They Said it Couldn’t be Done...

It was a typical overcast morning in San Francisco. The fog was starting to lift over the city as it came to life on a cold Saturday morning, April 14, 2012.

Hyde Street Pier was alive in those Pre-dawn moments, teeming with nearly 100 people eagerly anticipating the moment where they would jump off the boat anchored at Alcatraz island and make the 1.4 mile trek to shore! It was the culmination of approximately six months of open water specific training.

While the weather was overcast, the conditions in the water were spectacular.

The 53-degree water had favorable currents. All of the 50+ kids made it across, a tremendous accomplishment for all involved!

The success of the weekend wasn’t done yet! The next day was the 1.2 mile swim across the Golden Gate Bridge! The boat dropped off the group of 65 swimmers just outside the San Francisco Bay on the West side of the south tower. The flood tide provided a cross current that pushed the swimmers under the bridge, to the boat which was waiting on the East side of the north tower. Though these swims were only two about two miles apart they are very different swims, each its own unique adventure. Training will begin in the fall for the 2013 edition. Join us next year and Escape Your Limitations with us!

way into fit

Have you ever heard someone say that ‘abs are made in the kitchen’?

Well, it’s true! Reality is, to get the physique you want you have to watch what you eat. Naturally, you need a consistent workout plan, but that alone will not help you drop those unwanted pounds. If you are training hard but not seeing the results, most likely your food choices are the problem.

10 | bet terlife summer 2012

That’s right, good nutrition starts at a grocery store. I understand that shopping can be a displeasing task. We are faced with many options

by Diana Mikolajewska, and temptations are lurking in every aisle. Even if Healthy Lifestyle you fight them off and manage to make it through the Coach & student of store without buying anything you do not need, you Integrative Nutrition have one more enemy awaiting you—the checkout line. Fear no further! With little guidance healthy choices are just a cinch away. Simply follow these ten tips for smarter grocery shopping.

1Don’t shop hungry.

I myself am guilty as charged. When you are hungry everything looks good, and an empty stomach often results in impulse purchases that may not be the healthiest. If you don’t have time to eat, grab an apple in the produce section and snack on it as you are shopping. Better yet, drink plenty of water prior to entering the store to fill up your hungry tummy!

2Plan ahead.

Before you even set out for the market, plan your meals for the week and create a grocery list.

It takes a few minutes, but it will save additional trips to the store for missing ingredients, help you avoid getting sidetracked with making unhealthy choices, and save you a few dollars and several hours on the treadmill. So, make a list and stick with it!

3Use coupons.

Who said eating healthy is not cheap? Whatever the case, it is worth the investment.

Medical bills and prescription drugs are not cheap either. Check the weekly grocery ads and incorporate sale foods into your list and meal planning. Buy in bulk or visit your local farmers market for fresh deals!

4Stay on the perimeter.

8Get real.

5Mix it up.

9Read labels.

Center isles are a danger zone, as they are typically filled with processed ‘junk food’. Avoid any temptations in those aisles by staying clear of them at all costs. Fill your cart with fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grains, dairy (preferably organic), lean meat, poultry, fish, and nuts.

Most of us tend to eat same foods all the time, which is OK, assuming they are healthy options.

However, the reality is that we all make mistakes.

To fuel your body with a variety of nutrients, try a new fruit or vegetable each week.

Seriously, I am amazed by how many people don’t know what kale is.

If you are one of them, try it!

6Go organic, or not?

You get same nutritional benefits with organic choices just with fewer pesticides. Organic can be slightly expensive but if you follow the Dirty Dozen & Clean Fifteen guide you will save money and spare your body the pesticides it does not need!

7Grow up.

Stay clear of food with cartoons on the labels, and colorful tempting boxes. They are nothing but a marketing ploy without any nutritional value.

They are targeted towards your children and typically mean unhealthy choices. Flavored instant oatmeal, colored sugary cereal, yogurts with fruit at the bottom (or top), and fancy granolas sure taste yummy. Don’t give in! Yours kids shouldn’t eat it, and neither should you. Only difference is you as an adult should know better, they do not. Opt for healthier substitutes, use fresh fruit for flavor, and leave the colored boxes with false advertisement on the shelf. Both you and your kids will benefit from this smart decision.

