Work out better and look good at the same time with new high-tech active wear.

hat do you want from your workout clothes? In the early days of gym memberships, most men would probably have answered “comfort.” And most women would have settled for not looking too much like the guys in their gym.

But today, workout clothing — like nearly everything else in American culture — has gone high tech.

We want our active wear to not only be comfortable, we want it to work for us, making our workout easier, more effective and more enjoyable. From spaceage running suits that wick moisture away from our bodies, to shape-enhancing active wear that makes your body look good before you even hit the gym, technology has transformed how we dress when we work up a sweat.

If you’re looking to enhance your workout with the latest technology, here are the latest hot-shot togs to watch: SHAPEENHANCING ACTIVE WEAR It’s no secret that the average American woman is not happy with her body. Worry over how she’ll look in traditional workout gear has likely kept more than one woman out of the gym — and away from the exercise she needs to look and feel better. Active-wear maker Marika is banking that women will embrace workout clothing that can help them look better — and feel better about how they look — before they even get to the gym.

The company’s Marika Miracles line of shapeenhancing bodywear uses slimming technology and high-tech Elasta-Tight® Dry-Wik® fabric to instantly and visibly reshape the body. A lower-priced, stretchcotton version, dubbed Marika Magic, is also available.

You’ll be able to find the products at retailers such as Lady Foot Locker, Academy Sports + Outdoors and

Sports Authority. A plus-size version sells through www.lanebryant.com.

Dicks Sporting Goods will also offer a private-label version called Shape Tek. The company is also taking its shape-enhancing technology into the fashion apparel realm and will unveil waist-cinching and stomach-flattening tops on QVC. “Consumer demand for high-tech active wear continues to grow,” says Frank Zarabi, CEO and owner of Marika’s parent company, Fam Brands. “We never let the grass grow under our feet, as consumers welcome active wear that improves their workout experience.”

Marika anticipates its shapeenhancing active wear will help the company soar to double-digit sales increases this year despite the stillsluggish economy — thanks to technological innovation. “As garment manufacturers we may not be in the business that people first think of when they hear the words technical innovation, but we’re a perfect example of precisely what drives sales and growth during a recession,” says Carrie Henley, executive vice president and general manager of the active-wear brand.

STAYDRY SPORTS AND WORKOUT CLOTHES If you’re still working out in sweatpants and a T-shirt, you probably dread opening the hamper on laundry day and dealing with the damp, smelly mess your used workout clothes have become. You need to discover Dry-Wik.

The ingenious fabric literally wicks sweat away from your skin, leaving you feeling dry. The fabric can keep you feeling cool during warm-weather activities like biking and hiking, and helps keep skin dry and warm while you are exercising in cool temperatures. Dry fabric and skin also means less chance of rashes or chafing.

You can find virtually any kind of activewear imaginable made from this space-age fabric, from yoga clothing to running suits, ski wear to sports bras.

TONING TOGS AND SHOES By using the same principle that makes resistance bands work for muscle toning, some clothing manufacturers are marketing activewear and other apparel that they say will help tone your body. By applying pressure and resistance on certain muscle groups, the clothing is said to help exercise those muscles, even if you’re not working out. From actual workout wear like pants, tops and shorts, to underwear, the concept of toning togs seems to be catching on.

Of course, toning sneakers laid the groundwork for the concept. Many athletic shoe makers — and even a few fashion shoe lines — now offer products that claim to tone calf and leg muscles through innovative design.

From shape-enhancing active wear to fabric that helps keep you dry and comfortable and shoes that do part of the work for you, high tech workout gear is helping millions of Americans exercise more efficiently, enjoy their workouts more and feel better about themselves while doing it.

Consumer demand for high-tech active wear continues to grow. We never let the grass grow under our feet, as consumers welcome active wear that improves their workout experience.

The alarm sounds early for Jim Longrie, and the U.S. Army veteran does more before 9 a.m. than some people do all day.

STORY BY PAUL KEUP The Reporter pkeup@fdlreporter.com

L

ongrie, an energetic 72-year-old, is typically at the Fond du Lac YMCA by 6 a.m. five days a week for a workout.

