MONTHLY
FEBUARY 2015
Sacramento’s Premier Full Service Athletic Club
President’s Day
Monday February 16, 2015
The Club will operate on a modified schedule 8am-6pm Monday
2/16/2015 in honor of the President’s day Holiday. When the
Club is on a modified schedule
your children 12-21 are welcome

Stretching Your Limits
Tues., Feb. 24th; 6:30 p.m.
If you constantly feel “tight” or
have injuries that arise after you
exercise, your flexibility may be
to blame. In many cases, with all
our movements and activities, we
sometimes neglect this critical
aspect of our wellness. In other
cases, we may have overdone
stretching in a fashion that is
painful or counter-productive. If
you think that you may fall into
one of these groups, join CAC’s
Bruce Coolidge for Stretching
Your Limits. This workshop will
cover stretching and flexibility
in progressions that keep you
safe and injury-free as you train.
This workshop will include an
overview followed by a practical
session to teach you how to get
the most from your stretching.
Dress comfortably as movement will be part of this session.
To attend, simply register for a
reminder call/e-mail at the CAC
front desk.

(rescheduled from January 13th due to

Often with the New Year, we

Here at CAC, we want to help
you in your review of all things
related to your health.
Accordingly, CAC has invited
In this six-week series you will

most sensual and sophisticated of
partner dances. Think you have 2
left feet? Think again! If you can
walk, you can dance the Tango.
Instructor Chris Peake will guide
you through the basics of the
dance. With a strong emphasis
on correct technique, posture,
partner connection and musicality, you will graduate with a solid
foundation on which to build...
of partners during class is encouraged for faster learning and
mastery of technique.
Chris Peake is the co-founder
of Firehouse 5 Dance, located
in Sacramento. He has been
dancing Tango since 2005 and
has studied with some of the
world’s most-renowned masters
of the dance. He teaches weekly
classes in Sacramento and several

Point Reyes National Seashore-Bear
Valley Hikes Saturday, April 18
Join CAC as we head outdoors
for our springtime hike to Point
Reyes National Seashore. This
trip includes 2-3 trail options
(dependent on trail conditions)

of hikers. Working through the
lush coastal forest and out to
the bluffs with incredible ocean
views will prove a great respite
from the day-to-day droning of
city lift. Whether you come for
a delightful outdoor workout or
to recharge your batteries, you’ll
find this trip a delightful way to
address either. Look for the trip
registration binder at the member
activities desk early in February.
We look forward to getting you
all outdoors.

Fitness Dos and Don’ts
Which is the most balanced exercise
plan?
·Walking, weight lifting, and
FEBUARY‘15
All three are important. Aerobic or “cardio” (walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, tennis,
basketball) boosts the strength
of your heart and lungs; strength
or “resistance” training (weight
lifting, resistance band exercises,
etc.) help to keep your muscles
and bones strong, and help with
balance and coordination; and
flexibility exercises (yoga, stretching, tai chi) can improve your
range of motion and reduce your
risk for injury.
Do your cardio exercises before your
strength training.
·False.
There is no “correct” order for
cardio and strength-training
exercises -- but it may make a
difference if you have a specific
goal in mind. If your primary goal
is endurance, do cardio first. If
it’s building strength or burning
calories, do resistance training
first. This gives your body the energy to focus on your main target.
The most important thing is
to get enough of both types of
exercise every week.
You’ll get more fit doing 30 straight
minutes of exercise than by doing 10
minutes three times a day.·False.
The CDC recommends at least
150 minutes a week of moderateintensity cardio/aerobic activity or
75 minutes of vigorous-intensity
aerobic activity, or some combination of both. It’s fine to spread
out your exercise over the course
of the day. Stick to a minimum of
10 minutes at a time, though.
Anyone with a medical condition and anyone over the age of
45 should talk to their health
care provider before beginning an
exercise program.
If you play singles tennis instead of
mowing the lawn, you’ll get the same
You can get the same fitness
benefits in half the time with
vigorous exercises. That includes
jogging, swimming laps, cycling
fast, playing tennis or basketball,
or another sport that involves a
lot of running, according to the
CDC.
You should warm up every time you
exercise and cool down afterward.
· True.
Many people don’t warm up
before exercise or cool down, but
they should. A warm-up period
of light aerobics -- slightly raising
your breathing and heart rate
-- can prepare your muscles and
help prevent injury. A brisk walk
or a steady bike ride for 5-10
minutes – or until you break a
sweat -- should do the trick.
sports drinks can be just as good
-- or better. Sports drinks can
provide energy in the form of
carbohydrates and replace electrolytes lost through perspiration.
That helps you perform steadily
for a longer time.
Talk to a doctor before starting an
exercise program if:
Ready to start exercising? Great.
Just check with your doctor first.
It’s particularly important if you
are over 45 (man) or 55 (woman),
are taking prescription medication, or have a long-term health
condition such as heart disease,
diabetes, or arthritis.
Also check with a doctor if you
have had dizziness, shortness of
breath, or pain in the chest, neck,
jaw, arms, or other areas.
You should do each exercise in
strength training until it’s hard to do
more.
A cool-down period helps your
body recover from the workout.
To cool down, simply continue
your exercise session but at a
lower level of intensity. Include
gentle stretching to loosen your
muscles, tendons, and ligaments
to help prevent soreness and
injury. The President’s Council
on Physical Fitness and Sports
recommends 5-10 minutes of
cool-down.
·True.
How much water should you drink
before exercising?
Be sure to lift slowly and use the
right form when strength training, because bad technique can
lead to injury.
·25 to 28 ounces.
Working your muscles to the
point of tiredness is a good way
to strengthen and tone them. If
you’re lifting weights or using
weight machines or resistance
bands, start with one set of eight
to 12 repetitions, then work your
way up. Once you can do 12 repetitions of an exercise with good
form, increase the weight slightly.
It’s important to stay hydrated
before and during exercise. Remember, it takes a while for fluids
to move through your system.
Drink about 20 ounces of water
two to three hours before exercise
and 8 more ounces about 25 minutes before you start. Drink about
10 ounces of water every 10 to 20
minutes during your exercise.
You can target specific parts of your
body to lose weight
Water is always better for rehydration
than sports drinks.
Which “mind-body” exercise can
improve your fitness?
·False.
Many “mind-body” exercises are
known for improving flexibility,
strength, and balance. Most of
them, though, also can improve
your fitness level. There are many
types of yoga, and some of them
Water is usually the best way to
rehydrate, especially for most
people doing normal, daily
exercise. But if you’re exercising
vigorously for more than an hour,
·False.
Spot reducing is a myth: You can’t
target specific parts of your body
for weight loss. To lose fat and
weight from a specific area, you
have to do regular physical activity that works your entire body.

forms of Pilates involve robust
strength training. And tai chi
improves agility, heart function,
and overall fitness. Think about
adding these exercises to your
warm-up or cool-down periods.

The best time to exercise?
Whenever you can make it a part
of your regular routine. Research
shows that your body will adjust
to whatever time of day works
for you. Some studies suggest
physical performance peaks in
late afternoon. Other studies
suggest that morning workouts
may help you sleep better. The
most important thing is to pick a
time of day you can stick with. Web MD.