DIRTY DOZEN

(buy these organic)

Choose real foods with as few additives as possible and avoid foods that contain more than five ingredients. If one of the first ingredients is sugar or high fructose corn syrup do not buy it. My personal rule of thumb, if I cannot pronounce it or I don’t know what it is, I do not buy it.

It’s pretty simple, really—Google it!

Learning to read food labels empowers you to make informed decisions about what to buy and eat. Paying attention to calories, fat, and serving sizes when you shop gives you an advantage for weight management and healthy choices. Once you learn how to interpret what the listed nutrients mean, you will be much closer to reaching your health and fitness goals. Take the time to learn this task. Yet another great investment!

Don’t be afraid to switch up some of the 10Substitute. ingredients in a recipe, or a meal. More often than not it won’t taste much different, but it’ll mean a significant difference in your waist size and the type of nutrient you are feeding your body. Substitute lettuce with spinach, white potatoes with sweet potatoes, sour cream with plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise with hummus, white pasta with whole wheat, and salted or sweetened trail mixes with plain or raw nuts.

Just remember, it’s the little things that matter.

At the end of the day, bad decisions add up into bigger waist size, and smarter ones add up to smaller number on the scale, better energy, and more nutrients in your body!

Use the Dirty Dozen & Clean Fifteen chart provided and start making wise, healthy choices for optimum long-term results.

Good luck!

on Vacation?

How to stay on track when you’re off the beaten path

Are you looking to stay in shape on your summer vacation? It is a tough task to manage with beach, family, and summer activities distracting you from your workout routine. We have put together some easy tips to help you stay on track when you are out of town.

Time is always a tough obstacle to manage. First, plan time for your workout. The best time is in the morning as it will get you going for the day and jumpstart your metabolism. You will also get it out of the way so you can enjoy the rest of the day.

It is also key to have a small breakfast before you start your morning workout. A recommended pre-workout meal is 15 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbohydrates. This will give you enough fuel for a great workout and get your metabolism going.

Enjoy yourself, but remember not to blow all your hard work and your fitness level while on vacation.

Your vacation workout can be short and sweet. An easy, simple workout is a 30/30 workout which consists of 30 seconds of work and 30 seconds of rest. It is an easy pattern to follow. First, start with a five-minute warmup. The warmup could be a five-minute jog on the beach. After the warmup, the workout is five bouts of 30 seconds with the 30-second rest between each bout. The 30 seconds of movement can be movement of your choice, but you have to stay moving for the full 30 seconds. Once you are finished with five bouts of 30 seconds, take a five-minute rest. You can repeat as many five-bout sets as time allows. It’s important that during the 30 seconds of work, you need to be pushing your heart rate hard. It needs to be challenging as long as it is within your physical limits. For example, if you can’t squat, then squatting is not a good choice.

Stay with movements that you can handle, that do not cause any pain or discomfort. Once you feel the 30-second bout is too easy, you can move to 60 seconds of work and 60 seconds off. The minute of work can be two 30-second exercises together or one exercise for a full minute. An example of two exercises in one minute of work would be to perform squats for 30 seconds and then 30 seconds of push-ups.

If you have time, repeat with the same five or a new five. Once you are finished with the 30/30 workout, take five minutes to walk or stretch. Also, a cool-down period is key to recover for your next training session.

This workout is without equipment, but it does not have to be. If you have exercise equipment, feel free to use it in the 30/30. Be creative! It is fun to add different movements into your workout to add variety and alleviate boredom.

by Spencer Tatum, Fitness Director at DC Ranch

Why do the 30/30 workout? The 30/30 workout will not only burn calories, but also increase your metabolism.

The 30/30 workout is a metabolic resistance training workout. Metabolic resistance training is a combination of resistance training and interval training in which you are increasing your cardiovascular training, maintaining or promoting lean muscle tissue, and creating an afterburn or EPOC effect. The EPOC effect is key in fat loss. The afterburn/EPOC effect will allow you to keep burning calories 38 hours post workout.

