2009 Top Fitness Trends
Saw Mill Club Offers Them All.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) has published its top fitness trends for the upcoming year.

For the second year in a row, boot camp-style workouts are predicted to be the top fitness trend for 2009. Another trend? Getting more for the money, says ACE Chief Science Officer Cedric X. Bryant, PhD, in a news release. The overarching theme for fitness in 2009 is getting more bang for the buck.

Here’s the ACE’s top 5 trend rundown:

1. Boot camp-style fitness programs.
2. Workout plans that are less expensive. Saw Mill:  Small Group Training
3. Specialty classes like Zumba, Bollywood, Afro-Cuban, and ballroom dancing. These classes are set to rhythmic music and aim to increase cardiovascular fitness while folks have fun.
4. Circuit training. Circuit training blends strength training and cardiovascular activity at different intensities. SMC is home to TechnoGym SmartKey.
5. Event or sports-specific exercises. A focus on the simple things, like basketball or volleyball games, or day bike rides. SMC Kinesis is designed for functional movements.

Water for Health
Staying hydrated for back-pain relief and overall well-being

Water is your body’s primary chemical component, making up approximately 60% of your weight; every system depends on water-including your back. Water helps flush toxins out of your organs, carries nutrients to your cells, regulates body temperature and creates a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Water keeps our organs and joints moist; the more water you drink, the more your muscles, organs and joints will be able to perform and heal efficiently.

After oxygen, water is the single most vital substance your body needs to maintain life.

Low-back pain has been linked to dehydration, and some doctors now recommend increasing water intake to help alleviate some back pain.

How much to drink?
Aim for 8 - 10 glasses (250 ml) a day. If you’re eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, soups and other liquid-rich foods, you’ll probably need less drinking water in your diet.

How to get the water you need?

* Try adding a slice of citrus, or a no-calorie drink mix to your water-for flavor.
* Drink a glass of water before and between each meal.
* Hydrate before, during and after exercise.
* Drink sparkling water instead of alcohol at parties and gatherings.

• Try Group Training: Kinesis I Martial Arts I Boxing I Boot Camp I Stability Ball
• More Fitness with Group Exercise, Spinning

Regular exercise can reverse age-related brain decline, according to a U.S. cognitive neuroscientist.

Prof. Art Kramer, of the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois, says there’s substantial evidence showing the benefits of aerobic exercise and physical activity on such executive-control brain functions as task coordination, planning, goal maintenance, working memory and the ability to switch tasks.

As people age, a deterioration of white and gray matter in certain areas of the brain can cause cognitive decline, Kramer explained. He reviewed published research and found that several studies showed that regular moderate exercise that makes a person breathless increases the speed and sharpness of thought, the actual volume of brain tissue, and the way in which the brain functions. - The AGS Foundation for Health in Aging
