit<br />
by learning from someone<br />
who understands exactly<br />
what to teach using a wide<br />

> It will jumpstart their<br />
social skills. How children<br />

Whether your children are at Discovery Bay for childcare or enrolled in a program, you<br />
can be sure that we’ll keep them engaged with age-appropriate activities that foster their<br />
physical and emotional development. Our preschool curriculum for children ages 4-6<br />
helps prepare your child for kindergarten in five major areas:<br />
Knowledge base (letters, numbers, colors, shapes)<br />
Daily life skills (time, calendar, weather)<br />
Creative arts (crafts, games, music)<br />
Social development (group games, sharing)<br />
Physical activity (gym games, swimming, dance)<br />

It’s Time to Graduate from<br />
Your High School Workout<br />
Five Ways to Help it Evolve<br />
By Andy Gundel, NSCA<br />
Consider what’s changed since you were in<br />
high school – your car, your clothes, your<br />
computer? Probably everything, except<br />
maybe your exercise routine. Instead of<br />
doing a workout comparable to Windows<br />
1.0, why not try something new?<br />
There is no “best” workout. Eventually,<br />
everything gets stale. And perhaps your<br />
routine is safe. Your go-to gym circuit<br />
would never do you wrong. Maybe you<br />
enjoy it because you don’t have to think<br />
about what to do next. But think back<br />
to the last time you felt sore after your<br />
workout or the last time you noticed a<br />
big difference in your _______ (insert:<br />
appearance, performance, stamina,<br />
flexibility, power, etc.) Has it been a while?<br />
Below is a list of things to help you attach<br />
some jumper cables to that workout and<br />
give it new life.<br />
1. Take a class. Pilates is catching on like<br />
wildfire. A great way to strengthen and<br />
create muscle awareness, Pilates gives you<br />
the tools you need for everyday life. Be it<br />
back, hip, or any other joint, Pilates has<br />
your…back. Not your thing? Try Cycling,<br />
CHISEL’D, Circuit training, Yoga. There<br />
are a multitude of classes to choose from<br />
to spark your fire.<br />
2. Go outside the box. Bench, lat-pull,<br />
treadmill, elliptical. All great exercises,<br />
but without variety, they can get pretty<br />
redundant. Try working out with a buddy<br />
who has different goals from yours. A fresh<br />
look can make all the difference.<br />
3. Talk to a personal trainer. Allow an<br />
expert to add diversity to your gym time and<br />
help you set goals for yourself. Talk to one of<br />
them about a ‘Get-Started’ session (free with<br />
your membership). Don’t be shy. They like<br />
talking!<br />
4. Visit Willows Road. Did you know<br />
that <strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has a location on<br />
Willows Road where parking is plentiful and<br />
is available with your Bellevue membership?<br />
Our Willows Road facility was designed to<br />
mix up your workout and challenge you<br />
in new and unique ways with innovative<br />
equipment and exercises. Try one of the<br />
classes and you’ll be hooked.<br />
5. Read. Interested in mountain climbing<br />
or running a marathon? Pick up a book and<br />
learn more. At the club we have experts in just<br />
about any sport or activity you can imagine.<br />
Talk to us and find out more about what<br />
interests you.<br />
Take the time to treat yourself right because<br />
that’s what exercise should be. Don’t pick up<br />
another weight with the mentality of, “I just<br />
have to get through this and I can leave.”<br />
Walk into the club every day invigorated<br />
to learn something new and try something<br />
different. It’s time to graduate onto a better<br />
way of living.<br />