You will still be burning calories while you are laying on the beach. Who doesn’t like that? I would recommend performing the 30/30 workouts two to three times a week. You will need an active recovery day between training sessions. Your active recovery day can be a bike down the beach, steady state jog, or beach walk for 30 to 40 minutes. It will flush your muscles and get you ready for your next workout.

When on vacation, it’s easy to stay fit, just put it into your schedule. Remember, staying fit is about balance.

So enjoy yourself, but remember not to blow all your hard work and your fitness level while on vacation.

Pilates

for Rehabilitation

14 | bet terlife summer 2012

Did you know that pilates is used for many types of rehabilitation, such as recovery from injury/disability, chronic conditions like low back pain, injury prevention and even recovery from surgery? We have certified instructors at each of our Clubs that work one-on-one with clients to help with specific problems they may have.

We checked in with Kara Rice, certified pilates instructor at DC Ranch, who possesses many impressive credentials, such as a Bachelors in Kinesiology, Masters in Occupational Therapy, Certified Pilates Teacher, Certified in Kinesiotaping, Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist and Certified in Functional Capacity Evaluation. With Kara’s extensive education and experience, we asked her to tell us some of the Pilates Principles for Rehabilitation that each client and instructor focuses on during each pilates session.

BREATHING The breath is integrated into every movement in order to keep our awareness on what we are doing, to improve the flow of oxygen throughout our tissues and improve lung capacity.

The use of breath in Pilates is taught as a way to enhance the contraction of the core musculature during exercises for increased stability. When we exhale our diaphragm moves upward as it recoils back from the downward movement of the inhale. When we exhale with intention we can feel our abdominals draw inwards and the ribcage wrap together. For example, try exhaling as if you are fogging up a mirror. Feel how your abdominals automatically want to draw inwards.

CONCENTRATION Without concentration the exercises lose their form and their purpose. Joseph Pilates stated “It’s better to do 5 repetitions perfectly than 20 without paying attention.”

Clients are taught to perform limited repetitions of exercises. Clients are constantly educated on maintaining proper posture during exercise. The correct muscles are utilized including postural stabilizing muscles in the scapula, spine, and hips.

The constant focus on proper form helps the client integrate these movements into their daily lives.

CONTROL To be in control is to understand and maintain the proper form, alignment, and effort during an entire exercise.

Again, clients are educated on controlling their movements in order to maintain proper form and alignment. Maintaining proper alignment during distal movements of the extremities helps to engage the whole body.

CENTERING All movement radiates outward from the center.

Rehabilitation teaches practitioners to strengthen proximal to distal. Pilates has also educated clients to begin all movements from the center, or “core.” The client must stabilize through their core to perform upper and lower extremity movements correctly.

The goal is for the client to use this information in their daily activities. If the client performs exercises daily from the center radiating outward, the clients body will subconsciously engage the core when lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying, etc.

PRECISION Precision is the end product of concentration, control, centering and practice.

BALANCED MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT Understanding, developing and maintaining correct alignment and form is essential to Pilates. It creates improved posture, decreased pain and enhanced physical abilities.

The human body is created with muscles that produce opposing movements on one another. Creating the perfect balance between an agonist and antagonist muscle group supports the skeleton and surrounding tissues. Posture can only be held effortlessly with balanced musculature. Our work, sports, and daily activities create repetitive stress on our muscles and joints that misalign our bodies natural muscular balance. Pilates movements help reproduce the balanced muscle development needed to protect our joints from injury.

Rebecca Yzaguirre works with clients on proper Pilates technique for maximum benefits

RHYTHM/FLOW Flow creates smooth, graceful and functional movements. It promotes decreased stress on our joints.

Decreased stress on our joints equals decreased injury.

WHOLE BODY MOVEMENT Integrating movement into flow; integrating mind and body into clarity and purpose.

Pilates is a mind-body experience. We use our mind to create intention for moving our body in certain directions/positions. The Pilates mind must focus on all aspects of the body and breath to create the essence of the above stated Pilates Principles.

