FITNESS
6 TIPS FOR IMPROVING FLEXIBILITY One of the best ways to improve your health and to alleviate any aches or pains is to improve your flexibility. Whether you are very active or quite sedentary, stretching is something your body needs on a daily basis. Here are helpful tips on how to maximize your flexibility in a short period of time: Dynamically warm-up prior to working out. Before you work out, it is important to do more dynamic warm ups, rather than static stretching. This helps to bring fluid to the muscles, tendons and ligaments, making them more elastic. New studies prove that dynamic stretching is more effective in helping your muscles prepare for strengthening, running, or other sports activities. Examples of dynamic warm-ups are squats, lunges, push-ups and jumping jacks. Doing 2-3 sets of 20-30 repetitions warms up your body. Follow a workout with light static stretching. Static stretches are better performed after a workout, when your muscles are warm and you need to maintain their length. After your workout, it is best to lightly stretch the major muscle groups such as the hamstrings, hip flexors, spine and chest. The older you are, the longer your stretches should be. After age 55, you should hold each stretch over a minute per muscle group. With stretching, never go into pain, simply feel a gentle pull and once you feel a release, then you can gently go further into the stretch. Work on full range of motion. During your stretching, work on moving through the full range of motion. For example, with your shoulders, don’t just focus on stretching them at the top of the motion. Move through the entire range of motion and then stretch at the very top. This trains your muscles to activate and relax at the proper times throughout the motion. Learn to breathe properly. Many people during or after a workout tend to breathe more with their rib cage. This pattern becomes worse in times of stress, and is a major reason why people feel tense or uncomfortable in their shoulders. During your stretching routine, work on deeper, but controlled breaths in for 4-6 seconds and out for 6-8 seconds. Focus on making your belly rise and keeping your shoulders relaxed. This helps you activate your diaphragm and train your body to breathe correctly. Stay hydrated. Muscles are mostly made of water and require a sufficient amount of lubrication to work. Just like your car needs oil to lubricate parts and make the engine work efficiently, your muscles need water. In addition, your muscles need the right electrolytes to function, especially potassium, sodium and calcium. Not only should you ensure your body is hydrated enough with water, but at times intake other sports drinks to replenish your electrolytes. Physical therapy and massage. Working out your muscles, running and sports activities place a demand on your body. Muscles can develop trigger points, and tissues can become tighter. Your muscles are wrapped in connective tissue called fascia. This tissue often becomes tighter, especially with frequent use or injury. Having myofascial release performed by a physical therapist, helps to restore the normal function of the muscle and fascial systems. Hands on physical therapy and massage help to gently break up trigger points and adhered muscle tissue. Having a routine PT and massage treatment can help you feel your best.

COOKIES OF THE MONTH November Cookie of the Month: “Bourbon Chocolate Sugar” By Bruce McIntosh, Chef at the Country Club of Asheville Ingredients: 1 ¾ Cup All-Purpose Flour ¾ Cup Dutch Process Cocoa Powder, sifted ½ TSP Baking Soda ¼ TSP Baking Powder ½ TSP Kosher Salt ½ Cup Unsalted Butter, room temperature ½ Cup (8 tablespoons) Unflavored Vegetable Shortening, room temperature
1 Cup Granulated Sugar ¾ Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar 1 Large Egg 1 Large Egg Yolk 3 TBSP Bourbon (optional, replace with 1 TBSP Vanilla Extract) 3 OZ. grated or very finely chopped dark or Semisweet Chocolate 1 Cup Raw/Turbinado Sugar 2 TSP Bourbon
Directions: Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter until no longer chunky. Add shortening and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and uniformly mixed. Add sugar and brown sugar and beat for 1 to 2 minutes until light and fluffy.Add egg and egg yolk, and mix until incorporated; scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater as necessary. Slowly mix in bourbon.Add dry ingredients in two additions, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Mix in finely chopped chocolate. If your dough is particularly soft you can refrigerate it for 10 to 15 minutes or so to make it easier to roll.To make bourbon sugar, combine raw sugar and 2 teaspoons bourbon in a pint-sized mason jar. Screw on lid and shake the heck out of it, until sugar is evenly moistened and looks something like wet sand. Pour into a shallow bowl or dish.Scoop dough into 1 3/4-inch balls (the size of a medium cookie scoop). Roll into a smooth ball, then roll into bourbon sugar until evenly coated (the moist sugar will clump, but that’s the effect we’re going for!)Arrange on parchment lined cookie sheets leaving approximately 2 inches of space between cookies.Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies have settled into shallow domes. They will be set around the edges but still puffed in the middle (they will flatten when they cool). Let cool on pan for 10 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
December Cookie of the Month: "Holiday Meringue Cookies" By Chris Shaw, Holston Hills Country Club Ingredients: 4 Each Egg White ½ TSP Cream of Tartar Pinch of Salt 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar (Superfine) Directions: Preheat oven to 225° F. Mix egg whites with whip attachment in mixer until frothy. Add Cream of Tartar and salt.Continue whipping until soft peaks form. While mixer is on low speed, slowly add sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until it has dissolved and stiff peaks are formed.Using a star tip in a piping bag, pipe out the meringue onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.Bake for 45 min and then turn off the oven. Without opening the door, let cookies stand in oven for 1 hour.Store in air tight container.