7No Pain, No Gain?<br />
Pain is your body’s way of telling you that<br />
something’s wrong. I always remind my<br />
clients that there’s a difference between pain<br />
and discomfort and everybody’s threshold is<br />
different. While pushing yourself can often<br />
lead to more results, listen to your body<br />
and don’t do more than you can handle.<br />
1Spot reduction<br />
When I was in high school,<br />
my best friend and I did 1,000<br />
crunches a day, convinced that<br />
we’d have perfectly whittled<br />
abs by bikini season. Little did<br />
we realize there’s no such thing<br />
as “spot reduction.” The best<br />
way to lose those love-handles?<br />
Focus on total body weight loss<br />
and firming the muscles.<br />
Not monitoring your heart rate<br />
If you follow the heart rate<br />
recommendations on the cardio<br />
machines, you may be doing<br />
yourself a disservice. A heart rate<br />
that’s too low will use more fat<br />
for energy, but it may take much<br />
longer to burn the same amount<br />
of calories. By the same token, a<br />
heart rate that’s too high makes<br />
you anaerobic, which may burn up<br />
your lean tissue. Take advantage of<br />
your free Get Started session with a<br />
personal trainer and establish your<br />
individual heart rate range to help<br />
you reach your goals sooner.<br />
6<br />
Not taking a rest day<br />
One of my clients did cardio for 30 days straight without<br />
taking a day off. Not only was he tired, but he wasn’t<br />
losing weight. If you rest 1-2 days per week, you’ll have<br />
more energy for your workouts and avoid overtraining<br />
injuries. Rest days enable muscle repair and/or growth<br />
and recovery of the central nervous system. Enjoyable,<br />
low-intensity activities such as a walk or leisurely cycle are<br />
perfectly okay. Of course, if you need a day to veg on the<br />
sofa, that’s fine too.<br />
Workout<br />
Mistakes<br />
THREE<br />
Only doing cardio<br />
Cardio is a great way to burn<br />
calories. However, your body<br />
always loses a percentage of calories<br />
from fat and a percentage of<br />
calories from lean tissue/muscle. In<br />
order to keep the muscle and burn<br />
mostly fat, incorporate strength<br />
training to replace the lean tissue<br />
calories burned during cardio.<br />
Along with exercise, eating a wellbalanced<br />
diet can help you reach<br />
your goals sooner.<br />
Doing the same exercises day in/day out<br />
As your body becomes accustomed to an exercise<br />
routine, it expends less energy to do the same<br />
amount of work. So you’re not burning the<br />
same amount of calories you initially did. The<br />
same goes for strength training. If you want to<br />
continually challenge a muscle and burn calories,<br />
change up the exercise for that muscle group.<br />
IV<br />
Not stretching<br />
In order for muscles to reach their full potential for strength,<br />
they must be able to stretch to 120 percent of their natural<br />
resting length. This won’t happen if a muscle is tight from<br />
being over-worked. Here are a few simple tips. Stretch<br />
all major muscle groups, hold each stretch approximately<br />
30 seconds (don’t bounce), stretch after warming up, and<br />
stretch only to the point of discomfort, not pain.<br />

Greek yogurt boosts protein content and has zero fat.<br />
{Beware! If a yogurt has over 150 calories or more than 25g of carbs per 7g protein, you’re<br />
getting too much sugar.}<br />
Almonds provide heart healthy fat source and promote satiety.<br />
Extra veggies add volume and keep you full.<br />
Extra lean turkey reduces calories and fat.<br />
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar helps emphasize flavor without added salt.<br />

