EDITOR’S LETTER

Fall a Perfect Time for Fitness Leaves turn from green to vibrant reds and yellows and oranges in October, which makes this the month to get outside to see nature’s brushwork first hand. INstride recommends doing so while getting exercise on a bicycle, and we’re helping out by offering you some good bicycling routes you might want to try.

Inside today’s edition we’re also introducing you to Dalane Anderson, who wanted to get in shape for her son’s wedding, and now that she did that, she wants to stay in shape. You’ll also meet some men playing competitive tennis into their 50s, and a man who turned to Crossfit to get in shape for a 350-mile jet ski event.

Butternut squash is our Fresh Pick for October, and all our regular fixtures also are in place.

We’re about to enter the holiday season once again, and in November and December we’ll be doing our best to help readers have a festive time without packing on some extra weight.

Stay tuned for that.

For now, enjoy the leaves and the weather.

Hoosier cyclists get into gear for the season

By Olivia Druckemiller s the leaves start to change colors, the bicyclists change their routes.

What could be a better time than the fall to enjoy a colorful bike ride?

According to the Bloomington Bicycle Club’s ride coordinator, John Bassett, the best routes to see those fall colors are going to be in “the hilly terrain east of west Bloomington.”

“The club has close to 100 mapped routes that leave from Bryan Park into these areas,” Bassett said. “They are hilly, so there is some work involved in seeing those colors.”

One popular route is Round Rosie.

Round Rosie is a 29-mile route formerly used by the Hilly Hundred bike tour, and only has a few hills.

Another route that is best done in the fall, recommended after the boat traffic on Ind. 446 has died down, is the Hoosier Hills 60K. Also known as “the ride around the lake,” this route is a longer ride of 40 miles and is said to be more challenging than the Round Rosie.

Morgan Monroe State Forest Ride, also known as “the forest loop,” is a 37-mile ride that will be the toughest of the three. “Be sure to eat your Wheaties before you try this hill,” Basset said.

All these routes can be done in around 3 to 4 hours for cyclists in reasonable shape.

With the weather cooling down, cycling is a great way to stay active and stay outside.

Anyone interested can participate in the club rides.

“We have rides catered to all levels of riders and led by knowledgeable ride leaders,” Bassett said. “Many in the club ride year round.”

The rides are posted on the club webpage: bloomingtonbicycleclub.org .

ark Luxnat, 50, an accelerator operator with the IU Cyclotron for over 25 years, has participated in the annual Grand Tour jet ski since 2000. This event benefits Leader Dogs for the Blind, a Rochester, Mich.-based non-profit organization that has raised $285,000 in the past 16 years.

To train for such event, this year Luxnat decided to use a different form of training than he’s used before.

“I really decided to join Crossfit since my 50th birthday was coming up, and I wanted to be able to continue doing the things I love like softball and the Grand Tour,” Luxnat said.

Crossfit is a strength and conditioning program used by many police academies, military special operation units and everyday people who want to stay in shape. Luxnat has been training with Hoosier Crossfit for the past nine months and couldn’t be happier with his results. “Crossfit has dramatically improved my recovery time from years past,” Luxnat said. Not being sore on the second day after riding 150 miles the day before is a great feeling, he says, and thanks to crossfitting Luxnat was able to keep up with the rest of the group “with only a little difficulty.”

Luxnat has made many friends from all over by participating in the Grand Tour event and getting to come together each year is such a great opportunity for them all.

“The major motivation for me is the challenge it provides, 350 miles on Lake Michigan, on a small craft like a jet ski, can be very difficult,” Luxnat said. “And of course there’s the fact that you’re helping someone who is visually impaired make a better life for themselves.

He said Crossfit is a good match for the ride.

“It strengthens my whole body while retaining flexibility, and the attitude is perfect,” he said. “I plan to continue crossfitting and riding in the Grand Tour for many years to come!”

Mark Luxnat and his jet ski hit Michigan waters each year

Leader Dogs for the Blind gives mobility and independence to the visually impaired through the use of dog guides.

The Grand Tour event lasts for three days during the “Leader Dog-days of Summer.” Participants ride 350 miles along the coastline of Michigan on their watercraft.

It’s not a competition. It’s a chance for everyone involved to complete a challenge together knowing the reward is helping so many. The cost to raise and train one leader dog is around $45,000, along with training the dog and recipient together. This year the group riding in the Grand Tour got a special opportunity to name one of the new puppies coming to the organization, a black lab. As a group they chose to name him Jet.

Bloomington woman raises the barbell for son’s wedding

T

he announcement of her son’s wedding really got Dalane Anderson in the mindset to make a change.

“I wanted to be proud to walk down the aisle with my son,” Anderson said.

Another factor that was weighing Anderson down and pushing her to think about fitness was her mother, who had to have heartvalve surgeries and her knees replaced. Her mother was also diabetic, a hereditary trait Anderson knows could be coming her way if she isn’t healthy.

“I decided I wanted to do everything I could to break the cycle,” she said.

