From the President<br />

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 />

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 />

Schedule a consultation today to uncover<br />

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

the spaINSIDER | Success Story<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 />

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 />

Delicious and nutritious!<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 />

podiatry<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 />

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 />
