56 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2022 The Hula Hoop Club has been running for 12 weeks now. I cannot believe it! Most of us last hooped in grade school. Wow! So far, we have learned 14 different moves and tricks: Waist hooping, jumping through the hoop, finding the gap, catching the hoop, thrust, dip, and wiggle-up. Hoop dancing, walking while hooping, and a 360-degree spin. We also learned hand hooping and how to do the weave, the ladder, roll bounce, and the whirlpool. Did you know there were so many moves, and we are still learning more? "Wow" again! This club is for everyone. Come on down and have some fun! You can start slowly and gently, or really challenge yourself if you like. Set your own pace. If this is your first time, please show up at least 15 minutes early so I can review a few basics with you before we begin. We have a fun class, and it is free to join. We meet on Fridays at 7:30 am in The Lodge Ballroom. No experience is necessary. For more information please email: FSHoopsters22@gmail. com or call (909) 534-4918. ~ Regina Thomas Hula Hoop Club Why is Pickleball so addictive? The game is addictive because you rarely get the same shot twice! The height, speed, angle are always different. It takes practice and exercise to perfect your skills. Is Pickleball a good workout? A good aerobic workout with less strain on the joints and muscles can be achieved. The bioamines that are released with all exercise are helpful to fighting depression, which is more common in older age. Is Pickleball bad for your back? Side-to-side movements, spine rotation, bending over, jumping, and running all place Pickleball players at risk for developing lower back pain in the spine if not stable. What are the benefits of playing Pickleball? The low impact of the game makes it great for boosting your mood and mental health as well as burning calories and avoiding injuries. The same benefits of other regular exercise can be found in the work of your balance and agility that come from playing a game of pickleball. How do I start playing Pickleball at Four Seasons? Wear your court shoes and come see us at the Pickleball courts! We have balls and paddles for you. Let the fun begin! ~ Karen Rose, karen.rose@ espmgmt.com Pickleball Pickleball Tournament at Four Seasons! Be a part of our next tournament and enjoy games, prizes, and friendship.