RELAXATION It is important to understand the balance between effort and relaxation in order to be healthy in mind and body.

As important as it is to understand how to move a muscle, it is important to understand how to relax and disengage that same muscle. Relaxation is especially important for the postural stabilizing muscles. They are frequently being over-worked by being held out of alignment. Clients are educated to “turn off” these muscles in order to create the intended movement with the correct muscles.

It’s here! The time to wear skirts and shorts, sleeveless and short sleeved tops. Time when we are outdoors, baring much more skin than we did during the winter. This skin exposure can be a little jarring—with white legs blaring out from under those skirts, and dry skin needing a re-birth of its own after being subjected to the indoor winter dry air.

16 | bet terlife summer 2012

With summer upon us, we want to have skin that is glowing, fresh and smooth but how do we achieve this? Jackie Washington, licensed esthetician at The Spa at DC Ranch Village has given us a few quick-fix tips to get our skin ready for summer!

Living in the Sonoran Desert our gams and arms are exposed 8 months out of the year, so it’s important to pay attention to these areas as well as our face. Jackie recommends two quick fixes to get these areas ready for summer.

All Over Body Scrub This is a very easy, yet important step on the road to looking summer fabulous. Using a sugar or salt scrub all over the arms, legs and stomach is one of the best ways to get rid of and exfoliate winter dead skin, which instantly provides better absorption of body moisturizers, which is also very important in the summer months.

By sloughing off dead winter skin, your fresh skin is ready to receive the products you put on it. Once your body is exfoliated, any spray tans, bronzers, or moisturizers will also apply nicer and absorbed better, ultimately giving you a better result! Also, shoulder-exposing dresses look much better on fresh skin, providing that natural shimmer and shine we all love to have.

Another quick, easy fix is to get a spray tan.

Once you have exfoliated your body from head to toe, invest a little bit of money in a professional spray tan.

The results are immediate, and will instantly get rid of the whiteness-sallow color, giving you that beautiful fresh feel at an inexpensive price. In addition, having a spray tan will keep you focused on an anti-aging regimen, keeping you out of the sun and keeping your skin healthy. Once you have a nice spray tan you will not feel compelled to sit in the sun to achieve a bronzed glow.

Summerizing the Face Dermaplaning This is a process of exfoliating skin cells using a specialized blade. This treatment offers instantaneous gratification because the face is

Refresh your face and feel fresh with an eyebrow wax If you can’t get a professional facial or a dermaplane, get fresh by cleaning up your eyebrows.

This subtle trick will change your look ever so slightly and give your eyes a bright look. Another inexpensive option is getting a lash tint, which will also makes your features pop without breaking the bank.

Jackie’s top tips and focus for achie ving be autiful summer skin Get rid of that dead skin cell layer from winter—the process of sloughing off this dead skin brings great benefits that we mentioned above, and Jackie notes that if you don’t remove this dead cell layer you will

Get professional care as much as you can on a regular basis and then purchase good quality home care products to use in between your professional treatments.

instantly brighter and smoother due to the exfoliation of dead winter skin that makes the face look dull and aged. The beauty of dermaplaning is that it offers exfoliation with the bonus of de-fuzzing the face, so your checks, chin and jawline are smooth and free from any hairs or peach fuzz. The primary purpose of dermaplaning is exfoliating dead winter skin cells, exposing a buffed, smooth, glowy face, with better absorption of face product and less product used, ultimately saving money. Make sure to search out a licensed esthetician who is trained in dermaplaning for this treatment.

Microdermabrasion Microdermabrasion has all the same benefits of dermaplaning without the de-fuzzing. Microdermabrasion is the process of using a specialized machine that uses tiny rough grains to buff away the surface layer of skin. This skin smoothing technique still offers instant gratification and is a lighter version of dermaplaning. Microderm is a better option if you will be back out in the sun the next day.

Also, get professional care as much as you can on a regular basis and then purchase good quality home care products to use in between your professional treatments. This will allow you to consistently provide your skin with the right products to take care of your skin. Remember it’s an ongoing process— but the benefits are worth it!

And of course—all these treatments are offered at all three Village Spas!

