Kilmacolm Golf Club - Ladies
Despite freezing conditions (-4) 34 ladies turned up to play in the
Annual fun Christmas Cracker competition dressed in fabulous Merry
Festive outfi ts and hats. The greensomes competition was over 7
holes (too icy to play any more!) and the very worthy winners were
Maggie McKean and Morag Turner with a fabulous 19 stableford
points; in second place was Sharen Wilson and Moira Boyle and in
third place was our new Club Captain (first lady) Jane McDonald and
Irene Hicks. The ladies retired to the club house where delicious party
/ festive food and mulled wine was served by our fabulous new chef
Richard, the wonderful Roz and the willing and very able bar and
kitchen staff.

Reasons why you should…
There are so many different types of training and exercise that I thought
I would go over some of the reasons why you should do certain things.
I plan on doing this over the next few issues so keep reading to fi nd out
about why you should do certain types of training. Not all types of training
suit everyone so individually you may be suited to certain things.
REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD LIFT WEIGHTS…
Essentially you will burn more calories. The physical act of lifting
weights burns calories, but it also actually causes you to burn more
calories daily even when resting. Boosting muscle mass means you
body needs a lot more energy to maintain this, resulting in you burning
more calories throughout the day.
Many other things in your life will improve as a result. Boosting
muscle mass translates into everyday activities and you will start to
fi nd that carrying the shopping, picking your children up, cleaning the
house, playing football with your kids all becomes a bit easier for you.
Reduced stress. Physical exercise releases endorphins which make
you feel good. Strength training has been shown to decrease tension
and anxiety, thereby also making it a great de-stressor.
Stronger bones. Strength training can help improve the health and
strength of your bones and connective tissue by increasing bone
density. As you get older this can be of great benefi t as it can help to
prevent osteoporosis and small fractures.
Improved posture. Lifting weights and training your whole body allows
the strength of your body and range of motion overall to increase. This
can assist in maintaining a more upright posture and a stronger core
allowing you to stand taller.
For all the other benefi ts of lifting
weights and to read the full article