Anderson started training last July with Hannah Murray in Murray’s garage before B-Town Barbell even opened.

“Once I got started training with her, I was hooked,” Anderson said.

Before starting to work out with Murray, Anderson did not exercise.

When told to run to the end of the block, only three houses down, Anderson wasn’t sure if she would make it.

“I started her out just running around 100 feet,” said Murray.

Murray put Anderson on a nutrition challenge to learn how to

“She’s done really well.”

“I continue to workout even though the wedding is over,” Anderson said. “I am happy to say that ... I am still going strong.”

Anderson has become stronger through all this—“I’ve seen her deadlift 210 pounds, which is really impressive,” Murray said.

Since training and successfully getting in shape, Anderson and a good friend ran three 5K races and are looking to sign up for their first half marathon in December.

And seeing how she has gotten into shape, her husband and daughter have gotten involved and now workout at B-Town Barbell as well. Not to be outdone, her son and daughter-in-law followed suit and joined a gym in their town too.

Buttering Up for Fall Fall favorite butternut squash, part of the gourd family with its hour glass shape, is considered a fruit due to its seeds.

The butternut squash is packed full of health benefits. They are low in fat and contain the perfect amount of dietary fiber, making the fruit heart healthy. Butternut squash also contains potassium, which is good for bone health and its vitamin B6 content aids the Nutritional info nervous and immune systems. per 1 cup serving The distinct pale yellowTotal fat 0.1 g orange skin indicates an Cholesterol 0 mg abundance of nutrients called Sodium 6 mg carotenoids.

Carbs 16g This superfood’s antioxiProtein 1.4g dants can help block against breast cancer and age-related macular degeneration and can also reduce the risk of inflammationrelated disorders like rheumatoid arthritis or asthma.

When choosing a butternut squash, strive for those that are unblemished and feel heavy for their size. Look for matte skin, not glossy skin. Glossy

skin indicates the fruit was harvested too early and won’t be as sweet.

When storing squash whole, keep it in a cool, dry place with lots of ventilation but not the refrigerator— humidity in your fridge can cause the squash to deteriorate quickly.

Uncut squash will last for up to three months if stored properly.

Keep cut squash wrapped in the fridge for no longer than a week.

When cooking the squash, wholeliving.com recommends cooking squash on a cookie sheet and baking in the oven for about an hour or until it can be pierced with a sharp knife. Then remove the skin with a vegetable peeler and cut the flesh for steaming or sauteing. Once the fruit is cut it can be mashed for soup, folded into pasta, or even eaten as is.

Butternut Apple Bisque If there’s such a thing as autumn in a bowl, this is it. Rich, creamy butternut squash, tart Granny Smith apple, dash of curry, and you’ve got a warm, spicy dish that’s sure to be a hit as an appetizer or a meal all by itself.

Add curry powder and sauté 3 more minutes, being careful not to burn. Add squash, apple, and vegetable stock to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 20-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Puree the soup in a food processor or blender and salt to taste.

Variation: For some extra spice, add 1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and chopped, to the pan at the same time as the onions, or add chopped candied ginger as a garnish before serving.

Set & Match Btown tennis players talk fit after 50

By Seth Tackett

P

ete DiPrimio was there because of the competition and the opportunity to challenge himself.

Greg Poore was there in large part due to his daughter.

The 2013 Bloomington City Tennis Tournament featured a couple of newcomers to the Men’s 50 and Over final, and while the destination was the same for DiPrimio and Poore, the path wasn’t.

Neither DiPrimio nor Poore had ever even been to the finals and both were non-factors in last year’s tournament. DiPrimio fell in the semifinals and Poore in the first round.

But there they were on Sept. 13 in the final against one another.

On one side of the net was DiPrimio, a 54-year old sports writer originally from Pennsylvania, who has been described as “obsessed” with fitness. He picked up the game after a few knee operations ended his long-distance running career.

“I look at it that one person’s obsession is another person’s dedication,” DiPrimio said. “I lift weights, I ride my bike, I play racquetball, I play tennis. I work out seven days a week.”

While this workout schedule may seem hectic to some, it’s the norm for DiPrimio. He’s been at it since the age of 13 and now is a fitness instructor at the Monroe County YMCA. Fitness and quickness is the name of the game for DiPrimio, because he knows he is not going to overpower most competitors. He must now rely on his conditioning to get him over the top, and in this year’s tournament, it has.

DiPrimio knocked off Greg Miller in straight sets in round one and then sent former champion Dave

Stewart packing in a three sets, 3-6, 6-0, 6-4, to advance to the final against Poore.

“I think people put limits on themselves in terms of fitness,” DiPrimio said. “If you eat right and take care of yourself, and if you’re lucky and avoid injury and illness, then your 60s can be your 40s, your 70s can be your 50s.”

On the other end of the court was Poore, a 52-year old real estate tax consultant, originally from Anderson.

Poore didn’t pick the game of tennis, the sport kind of picked him.

After losing in the first round of last year’s tournament, Poore turned to a familiar figure in his household for help: his daughter Kacy.