Jackie Washington is a board certified esthetician at The Spa at DC Ranch Village Health Club with extensive skin care training as well as training with professional grade lines such as Jan Marini, PCA, Eminence (organic) and Phytomere, which are available at The Village Spas at Camelback, Gainey & DC Ranch.

Facial Who doesn’t love a facial! Get out of hibernation and treat yourself to something nice by wrapping up in some me time. A facial is a relaxing, therapeutic skin procedure that also provides many benefits for the face. A nice, general facial will clean out and detox the pores, circulate and improve blood flow to the skin as well as oxygenate the cells. A professional facial steams the face (which draws out the impurities), exfoliate and hydrate the skin. Facials are a great treatment to do regularly to keep the skin healthy.

It’s HOT. Know the signs of heat exhaustion

18 | bet terlife summer 2012

to protect

yourself, friends + family!

Heat exhaustion is a condition causing heavy sweating and a rapid pulse, a result of your body’s temperature overheating. It’s one of three heat-related syndromes, with heat cramps being the mildest and heatstroke being the most severe. Causes of heat exhaustion include exposure to high temperatures with high humidity usually during strenuous physical activity. Without prompt treatment, heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke. Fortunately, heat exhaustion is preventable.

Know the signs of heat exhaustion:

TREAT it:

• Cool, moist skin with goose bumps when in the heat

If you notice the signs of heat exhaustion, immediately administer the following steps:

• Heavy sweating • Faintness • Dizziness • Fatigue • Weak, rapid pulse • Low blood pressure upon standing • Muscle cramps • Nausea • Headache

PREVENT it: There are precautions to prevent heat exhaustion and other heat-related illnesses. When temperatures climb, remember to: Wear loose fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing.

Excess, dark or tight clothing holds in heat and doesn’t let your body cool properly because it inhibits sweat evaporation.

Rest in a cool place. An air-conditioned building is the best, but at the least, find a shady spot. Rest on your back with your legs elevated higher than your heart level.

Drink fluids. Stick to water or sports drinks. And not drinks that are too cold. Don’t drink any alcoholic beverages, which can contribute to dehydration.

Apply cool water to your skin. Take a cool shower or soak in a cool bath. Don’t use alcohol on your skin which can dehydrate it.

Loosen clothing. Remove any unnecessary clothing and make sure your clothes are lightweight and nonbinding.

If you don’t begin to feel better within one hour, seek prompt medical attention.

Avoid sun directly on your skin. If you’re going to be outdoors, wear a lightweight, wide-brimmed hat or use an umbrella to protect yourself from the sun, and apply sunscreen to any exposed skin.

Seek a cooler place. Being in an air-conditioned building, even for just a few hours, is one of the best ways to prevent heat exhaustion. At the least, find a well-shaded spot. Fans alone aren’t adequate to counter high heat and humidity.

Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated will help your body sweat and maintain a normal body temperature. If your doctor has told you to limit fluids because of a health condition, be sure to check with him or her about how much extra you need to drink when the temperature rises. Avoid alcoholic beverages.

Take extra precautions with certain medications. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the medications you take make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion and, if so, what you can do to keep your body from overheating.

Avoid hot spots. Let your car cool off before you drive away. Never leave children or pets in a parked car for any period of time.

Making Good on a

Great Promise

After recovering from major surgery, this Camelback Village member worked hard to achieve a goal she fell short of ten years ago.

Judy Isaacs had promised herself that she’d be in great shape on her 50th birthday. Despite working out on and off, she wasn’t focused enough to meet her goal, and the day came and went with a promise unfulfilled.

Fast forward nearly ten years, and Judy was compelled to undergo major surgery. This was in November 2011, and it took her a full two months to recover. While she was at home resting, she ate a lot and gained a considerable amount of weight. What she saw in the mirror wasn’t the picture of herself she had in her mind, and this time she vowed to really do something about it.

By the time she was released for normal activity in January, she could see her 60th birthday coming fast and furious at the end of May. She used that day as her new marker, and made a commitment to herself to do what needed to be done to get in shape.