Smoothies make a simple and delicious breakfast on-the-go,<br />
post-exercise snack, or boost of extra nutrition anytime you<br />
need. Try combining some greens into your smoothie for a whole<br />
spectrum of added nutritional benefits, as well as delicious flavor.<br />
Spirulina<br />
Imagine a vegetable with more protein than soy,<br />
more Vitamin A than carrots, and more iron than<br />
beef. Eaten by humans since prehistoric times,<br />
this tiny aquatic plant is grown worldwide as a<br />
healthy food. A profound source of protective<br />
phytochemicals, it’s also naturally low in fat, a great<br />
source of the essential fatty acid GLA, and is easy<br />
to digest.<br />
Spinach<br />
Like other dark greens, spinach is an excellent source of betacarotene,<br />
a powerful disease-fighting antioxidant that has been<br />
shown, among other things, to reduce the risk of developing<br />
cataracts, and fight heart disease and cancer. Besides<br />
being a fairly good source of iron, spinach is loaded<br />
with vitamins and minerals, some of which are hard<br />
to find in other foods.<br />
Kale<br />
Kale can be called the most robust member of the cabbage family<br />
with a strong flavor and somewhat coarse texture. This nutrition<br />
superstar is an excellent source of nutrients (especially vitamin<br />
A), calcium, beta-carotene, and is packed with fiber to keep you<br />
satiated.<br />
Tips<br />
• Unsweetened almond milk is easy to digest for most people.<br />
Good digestion leads to better nutrient absorption. It’s<br />
absolutely delicious and works for anyone who has a dairy<br />
sensitivity or allergy. However, if you’re allergic to nuts, try<br />
using rice milk or soy milk.<br />
• Frozen bananas create a creamy, silky texture without adding<br />
fat or cholesterol. For a thinner smoothie, add a fresh banana.<br />
• If you can’t find a variety of fresh fruit, organic frozen fruit is a<br />
great option since the fruit is usually picked and frozen within<br />
24 hours, retaining the flavor and a majority of the nutrients.<br />
NEW! Be sure to try out the new Peachy Green<br />
smoothie now being offered at The Bistro and Café.<br />

The key to my<br />
success<br />
was<br />
learning<br />
how to eat right<br />
for my<br />
body<br />
It took me three years to lose 35 pounds of the 60 pounds I’d gained<br />
during my first pregnancy. I did this by mostly crash dieting over<br />
and over again. Then I gained another 60 pounds during my second<br />
pregnancy. This time, it was incredibly hard to lose the excess weight.<br />
I didn’t exercise, and I felt tired, sluggish, and winded during just<br />
about any activity with my children. My feet and back would ache<br />
by the end of the day. I also ate very poorly, reaching for anything<br />
that was convenient and tasted good. I had little to no time to figure<br />
out healthy eating options for myself.<br />
According to my blood work I was prediabetic.<br />
After going through the 20/20<br />
LifeStyles program, I’m no longer in that range.<br />
I’ve also experienced a huge improvement in<br />
my energy levels. I no longer have to turn to<br />
caffeine or take a nap in the middle of the day.<br />
Another side benefit is that I’ve also noticed<br />
an improvement in my self confidence and self motivation.<br />
“We all have<br />
setbacks. I’ve just<br />
learned how to<br />
plan them into my<br />
schedule.”<br />
My success has been totally about staying active and continuing to<br />
exercise. Sometimes finding the motivation to do this is difficult.<br />
To help me with this, I still see my trainer once a month to keep<br />
me going and on track. I’m always asking for new workout tips or<br />
routines to make it fun and interesting, as well as more challenging.<br />
I’ve also found fun activities I enjoy doing that help keep me<br />
motivated to exercise.<br />
It wasn’t easy. It was a difficult adjustment for our<br />
whole family at first. I took to educating my husband<br />
about what I was doing, and it proved to be very<br />
helpful. Once he understood, he also discovered<br />
that healthy eating for the family was a good thing<br />
and was able to curb his poor food choices in order<br />
to help me succeed. Although at times I did cook<br />
separate meals, it was nice to have the whole family<br />
on the same page. It helped to reduce the stress and<br />
“cheating” on my nutrition plan when I was tempted to do so.<br />
I’d say that the key to my success was learning how to eat right for<br />
my body and how to make healthier choices for myself and my<br />
family, as well as learning how to be more active. I’m amazed by how<br />
much more active we are as a family thanks to the 20/20 LifeStyles<br />
program.<br />
We all have setbacks. I’ve just learned how to plan them into my<br />
schedule. If I know that there’s a certain day or occasion that will set<br />
me back, I plan that into my day of eating. I also make sure that I<br />
keep to my workout routine. I now have the motivation to get back<br />
into the club and exercise or get back to eating right.<br />
After the 20/20 LifeStyles program, I feel so much healthier. I just<br />
flat out feel good. I see myself in a different light. I see myself living<br />
longer and teaching my kids how to eat healthier so that they live<br />
longer too. I’m able to enjoy food again in a different way, not as<br />
a reward or an addiction, but actually enjoying what healthy food<br />
tastes like without missing all the sugar, fat, and salt that I’ve always<br />
been used to. Thanks, 20/20 LifeStyles!<br />