Three times a week he swims for an hour, three times a week he goes to a bike spin class and three times a week he runs on the treadmill while training for duathlons and triathlons.

“Health is my big, big motivator,” said Longrie, who also can be seen lifting weights at the YMCA. “When the alarm goes off at quarter after five, it’s pretty hard to get up. Once I get out of bed, then I’m OK. “… When the alarm goes off, I could throw it across the room. Then I look at what the benefits are, and I think the benefits are unbelievable.”

This doesn’t sound like your average retirement, but it’s hard for Longrie to sit still for too long.

“That’s my only motivation … health,” said Longrie, who also enjoys socializing at the Y. “I’m a (volunteer) tax consultant, and I see people coming in on crutches or in a wheelchair, and they are two, three years younger than I am. Not only (at the senior center), I see it all over.”

READY TO ‘TRI’ Longrie, an engineer, and his wife, Betty, a teacher, rode their bicycles in Delafield before she passed away in 1987 after a long battle with cancer.

Longrie bicycled about 50 miles during some weekends when his family lived in Delafield, and he added mileage after moving to Fond du Lac in 1991.

He bought a bicycle from Fond du Lac Cyclery and continued riding, and he joined the Redline

SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2011

e

Triathlon Club a few years later. “I graduated from one sport,� Longrie said, “and then it was like, ‘What about swimming?’ ‘What about running.’ �

The father of Greg and Suzanne began competing in duathlons — typically a three-mile run, a 35-40 mile bike ride, and another three-mile run — more than 10 years ago, and he also rides in several charitable bike events.

He couldn’t resist another challenge.

Longrie wanted to compete in triathlons, but there was one problem — he couldn’t swim more than perhaps a “doggy-paddle.�

Evelyn McLean-Cowan often bicycles roundtrip with Longrie from Fond du Lac to Lomira during the summer, and she was surprised a few years ago when Longrie mentioned his desire to take swimming lessons. “I said, ‘You mean you want to learn to be a better swimmer?’ And he said, ‘No, I don’t know how to swim.’ He had to learn to swim,� McLean-Cowan said. “It’s hard enough to learn as an adult, but it gets harder as you get older. He was gung-ho about learning to swim. I think that is really admirable.�

HOPPING IN THE POOL Longrie began going to the Fond du Lac YMCA pool in the fall of 2008 with a small group of friends to learn how to swim competitively. “Initially, when I hopped in the pool, I was even afraid to put my head in the water,� said Longrie, who turns 73 in June.

He was a quick learner, though. “He’s taken it to the other extreme where he’s just so comfortable in the water he could go for hours — literally,� said Pat Hoepfner, a YMCA employee who helped lead the group. “If he had to cross the lake and get there comfortably, he could do it.�

Longrie, in fact, was 71 years old when he competed in his ďŹ rst sprint triathlon — a quartermile swim, a 16-mile bike ride, and a two-mile run — in July 2009 in Pewaukee.

He tries to do four duathlons and one to two triathlons per year, and he typically ďŹ nishes in the top three in his age group — an accomplishment in itself since there aren’t many people over the age of 70 competing in endurance events. He typically ďŹ nishes sprint triathlons in 2 to 2½ hours and duathlons in 3 to 3½ hours. “The accomplishment of doing it is satisfactory,â€?

Anybody can do it. It just may take longer depending on your situation.

I would highly recommend it. If they have the time and can do it, they should do it because the beneďŹ ts are so great from the health point of view. – Jim Longrie said Longrie, who is diabetic. “Again, I do it for health.

The people at the Y, you have to give the Y credit because they spent six months teaching me to swim.�

Hoepfner reminds Longrie that it takes a willing learner to accomplish what he did. “Jim is very involved in learning how to do things on his own,â€? Hoepfner said. “All he needed to do was to get in and start going. ‌ He’s very determined. There is nothing that stops Jim. The energy level is there. He’s a little older, but he doesn’t let new things stop him.â€?

Swim, Bike, Run. Join the Fun!

HUMBLE ‘HOOAH’ Longrie doesn’t stop very often.