She hired a trainer and changed her diet, and is thoroughly enjoying the fruits of her labor. “Now I can keep up with my husband—and my grandson,” she says with a smile. “The lifestyle choices I made are giving me tremendous quality time with my family.”

We sat down with the “new” Judy at the Camelback Village to hear her story and find out what it’s been like for her to finally make good on a great promise. the village What’s been the key to your success? judy isaacs There have been so many things that got me to where I am today, but I have to say that the biggest thing has been staying focused. I always worked out, but I would go for a while, then take time off…It was never very consistent. Now I have a personal trainer and a nutritional counselor who keep me accountable.

How has working with a trainer helped you keep your commitments? I’ve had several great trainers over the years, but changed to Shanae Lee in January. I like her so much! She’s perfect for me because she inspires me and doesn’t let me get stuck on a plateau.

How did you find her? I spoke to Lia Pulver at the Village after my surgery and asked for someone who could keep me focused on my goal. I don’t like to do a lot of talking.

When you’re training for a half an hour, you don’t want to waste a minute of it. So she introduced me to Shanae Lee, who turned out to be everything I could have ever asked for. She pushes me and makes sure that I get a good workout. She’s aware of my neck and back issues, and always adjusts the workout to how I’m feeling each day. She’s absolutely incredible!

How often do you work out with her? Twice a week for a half an hour, usually in the morning at 9 or 10. It’s pretty flexible, but I definitely get in two days with her each week.

How have you changed your diet since you recovered from your surgery? That’s been another big part of keeping me on track. My husband and I travel and eat out a lot, so I needed a structured program that works well with my schedule. In January, I started the MediFast program, and in four months I’ve lost 25 pounds and 65 inches.

How have the changes you’ve made changed your life? For the better! Not only do I feel a huge sense of accomplishment to have finally reached the goal that I set for myself ten years ago, but I’m also having the time of my life with my family. I have so much more energy than I used to. I used to suffer from fibromyalgia, but now that’s not a huge burden anymore. Probably the most important thing is that I’m better able to care for my one-yearold grandson, who I watch two days a week. Before I made the commitment to exercise and lose weight, I was really struggling to pick him up and play with him. I even pulled my back out once and couldn’t watch him for two whole weeks.

But now we’re having the best times together!

Is your whole family here? Yes. My son and his wife moved back here two years ago, and my daughter just moved back six months ago. It’s so nice to have my family back and be able to enjoy them. My son and daughter-in-law are also Village members, and my son works for my husband’s business.

Judy and her husband in Maui this spring Judy rocked a bikini for the first time since her twenties!

What kind of business is it? They manufacture fresh citrus juices and mixes for food service. If you have lemonade at Wendy’s, for example, you’re drinking our products! My husband was a CPA who always wanted to own his own business, and he got this opportunity 16 years ago, which he enjoys very much.

Is your husband as committed to his health and fitness as you are? My husband’s always been an active, early morning person. He plays tennis and loves to hike Echo Canyon trail on Camelback Mountain. A couple of months ago, though, he ruptured his Achilles tendon and he was going a bit stir crazy. I suggested that he go to Shanae, and now he’s hooked! He likes working out with weights, and for cardio she put him on the upper body bike.

Is there any advice you can give to other people who want to get in shape, or back in shape? I feel really blessed to have different areas of support, starting with my family and extending out to Shanae and the counselors at MediFast. Having a team of people cheering for you and keeping you accountable really makes it easy to reach your goals.

summer 2012 bet terlife | 21

Do you do any other type of exercise on your own?

Yes, I like to swim laps. The pool is very relaxing and great exercise.

How does that work with your traveling? It’s really easy.

Actually, the first week I was on it we were in San Francisco, and I just packed up all my Medifast Meals and was really strict about the one “Lean & Green” meal I was allowed each day. I’d have oatmeal in the morning using boiling water from the coffee maker in the hotel, I’d have a couple high protein bars if we were walking around during the day, and at night when we went out I’d have a meal with a portion of protein and a lot of vegetables. The only thing I couldn’t have was alcohol, but that wasn’t too hard to give up.