Treatment, Surgery, Recovery?<br />
Treating a Meniscus Tear<br />
By Anita Romeo, MSPT<br />
Marcus Camby of the Portland Trail Blazers underwent<br />
surgery for a torn meniscus earlier this year. So did<br />
LA Lakers forward, Matt Barnes, along with many<br />
other athletes spanning a wide range of sports.<br />
A meniscus is an extension of cartilage in a joint. The biggest<br />
and most frequently injured are the two menisci of the knee, the<br />
medial and lateral. Their purpose is to help increase the integrity<br />
and stability of the knee, reduce friction during movement, and to<br />
serve as shock absorbers. Unfortunately, they sometimes work too<br />
well and bear the brunt of large forces at the knee, resulting in an<br />
injury.<br />
Most often a meniscal injury or tear will occur to the medial<br />
meniscus and may occur during a sudden rotation to the bent<br />
knee (for example, when skiing, during contact sports, or when<br />
pivoting). This sudden movement causes a “flap” in the meniscus<br />
that extends into the joint space, which can interfere with normal<br />
joint motion. Common complaints are pain, clicking, locking, and<br />
giving way of the knee. The menisci in the knee have a poor blood<br />
supply and, when injured, they are not able to heal well.<br />
Conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, may increase<br />
the strength and stability of the knee and address any loss in range<br />
of motion. However, in some cases, conservative treatment is not<br />
enough and surgical intervention may be recommended. Typically,<br />
in these cases, the surgical procedure is performed via arthroscopy<br />
and the injured part of the meniscus may either be removed or<br />
sutured back down, depending on the type and size of the tear.<br />
Afterwards, physical therapy is often recommended to ensure<br />
proper recovery and return to normal activity.<br />
If you experience any of the above symptoms, and especially if they<br />
interfere with your activity, check with your doctor or visit one of<br />
our physical therapy offices where we can perform physical testing<br />
to aid in determining if your meniscus is involved or if the pain<br />
has another cause.<br />

As of January 2011, the Total Body Transformation (TBT)<br />
program has helped reduce 285 pounds and 348 inches from its<br />
participants and recently kicked off its highest enrollment to date<br />
with 58 “Transformers.” This success can be attributed to the<br />
participants who understand the value of having a plan, working<br />
with friends and teammates to accomplish similar goals, and<br />
appreciate someone noticing when they haven’t made it to their<br />
workout.<br />
effective tips that can be implemented right away to help enhance<br />
one’s success within the program and after. You can also look<br />
forward to other valuable services and a few fun components.<br />
The truth is, no matter what your fitness level or what your goals<br />
may be, success requires a plan, motivation, and accountability.<br />
Make yourself a priority in 2011 and let’s get fit together.<br />
Our goal within the TBT program is to create an energetic<br />
and motivating workout environment that makes people feel<br />
comfortable and connected. While you begin the program<br />
supported by a coach, the objective is to transition to feeling<br />
accountable to teammates and strengthen self-accountability.<br />
The term “Transformation” is exactly what the program is designed<br />
to achieve. Between creative class formats, team camaraderie, and<br />
the energetic support of coaches, we help generate both physical<br />
and emotional transformations. While it has been remarkable to<br />
witness all the physical transformations within the program, the<br />
confidence we’ve seen in participants who pursue new goals after<br />
the program has been truly inspiring.<br />
Total Body Transformation has not only grown steadily with<br />
the number of participants, but also with the services included.<br />