In addition to his exercise, he volunteers as a tax consultant at the Fond du Lac Senior Center, and he helps his brother, Bob, deliver Meals on Wheels two days a week in Sheboygan County.

He also takes one- to two-month motorcycle trips, going to places such as Wyoming, Colorado and California.

Last summer, he rode his Harley-Davidson to Glacier National Park, Mt. McKinley National Park, Jasper Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Custer State Park and Badlands National Park to name a few — a trip that totaled 9,738 miles on his motorcycle.

This spring, he will ride with other veterans to Washington, D.C. for Memorial Day. When he’s back in Fond du Lac, he keeps active with his Y workouts while encouraging other members. “I don’t think there’s a person in the building who hasn’t heard his (Army expression) ‘HOOAH,’�

Hoepfner said of Longrie, who served in the 32nd Division with active duty at Fort Louis, Washington in 1961 and ’62. “No matter where you are in the building, he’s exclaiming that loudly.�

Longrie’s greeting is meant to motivate others — and himself. “He’s very humble,â€? Hoepfner said. “He doesn’t have a reason not to do it, so he’s going to do it.â€? ‘ANYBODY CAN DO IT’ Longrie doesn’t like to draw attention to himself, but he hopes other people — of all ages — will consider trying triathlons or other endurance events. “Anybody can do it,â€? Longrie said. “It just may take longer depending on your situation. I would highly recommend it. If they have the time and can do it, they should do it because the beneďŹ ts are so great from the health point of view.â€?

McLean-Cowan, who herself has ďŹ nished sprint and Olympic triathlons, is motivated by Longrie. “He’s really friendly, supportive, positive, a great person to be around, and he’s always encouraging other people,â€? McLean-Cowan said. “He’s a great example by the things he’s done.

People feel, ‘I couldn’t do that because I’m too old.’ He’s proven that is not the case. If you want to go out and try that, you can probably do it.�

iron woman G

Most people go on a Hawaiian vacation to hang loose, but Tami Gabrielse went to swim, bike and run.

She wasn’t there for a leisurely island tour, though.

BY PAUL KEUP The Reporter pkeup@fdlreporter.com PHOTOS SUBMITTED

abrielse qualified for the prestigious Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, last October, and she finished a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run.

“It’s the first Ironman that I crossed the finish line and immediately wanted to do another one,” said Gabrielse, 39, a Redline Triathlon Club member from Elkhart Lake. “It usually takes a couple weeks before I want to do another one.

“I got the lei around my neck, and I wanted to do it again. I’m hungry to go back.”

The Ironman World Championship is the Super Bowl of triathlons, challenging endurance athletes to swim through rough ocean waves before biking and running through tough terrain.

“It was unbelievable; it’s hard to put into words,” Gabrielse said. “It was

everything I thought it would be and more. The competitiveness is there in the field, but it’s a good vibe. The weather is … hot and windy, and there are tons of fans cheering for you.”

‘HERE’S MY GOAL’ She took a spinning class after college, and instructor Rob Boldt encouraged her to race mountain bikes, which she did for a few years.

After a friend did a triathlon, Gabrielse thought, “ ‘If she can do this, I can do this.’ It snowballed since.”

She made her debut in 2000 at the Elkhart Lake International Triathlon, which features Olympic distances of a 0.93-mile swim, a 27.1-mile bike ride and a 6.2-mile run.

She ran the Chicago Marathon in 2001 and qualified for the Boston Marathon.

Just two years after her first triathlon, she competed in the Ironman Wisconsin in Madison.

“I just thought that sounded really cool,” Gabrielse said. “I jumped at it and signed up. I basically decided I was going to do it. Here’s my goal.”

BALANCING FAMILY, WORK, TRAINING Tami and her husband, Matt, have two sons — Tyler, 5, and Levi, 2½ — but she balances being a full-time mom, a part-time third-shift worker at Bemis and an Ironman triathlete.

“I don’t know how I do it,” she said.

SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2011

“I enjoy it. It’s something I want to do.

If it’s something you want to do, you’ll make time to do it.”

It helps to get support from family.

“From my family, they get it; they know me,” Gabrielse said. “Other people kind of wonder how I do everything I do. I find so much joy in training, and I might as well be training for something.

