| 3rd Annual LGSRC Team Tennis Challenge | |
![]() LGSRC will be holding the 3rd annual LGSRC Team Tennis Challenge. This is a non-sanctioned (non-USTA) event, held only for LGSRC tennis members. There will be four teams, each captained by a member of our teaching staff (Vince, Jeff, Noi, Tina). Each team will be composed of an equal number of NTRP rated players that will represent their teams at their respective levels. The format will be a round robin tournament, consisting of three rounds of one-set match play. Each team will have singles and doubles ranging from 3.0 – 4.5. Each set won will count as a point for your team. Total games won will be used as a tiebreaker. The scoreboard will be updated as matches conclude, so you can track your team’s progress. After all matches conclude, we will announce the 2010 champion team and then start our barbecue and triples tournament. This event is a lot of fun and last year had 50 entries. Space will be limited so sign up ASAP. Registration can be emailed to proshop@lgsrc.com or called in at 356-8363. Date: March 27th, 2010

| Proper Postural Alignment for Optimum Neuromuscular Efficiency | |
![]() Posture Every movement needs a base from which to generate and accept force; this is better known as posture. Posture is the alignment and function of all components, at any given moment, a term meant to describe the way in which you are moving your body. Posture is often viewed as being static (without movement). However, everyday posture is constantly changing to meet demands placed upon the kinetic chain. Importance of Posture Proper postural alignment allows optimum neuromuscular efficiency and ensures that the muscles of the body are aligned at proper length and tension--allowing for proper joint mechanics and effective absorption and distribution throughout the kinetic chain, alleviating excess stress. Without proper postural alignment, the body is situated for degeneration. Altered movement patterns result from muscle imbalances (due to repetitive movements) and can place unusual stresses on the joints. Permanent structural changes begin to form in the soft tissues and, more likely than not, can eventually lead to injury. For more information on postural alignment please see one of our certified personal trainers or contact Fitness Director Dave Lyons. |

| Group Exercise Reminders! | |
![]() We are reminding all members to try out our Group Exercise Classes! Summer is coming and group exercise is a wonderful way to get and/or stay fit. The 2005 issue of the Journal of American Academy of Physician Assistants recommends that people exercise with a partner or group because they "are more likely to stay on track." The group encourages exercisers to involve family members, or friends. Other benefits of group fitness: You’re more likely to complete a well-rounded exercise routine and to get a potentially tougher workout. “In a class, the instructor can say, ‘let’s pick up the pace.’” If you are new to group exercise, introduce yourself to the instructors and let them know of any limitations you might have in regards to exercise. See you there!!! The Wednesday 12:00pm Vinasya Yoga time will change to Wednesday at 11am. It will continue to be an hour class and Linda Wagner will remain the instructor. The instructor will provide modifications for any participant that needs a pose modified to fit their fitness level and/or concern. |