By Dr. J. Mari Adad, DPM<br />
Run Into Spring<br />
Avoiding Running Injuries<br />
Spring is a great time to get back into your running<br />
routine or to ramp up your training for the coming<br />
summer months. However, it’s always important to take<br />
it slowly and train carefully with the advice of an expert<br />
to avoid running injuries. Choosing the proper footwear<br />
for your level of activity is also important. But no matter how<br />
careful you are, you may still end up with some common injuries.<br />
Shin splints<br />
Shin splints, which are painful and appear at the front and inside<br />
of the leg, are often caused by running on hard surfaces, overstriding,<br />
muscle imbalance, or overuse. Shin splints can also be<br />
related to the shape and structure of your feet.<br />
Treatment: rest, stretching, changing your running technique, and<br />
rebalancing foot mechanics with orthotics. Physical therapy may<br />
also be helpful.<br />
Try to: slow down, take shorter strides, and see a podiatrist at your<br />
first opportunity.<br />
Stress fractures<br />
A stress fracture is a tiny or incomplete crack in a bone that’s often<br />
caused by overuse. Stress fractures occur most frequently in the<br />
foot and ankle. Signs of a stress fracture are pain that increases<br />
with activity and decreases with rest, pain that increases over<br />
time, or pain that persists even at rest. Often a stress fracture will<br />
result in swelling and a spot that feels tender to the touch. Prompt<br />
diagnosis and treatment of a stress fracture can often prevent<br />
further injury.<br />
Treatment: begins with a physical exam and x-ray. Many stress<br />
fractures can be treated with rest, ice and over-the-counter pain<br />
relievers. For most people, an appropriate period of rest will be<br />
sufficient for the bone to heal, but like all fractures, the bone can<br />
take up to 8-10 weeks to heal completely. In other cases, your<br />
podiatrist may need to immobilize the affected bone with a cast,<br />
cast boot, fracture shoe, or a splint. Surgical intervention may be<br />
suggested if more conservative treatments are not effective.<br />
Blisters and nail problems<br />
Blisters are caused by skin friction. Don’t pop them. If they appear<br />
red or infected, see a doctor as soon as possible.<br />
Treatment: Cover the blister with moleskin or an adhesive<br />
bandage and leave it on until it falls off naturally in the bath or<br />
shower. Keep your feet dry and always wear socks. If a blister<br />
breaks on its own, wash the area, apply an antiseptic, and cover<br />
with a sterile bandage.<br />
Runners are particularly susceptible to nail problems, and longdistance<br />
runners often lose some of their toenails entirely while<br />
they are training. Ingrown nails are nails whose corners or sides dig<br />
painfully into the skin, often causing infection. They are frequently<br />
caused by improper nail trimming but also by shoe pressure,<br />
injury, or poor foot structure.<br />
Treatment: If an ingrown nail is painful or infected, it’s possible to<br />
permanently remove the offending portion of the nail to prevent<br />
recurrence. This is a simple procedure and you don’t usually have<br />
to stop your activity as it heals.<br />

Athletes Foot and Toenail Fungus<br />
With increased activity, moisture and friction are<br />
commonplace inside shoes. Fungus likes dark and damp<br />
environments.<br />
Treatment: prevent foot fungus and shoe odor by wearing<br />
moisture wicking socks (e.g. Wrightsock, Coolmax, or<br />
Thorlo) and powder. In addition, spray your shoes with<br />
an antifungal powder (Tinactin, Micatin, or Desenex)<br />
after each use. For best results, use STERISHOE, an<br />
in-shoe device that uses ultraviolet light to eradicate all<br />
bacteria, fungus, and viruses within the shoe. It only takes<br />
a 45-minute treatment to kill 99.9 percent of all organisms<br />
in your shoe. Contact <strong>PRO</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Podiatry for more<br />
information.<br />
A neuroma (also referred to as a pinched nerve) is a painful<br />
condition involving irritation and/or thickening of the nerve<br />
tissue between the toes (most commonly the 3rd and 4th<br />
toes). The condition brings on pain, a burning sensation,<br />
tingling, or numbness between the toes and in the ball of<br />
the foot.<br />
Treatment: special custom orthotics with a transverse<br />
metatarsal arch support, cortisone injections, or scelorosing<br />
alcohol injections. Surgical intervention is also a solution if<br />
all conservative efforts fail.<br />

