Strong Adults Stay Young (SASY) Exercise Club Join us for low impact aerobic walking every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 7:45 to 8:45 am at the Lodge Ballroom. This is a free group that helps you walk your way to a healthier life. It was great to visit with many of you at our booth at the Car Show on Nov. 2. I hope you were encouraged to give our "Walk Fit" class a try. We are continuing to grow and we always enjoy seeing new faces. The class consists of six different Leslie Sansone "Walk Fit" DVDs. The easy-to-follow routines are set to music with varied tempo. No memorization of routines is required. Four of the DVDs incorporate resistance bands and one adds light weights (bands & weights optional). You can tailor the class to your own needs. The full 1 hour class is a four mile walk, but you can join us for as much as will work for you. You can leave early or arrive later to shorten your walk. If you can't make it three days a week, that's okay too. For more information contact Karen Tuvim at 599-4236 or Kay Masonbrink at 223-3047. It's free and fun! Join us in the Ballroom on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 am. While you should increase the weight over time, Cosgrove* suggests you let the number of repetitions dictate how much weight you start with. Pick a weight that you can definitely lift eight, maybe 10, but definitely not 12 times. Ideally, you'd increase that weight a smidgen every time you do the routine, but since most weights come in five pound increments, he suggests this instead: Do 10 reps in a set the first time, then 11, then 12, and once you're doing sets of 12, increase the weight and go back to 10 reps per set. (His program calls for different numbers of sets, depending on the stage, but two to three sets for 10 to 12 reps is a good rule of thumb). *Alwyn Cosgrove, a coach, gym owner, and writer (alwyncosgrove.com). The information above is from Health US News at health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/ on-fitness/2008/02/08/eight-strength-training-tips-forwomen Our SASY routine consists of twelve exercises to improve strength and balance. We use hand weights but weights are not required to gain the benefits of strength training. Weights enhance muscle tone. So, when the regimen gets too easy, we recommend using weights. The length of the class is usually about 30 minutes. If you have questions regarding this class, please call Jeanne Lincoln (765-7112), Char Weakley (926-2599) or Joyce Kerns (325-8840). | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | DECEMBER 2013 | 26