“My mom comes once a week to baby-sit so I can have a good four-hour workout. I guess they never thought I was crazy.”

Tami’s mom, Jeanenne Thompson, followed her footsteps and completed a triathlon in Madison in 2003.

After Tami became a mother, she got back into training for triathlons.

“Racing Madison after having children, I think, meant more getting across the finish line than prior to having children,” Gabrielse said. “It’s a whole different dynamic.”

She placed first out of 128 competitors in the 35-39 age group to qualify for Hawaii.

In Hawaii, she was able to experience the hot and windy weather, including one time when she thought the wind was going to blow her over.

She finished in 11:35:16.

“It was definitely tough,” she said.

“As long as I know I’m giving it my best … there is no shame in that.”

She will compete in an Ironman qualifier in St. George, Utah on May 7, and a top-three finish in her age group will qualify her for Hawaii.

“The key with the Ironman is not slowing down,” Gabrielse said. “You don’t have to be the fastest, as long as you can maintain an equal pace … at the end of the day.

“So much of it is mental. I hate to say it’s 80 percent mental and 20 percent physical, but there are times it feels like that.”

IRONWOMAN Gabrielse has completed six Ironman triathlons — four in Madison, one in Idaho and one in Hawaii — and she estimates she has done about 30 triathlons overall.

She finished with a time of 10 hours, 46 minutes and 25 seconds in Madison in 2009.

“I truly was at peace with my race,” she said. “I didn’t have any idea where I was place wise.”

ADVICE FROM ‘AVERAGE JOE’ Gabrielse majored in Exercise Leadership at Concordia University Wisconsin, and she is certified as a USA Triathlon coach.

Her busy schedule doesn’t permit clients right now, but she still has advice and encouragement for people who are considering doing a triathlon.

“Not that I’m quoting, but the Ironman mantra is ‘anything is possible,’ ” Gabrielse said. “I truly believe

that. If you really want to do a sprint triathlon, and your goal is to finish it, develop a plan and find people or things who will help you get to your goal.

“If you don’t know how to swim, go to the Y and get a swim coach. …

Anything is possible if you put in the effort. You never know what’s possible if you don’t try.”

Her training consists of running for up to 2½ hours (about 20 miles), biking six hours outdoors (120 miles) or four hours indoors, and swimming for 85 minutes (about 3.5 miles), and good nutrition is essential to maintain that regimen.

“I eat right; I fuel my body right,” Gabrielse said. “I listen to my body. …

It means eating vegetables and fruits and whole grains and protein.

“A lot of people think you have to cut out (carbohydrates). People start exercising to lose weight, and they drastically reduce carbs, but as an endurance athlete you need to have them. That’s what you need for fuel.”

Gabrielse’s competitive nature fuels her, too.

“Unless you try, you never know,” Gabrielse said. “I am your average individual who is just achieving bigger things because I am striving for them.

I’m not that extremely talented in any of the three disciplines, but I can do them all well.

“If I can do this, anyone can do this. I truly am an average Joe.”

keep spring workout mania going year-round

As the weather gets warmer, people think about getting outside and becoming active again. Warm weather and longer days provide the natural motivation that many folks need, but it also can be challenging getting back into the swing of things if the weather has kept you from pursuing a consistent workout regimen.

S

o as you plot out your plan to regain your form, think about mixing workouts into your routine that will help you remain active throughout the year so you can avoid the same difficult transition next year. Here are a few tips to follow as you construct an exercise plan that can be continued even after the good weather passes: CONSIDER A GYM MEMBERSHIP While you might prefer to enjoy the outdoors during workouts when it’s nice, a health club can offer the same opportunities when the weather isn’t great, whether it’s the summer or winter. Many clubs have groups such as running clubs, which provide some extra motivation because the group workouts are scheduled at a specific time.

Not everybody has access to a community pool, or their local pool is only open for a few months out of the year. A swim spa provides another way for people to access water, whether it’s just for fun or for exercise, year-round.