Rainier over drinks to actually committing to it, they wanted to be in the best possible<br />
condition so that they’d not only make the summit but also enjoy the journey just as<br />
much. Being avid hikers and cyclists (they completed the STP together and often cycle to<br />
work), they were already very fit.<br />
Having grown up in Finland and having a travel business, Heli Suokko had always been an<br />
outdoor athlete. She’d completed marathons and a half-Ironman. She wanted to challenge<br />
herself further. After summiting Mt. Rainier with one of her clients from International<br />
Mountain Guides, she decided to attempt Denali.<br />
Getting Prepared<br />
Roger: This is one of the most amazing<br />
things that I’ve ever done and I wanted to<br />
really enjoy the experience. If you’re fairly<br />
fit and do some training, you can summit<br />
but you’re not going to enjoy it as much<br />
and you’ll have wasted the opportunity.<br />
I knew my knee was going to be<br />
bothersome, so I went to physical therapy.<br />
The preventative exercises helped stabilize<br />
my knee so I could perform the exercises in<br />
the Mountain Conditioning class. Without<br />
it, I wouldn’t have been able to do those<br />
exercises, and without the exercises, I<br />
wouldn’t have been in such good condition<br />
to climb the mountain. It was the perfect<br />
combination.<br />
Heli: You’re on the mountain for three<br />
weeks, so you need to be both physically<br />
and mentally prepared. I’d exercise with<br />
extra clothes on so I’d be too warm or wash<br />
my face with ice cold water just to get<br />
used to being uncomfortable. I also tried<br />
dragging a tire up Mt. Si wearing a full<br />
pack to get the feeling of what it might be<br />
like to drag a sled.<br />
About Mountain Conditioning<br />
Matt: The class was an essential part of<br />
our conditioning. The strength exercises<br />
translated to conditions that we might face<br />
on the mountain such as how our bodies<br />
might stand up to strong winds or handle<br />
pack weight in a way that keeps your body<br />
stable and safe on the mountain. We were<br />
the oldest climbers in our group to summit.<br />
I think we kept up with those 20 year-olds<br />
pretty well and were amongst the strongest<br />
climbers in terms of physical fitness.<br />
Without Carl Swedberg’s structure and<br />
concentrated focus on strength, we<br />
wouldn’t have been in that shape. Out of<br />
12 clients, three didn’t make it. One of the<br />
reasons they didn’t summit was because<br />
they didn’t know what to expect.<br />
Heli: It was a complete body workout and<br />
I needed to build that strength. I became<br />
addicted to the class. Even after the climb,<br />
I’m still doing it.<br />
48 <strong>PRO</strong> PULSE MARCH-APRIL 2011
Biggest Surprise<br />
Matt: I was overwhelmed by the sheer size of everything. You always see Mt.<br />
Rainier from a distance. Even when you’re in the national park, it looks attainable.<br />
But when you’re actually on it, everything is just massive. A small piece of rock that<br />
you see from the park is the size of a house when you’re next to it.<br />
Heli: During the climb, I was carrying a SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker that<br />
Carl had lent me so everybody at home was able to follow my progress. Just when<br />
we were reaching the summit, it indicated that I had fallen. Shortly afterwards, it<br />
showed that I had reached the top. It was just a technical glitch, but it made a few<br />
people nervous.<br />