Kacy is a 16-year-old sophomore at Bloomington High School South and played the 2013 season as a member of the Panther’s No. 1 doubles team.

“Kacy really got serious at 9 years old and started playing and getting good,” Poore said. “So she would take a lesson and then give me a lesson. Whatever she would learn, she would teach me.”

October 2013 • INstride 13

The daughter/father lessons have been going on for the past six or seven years and have included lessons on a two-handed backhand, footwork and fitness.

“She taught me how to move my feet and stay in shape. So I lost some weight,” Poore said with a laugh.

“It’s been great for our relationship. It’s fun. It’s a great time for Kacy and I.” Poore heeded his daughter’s advice and it paid off as he beat Chi Song in a three-set battle for the 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 win to advance, after he cruised past Chad McGlone in the opening round.

“Last year Chi Song found out I was going to be 50 and suggested I play. I was very happy to get past Chi to make it to the finals,” Poore said. “We played three full sets that took three hours and I have never played tennis for three straight hours.”

While the journey to the final match was different for DiPrimio and Poore, fitness beyond 50 is a common denominator.

Both men lead active lives where exercise isn’t a chore, it’s just an everyday occurrence.

For DiPrimio exercise is as routine as waking up, brushing his teeth and going to work.

For Poore, it’s that extra time that he gets to spend with his daughter.

With a modest goal of winning just one match, Poore did much more than that with his daughter cheering him on as he defeated DiPrimio in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, for his first-ever city tennis title.

“He has improved a lot over the past year,” Kacy said.

“I knew he would do a lot better this year. He’s a very smart player.”

For DiPrimio, the loss wasn’t a setback, but incentive for next year.

“It was satisfying to make it to the finals, but disappointing not to win,” DiPrimio said. “Greg thoroughly out played me. He’s a very good player, a classy guy, and deserved to win.

“It (the loss) does provide motivation for next year.”

ACHIEVE COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

By Molly Packard and Susan Woods

Keeping the weight off Jim Kobow knew he had been overweight his entire life but instead of getting discouraged, he decided to do something about it when he reached his heaviest weight of 344 pounds.

Jim decided to register for the Disney Half Marathon with his wife Margie. He finished the race in a little over four hours. When he crossed the finish line, he realized his weight-loss journey had just begun. In July of that same year, he turned 50 years old and had lost 50 pounds. To continue to live a healthy lifestyle his wife encouraged him to sign up for the Monroe County YMCA Weight Loss Program.

Not only did he participate, but he was also asked to blog about his weight-loss journey. Jim decided blogging about his experience would be a great way to hold him accountable as well as inspire others to make healthy habits (Find Jim’s previous blog posts at monroecountyymca.wordpress.com). He took the class in the fall and lost over 40 pounds.

After the end of class, Jim completed another half marathon to measure his progress. He ran the Zappo’s Rock n Roll Half Marathon Las Vegas 11 months after his first one. Jim finished 45 minutes faster than his previous time. Jim knew the Weight Loss Program would help him stay accountable for weighing in, but little did he know it would also be a great support system.

Facts about the class The class is taught by trained healthy lifestyle coaches as well as certified group exercise instructors to teach the exercise portion of class.

The program encourages a low fat diet along with physical activity to help participants lose weight and keep it off. The six-week program meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 p.m. The first half hour consists of weighing in and nutrition education taught by the YMCA nutritionist, and friendly discussion among participants. The last half hour consists of exercise.

Each weekly session explores practical topics essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Examples include: healthy eating, increasing physical activity, healthy lifestyle skills, managing stress, recipe sharing, and staying motivated.

How much weight you lose will depend on how much dedication you put into the program. However, the average amount of weight loss per person is about nine pounds per session. The overall program has lost 307 pounds total since it began in September 2012.

The next sessions will begin Tuesday, Oct. 15, and Tuesday, Nov. 25.

In this monthly feature, INstride and local fitness experts introduce you to different accessories for an active lifestyle. This month, Adam Schaeuble of Next Generation Personal Training in Bloomington highlights spinning—indoor cycling. Mary Ann Bough demonstrates.

Spinning classes utilize indoor bicycles and their own series of exercises and intervals for a challenging cardio workout with lower-body intensity.

Seated Climb This is a great spin position to strengthen those legs and build cardio endurance. This is appropriate for any level, because the fitter you get the higher you can turn the resistance knob. n Start in a seated position on the bike with your shoulders relaxed, hands on the handlebars in front of your hips, and chest up tall. Pedal. n Turn your resistance knob to the right, a quarter turn at a time, until your pace slows to 80 rpm. n Slide your hands forward a little bit, lowering your chest closer to the handlebars in a more aggressive body position. n Focus on keeping your upper body relaxed with minimal movement as those legs heat up by pushing down and pulling up on the pedals. n After 1-2 minutes, add more resistance and lower the speed to 70 rpm. n After another 1-2 minutes, add more resistance and lower the speed to 60 rpm. Climb at 60 for 4-5 more minutes.
