| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | APRIL 2018 | 29 HEALTHY LIVING Tip of the month: Eating slower is one of the most effective and easiest ways to avoid overeating. Not only will you take the time to actually enjoy what you're eating but you'll also give your body the time it needs to send the message to your brain when you're full. Eating too fast means that by the time your brain receives the message that you're full, you've already consumed far too much. It actually takes around 20 minutes for your brain to get this message, so make it a habit to slow down and savor your meals. There's another benefit to eating slower. When you wait for the signal to tell you you're full, you obviously eat less because your body recognizes it's had enough. And eating less could help you lose weight or at least control it. It's not about starving yourself – slowing down will still result in eating enough food, but you'll also lower your calorie intake at the same time. Hope you found this helpful. We meet Wednesdays at am in the Multipurpose Room. If you have any questions about our program, please contact: Dave & Karen Tuvim, 599-4236. Join our FREE classes on Class Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 am. We are sad to say goodbye to our mascot, Noble. She returns to her training in Guide Dogs of the Desert. She holds a three pound weight in her mouth today to honor her time with us. We love our Noble. Achieve Weight Loss Through Strength Training: Strength training provides many benefits: Lifting weights helps you tone your muscles up and decreases your risk of injury. It can help you look leaner and it's a great way to firm up trouble spots like "bat wings" on your arms. Building muscle brings plenty of additional benefits, including: • increasing endurance and flexibility • protecting and possibly reducing pain in your joints • increasing bone mass (which helps prevent fractures and degeneration from osteoporosis) • increasing your energy level And doing some exercises to improve strength can also help you slim down. Surprised? There is a myth that using weights can cause women to bulk up. But using light or medium weights will not have this effect. So, if visions of a burly bodybuilder pop into your head when you think of strength training, it's time to change your mind, because getting stronger will help you get slim quicker than aerobic exercise alone. We do start early so the class isn't for anyone who gets out of their pajamas at 10 am. We welcome all and hope you will stop by to check out our program. You will have fun. If you have questions regarding this class, please call: Jeanne Lincoln (765-7112), Char Weakley (926-2599), Joyce Kerns (325-8840). Strong Adults Stay Young (SASY) "Walk-Fit" Exercise Club Spring is here, with all its unpredictable weather. But mornings in the ballroom are comfy-cozy. Why don't you join us "inside" for an early morning walk - aerobics class? There is nothing healthier than getting your body moving and moving is what we do. The class consists of eight different Leslie Sansone "Walk Fit" dvds. The easy-to-follow routines are set to music with varying tempos. The complete class is four miles, but you can come late or leave early to shorten your routine and work at your own level. A few of the dvds incorporate resistance bands (always optional). Some class members add light hand weights for added strength training. Stop by and give us a try. NEW MEMBERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!! Class Schedule: Mon., Wed., Fri. 7:45 to 8:45 am in the Lodge Ballroom… plus the class is FREE!
