TENNIS UPDATE

We are happy to have our new tennis courts open! The courts and new fencing are beautiful The underground watering is active on all 6 courts
Now that all six courts are open, we are on 90-minute reservation time periods beginning at 7:30 a m We no longer need to water at mid-day but brushing and grooming is still a very important part of maintaining the courts for optimal play The afternoon court times will begin at 1:30 This will be the afternoon starting time for the remainder of the season in order for us to assure the courts are properly groomed and ready for afternoon league and social play Over time we may be tweaking the beginning morning and mid-day start times to reflect the time we are saving in the overall necessary maintenance of the courts Most importantly to all is that we have resumed the 90-minute playing time A new ball machine is available for rent During season the ball machine is available for rent during the afternoon hours Please contact the pro shop to reserve the ball machine

Check in with Lee at the pro shop to see what fun activities are planned for February We will be hosting Men’s and Ladies happy hour doubles fun, a February exhibition with refreshments and other fun events! Dates and times will be posted in the pro shop and sent in blast emails, so be on the lookout!
We appreciate your patience and support throughout the process of our court renovation project. Now that the courts themselves are completed, there will be improvements made around the perimeter of the courts as well. There may be some interruptions with more pavers being installed, landscape and debris being removed. Windscreens will be installed on courts 1,2,3. Canopies and frames are being fabricated for the two large pads between 1,2 and 3,4 and will be installed upon completion. Ice/water machines will be reinstalled under canopies. New tables and chairs are on order for all patio areas.
We have accomplished so much just getting the courts completed, but there is much more to come! As always, we ask for your grace and understanding as we move forward in this exciting project!

HOW MUCH EXERCISE DO YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT OR MAINTAIN WEIGHT LOSS?
Research consistently shows that, to lose weight, integrating exercise into your routine helps For example, a 2017 review concluded that consistently exercising is linked with increased weight loss and weight maintenance efforts over the long term
Still, if you ’ re trying to control your weight through exercise, the general HHS activity guidelines might not be sufficient; you ’ re likely going to need to devote some extra time to exercise
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), 150 to 250 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity yields only modest weight-loss results, and to lose a significant amount of weight, you may need to perform moderate-intensity exercise more than 250 minutes per week (in addition to dietary intervention) So how much exercise do you need in a day? That equates to about one hour, five days per week
The government suggests that those looking to lose a substantial amount of weight, or more than 5 percent of their body weight, should do more than 300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week to reach their goals
If you increase your intensity, you can reap similar weight-control benefits in about one-half the time For example, in one study, women who performed high-intensity interval exercise lost the same amount of weight and body fat compared with those who performed moderateintensity cardio, but they did it while exercising for significantly less time
It’s important to remember that once you hit your weight loss goals, you need to continue exercising to make sure you don’t regain the weight A 2014 study investigating the role of exercise in weight management found that one of the biggest ways exercise helps with weight management is by preventing weight gain (perhaps even more than it helps you lose weight)
Though the ACSM recommends performing more than 250 minutes of exercise per week to prevent weight regain, the HHS says it varies: Some need more physical activity than others to maintain a healthy body weight, to lose weight, or to keep weight off once it has been lost. To both lose weight and prevent weight regain, the ACSM recommends performing strength-training exercises to increase the body’s levels of fat-free mass, which improves metabolic rate. That’s why when Harvard researchers followed 10,500 men over the course of 12 years, those who performed 20 minutes of strength training per day gained less abdominal fat compared with those who spent the same amount of time performing cardiovascular exercise.