– Michael Phelps

Fitness instructors at the clubs may also be able to help you formulate a plan for staying active throughout the year. Check to see if your health insurance provider offers a discount on club memberships, as many providers do with the condition that you visit the club regularly.

BRING THE GYM HOME While gyms provide a year-round location for exercising, finding the time and motivation to make it there can present an extra barrier. That’s why for some, buying a piece of workout equipment for the home is a better and more convenient alternative.

Today’s home workout equipment has come a long way from the flimsy home treadmills of years ago, with swim spas representing some of the most innovative tools. Using wave propulsion technologies, swim spas offer the same benefits as a pool without taking up nearly the space at a fraction of the cost.

World champion swimmer Michael Phelps, who will be incorporating the use of a swim spa in his own training, provided input on the design of a signature line of swim spas for Master Spas.

“Not everybody has access to a community pool, or their local pool is only open for a few months out of the year. A swim spa provides another way for people to access water, whether it’s just for fun or for exercise, year-round,” says Phelps.

FLOOR SPACE Look for workouts that can be completed in a small indoor space. For example, yoga and Pilates workouts offer extensive physical benefits, yet only require a little bit of open floor space. Learn by enrolling in classes or through videos. Other beneficial stationary circuit workouts comprised of body-weight exercises like pushups and sit-ups don’t require much space either. An added bonus

of using a swim spa is you can also use it for these types of land-based workouts and water aerobics. To learn more about swim spas and the benefits they can provide, visit michaelphelpsswimspa.com.

Being able to stay active all year ultimately means

finding a routine that continues to be interesting and fits into your daily life. So as you figure out how you are going to get back into shape this spring, try some new things that you can potentially continue through the winter and see what works best for you.

The Agnesian HealthCare Center for Bone & Joint Health is preparing for its annual Sports Performance Enhancement & Explosive Development (SPEED) program this summer for area youth athletes.

SUBMITTED BY AGNESIAN HEALTHCARE

S

ports medicine team professionals will host the program beginning June 13 and concluding the week of July 29; it is open to boys and girls in Grades 7 to 12. The middle school sessions are separate from the high school, and focus on running form and body weight exercises.

SPEED offers team-oriented sessions that incorporate team building and sport-specific skills.

Sessions also include dynamic stretching, multi-directional strength training exercises, core strengthening and balance training. Teams will meet two days per week for 1.5 hours. There is pre- and post-testing performed at the first and last sessions that measure some of the following: 10-yard dash, 40-yard dash, broad jump, vertical jump and agility.

In 2010, the boys’ groups saw increases in their broad jump by almost three inches and 1.25 inches in the vertical. The 40-yard dash had a decrease of about .10 seconds; if the pre-test was 4.3 seconds, the post-test was 4.2 seconds.

The girls’ group had a decrease in the 40-yard dash of .20 seconds and an increase in the broad jump of 5.5 inches. The girls had a similar increase in the vertical jump of 1.25 inches.

The Agnesian Center for Bone & Joint Health Sports Medicine Team utilizes a digital timing system, similar to the National Football League (NFL), called Sparq, to obtain the most accurate times for the 10- and 40-yard dashes and the pro-agility. The Sparq equipment is a set of cones that emits a laser beam. The timing is triggered when the first beam is crossed and ceases when the second beam is crossed by the athlete. Digital timing eliminates the human error that often occurs with hand timing.

“Our electronic timing has helped many athletes show high school and college coaches exactly how fast they really are, without any questions of who was doing the timing and just how accurate it really is,” says Tyler Schwarz, a Licensed Athletic Trainer.

“This timing system is similar to what they use for high school and college combines.”

The SPEED program is available to all local high schools — Campbellsport, Fond du Lac, Laconia, Lomira, Mayville, North Fond du Lac, Oakfield, St. Mary’s Springs, Waupun, and Winnebago Lutheran Academy; and middle highs. Coaches interested in team sessions should call immediately to reserve a

session time and days. There are a minimum number of athletes needed per session.

The brochure can be downloaded at: www.agnesian. com/sports_spine_work_center.html. The cost of the program is $75 if registered by June 1, 2011. After

June 1, the price is $90 for the seven weeks. A SPEED T-shirt is included in the registration fee.