Best Moment<br />
Roger: At about 12,000 feet, I was on the end of the rope without anyone behind<br />
me. It was a pitch black, cloudless night, perfect conditions apart from the high<br />
winds, and I could see all the city lights from Yakima and surrounding towns.<br />
I watched the sun rising over a 20-minute period. Being in the best condition I<br />
could possibly be in allowed me to savor the experience.<br />
When we got to the RMI base camp at Ashford, we found out that the climbers<br />
who had tried to summit that night didn’t manage it because the winds were<br />
far too strong. It was helpful to have Matt there. I don’t think you can actually<br />
calculate how much it actually helps to train and go through the experience with<br />
someone else.<br />
Matt: We were passed Disappointment Cleaver and starting to ascend the upper<br />
mountain. It was still dark with the first bits of light starting to show on the<br />
horizon. At first, I didn’t notice it because my head was down looking at foot<br />
placements and I was very focused on my technical ascent. Behind me, I heard<br />
Roger yell out, “Matt, I think the sun’s coming up!” I took a quick moment to look<br />
to my right and sure enough saw the first pieces of light. That really stirred me and<br />
it hit me, “Wow, this is really happening.” Also, getting to the summit was a big<br />
moment of relief. Facing 50 mph gusts as we were ascending the mountain was<br />
pretty stressful. Just being able to get out of the wind was nice, and then to realize,<br />
“Oh man, that means I’m in the crater. I’ve summited!”<br />

Heli: Summiting was a big relief. A storm was heading in and we had to leave<br />
almost immediately, so that wasn’t the highlight for me. It was when we got to the<br />
plane and took off. Even in the last hours of walking back to the landing zone,<br />
there’s this danger of falling into a crevice. When we got up into the air and I<br />
looked down, there were a lot of holes everywhere and I thought, “Wow, we were<br />
pretty lucky to avoid all of those.” That’s the moment when I thought, “I did it!”<br />

Fire Up Your<br />
glutes<br />
By Kelsey Clevenger, ACE-certified<br />
Personal Trainer<br />
Toosh, rear, bottom, booty. The gluteals, which consist of<br />
the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus, go by a never-ending<br />
number of nicknames. Often taken for granted, the glutes serve a<br />
far more important role than merely cushioning your seat.<br />
The gluteus maximus, the most superficial of the three, is<br />
responsible for assisting us while rising from a seated position. It<br />
also works in union with the back muscles to stabilize and propel<br />
your entire body while running, reaching, and bending. The<br />
gluteus medius and deep into the maxiumus, permit us to spread<br />
our legs. The gluteus minimus is a small, strong muscle that works<br />
in conjunction with the other hip muscles to stabilize the joint.<br />
Together, the gluteal trio work together to help us move forward<br />
while maintaining integrity in the entire pelvic girdle. They keep<br />
our skeletal frame erect and act as the hinge that operates our gate.<br />
Tips to Tighten and Tone Your Toosh<br />
» Incorporate gluteal-focused, movement preparation exercises<br />
into your workout. Movement prep dynamically readies your<br />
body for exercise. Try adding side-lying clamshells, bird-dogs,<br />
and monster walks in sets of 20 reps to build strength.<br />
» Get your butt in motion. Enhance your rear with glutealdominant<br />
cardio sessions on the Step Mill. Add incline to the<br />
treadmill while walking and running for an added boost.<br />
» Strengthen your toosh using the Life Fitness Signature<br />
equipment in the fitness center, and practice engaging your<br />
glutes when walking and standing. While strengthening your<br />
stabilizers, you’ll also improve your balance.<br />
To learn these and other glute-strengthening exercises, consult with a personal trainer and receive a complete program designed to your<br />
specific needs. Our group fitness classes also offer great overall conditioning mixed with camaraderie and fun.<br />

Infant Swimming Resource (Ages 6 months-6 years)<br />
Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) is the most<br />
comprehensive program dedicated to keeping infants and<br />
young children safer in and around the water. Infants as<br />
young as 6-12 months are taught to roll into a back float<br />
position to rest and breathe. Children ages 1-6 years are<br />
taught to swim face down, rollover onto their backs to<br />
float, rest and breathe, and then flip back over to continue<br />
swimming to the edge of the pool. Repetition, practice<br />
and short duration are the key components to successful<br />
learning. Lessons are conducted one-on-one in a series<br />
of 10 minute lessons five days per week. The length of<br />
lessons typically run for 4-6 weeks.<br />
