Importance of Core Strength

Many people may not realize how much our larger core muscles influence our everyday life. We have all done situps and push-ups, but there is more to exercising your core. The muscles in our abdomen, trunk and even pelvis need to be in harmony in order to achieve better balance and stability, either on the field, court or for everyday activities. Many of the exercises that target our core do not require any type of specialized equipment. Doing something as simple as a “bridge” can strengthen muscles in the pelvic area. You can enhance strengthening by adding any type of resistance or weight. If you strengthen the muscles in your core, everything from swimming, playing golf, or even bending over to tie your shoe will be easier. Strengthening your core can improve posture and minimize lower back pain. There are also many low-impact activities that target our core and are simple to do, even for beginners.

Moving into your new home can be an exciting and stressful time. With all the closing documents and SCOV governing documents, it can be a bit overwhelming. We understand. However, please take a moment to review those documents again and check to see if there were any unresolved HOA violations that need your attention. These violations don’t just go away after you move into your new home.

According to SCOV governing documents, homes with violations are to be inspected 30 days after you close. The individuals charged with that inspection process are volunteer members of the Architectural Inspection Group (AIG) who live in our community. They give their time and ability to ensure this community stays the treasure it is now.

If one of these AIG volunteers comes to re-inspect your property, please be kind and understand their key role in our community. If you need more time to correct something, please politely let them know or call the SCOV Conveyance Coordinator at 520-917-8087 to request an extension. We will do our best to help. We truly thank you for your cooperation in our mission.

Everyone has trash cans. Some store theirs in the garage and others have made investments in order to keep their cans on the side of their homes. Section 2.5 of the Development Standards is pretty clear: “All Trash Containers must be covered and stored on a lot not visible from Neighboring Property or the street.” There are suggested materials that can be used to achieve this. If we can see your trash cans, then you have not invested enough to hide them.

It is not sufficient just to have them behind a gate, short piece of wall, a single bush or your primary AC unit. We all know the term, “Out of sight, out of mind.” If you can see blue, it’s time to consider an upgrade.

While the paper phone book is updated just once a year, the online directory is updated monthly. You can even access the directory on your smartphone, which means you have a community directory in your pocket.

The directory is located in the non-public area of our website, so you need to log in to access it. Scroll down to the actual listings. There you will find the directory’s search box, which will display results as you type. To see additional columns, such as hometowns and emails, use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the listings, or swipe left and right on your touchscreen.

Email addresses are not included in the paper book, but if you choose, you can add your email address(es) to the online directory. To update your listing in the directory, complete the online form “Change your directory listing.”
