LAP POOL RE PLASTERING IN AUGUST
Lap pool closure during Re-plastering beginning August 7th
We want to give all members a heads up regarding the re plastering of the lap pool starting August 7th. Ventura County has made it mandatory for us to re plaster the pool this year. We worked with Rick, Elin and our contractor to find a time where the activity of the lap pool was less than other times of the year. We know that there is not a perfect time but early Fall tends to be very busy and Winter months can be risky with wet weather. The construction will last a couple of weeks with additional weeks required for water to fill and temps to rise without cracking the new plaster. We predict close to 6 weeks for the pool to be completely back to normal. We appreciate your patience and look forward to a new lap pool!
MARK YOUR CALDENDARS!

THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE…BUT IT MAY NOT BE TOO LATE
By Corkey Solow, Certified Personal Trainer
A recent study shows that exercise absolutely keeps the skin younger, and it may also reverse the skin’s aging, even in people that begin exercising later in life
We’ve all heard that exercise is good for everything from boosting your mood to improving your sex life. It can add years to your life, help control your weight and help prevent or manage a wide variety of health problems including stoke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, arthritis and even certain kinds of cancer. It may also help you sleep better and can be a fun way to connect with family or friends. We look better and feel better. All that is great but I may even be able to slow down the aging process of my skin? Yes please!
After about forty we begin to notice wrinkles and sagging skin. This is a result of the changes in the layers of our skin. The outer, protective layer, the stratum corneum begins to thicken. Composed of mostly dead skin cells and some collagen it gets dryer, flakier and denser. The layer beneath the epidermis, the dermis, begins to thin losing elasticity. The skin becomes more translucent and saggy. These changes are inevitable even without the extra damage we inflict by poor skin protection from the sun. Sounds hopeless, doesn’t it?
But, there is a bright side. A recent New York Times article reported that researchers at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada began studies with a population of people ages 20 to 84. About half of the participants were active, with the rest being what we would call sedentary. Long story short –samples were taken from the participants’ buttocks (a spot that was presumably less likely to have had exposure to sun.) After a 90-day exercise program with moderately strenuous activity to at least 65% maximum heart-rate intensity, the formerly sedentary participants had a remarkable change in their skin, related to their myokine components (small proteins released during muscle contractions). It caused the top skin layers to thin, and the subsequent layers to thicken - reducing sagging and wrinkles. The final stages of the study focused on volunteers age 65 or older. Again the results were remarkable. By the end of the study the outer and inner layers of the volunteers’ skin looked very similar to that of a 20 to 40 year-olds. After only 90 days! Now that’s encouraging!
Of course, we all need to continue safe sun habits, and continue to fuel and hydrate ourselves well. But this information gives us all yet another good reason to hit the gym!
You can find me at the Club, turning back the clock for myself and my personal training clients. If you’d like me to help show you that age is only a number, please call me for a complimentary session at (805)218-0874.

WEIGHT LOSS AND PILATES
BY JULIE FOX, PILATES INSTRUCTOR
Often I am asked if Pilates will help with weight loss. My answer is, it will help in that you will become more in touch with your body, stronger, more limber, and attain much better functional movement. This will help you in feeling better about your body. I think the better you feel about your body, the happier you will be and the less likely you are to emotionally eat. I do feel that portion control is the best way to keep your weight in check. It is difficult to cut back sometimes (believe me, I know), but once you do it becomes easier and easier to eat smaller portions. Ultimately, it is the lifestyle change of eating smaller potions, not a diet that will help maintain the weight you are comfortable with. I must preface this by saying I am not qualified to help with weight loss or eating disorders. In fact, I have a client that is a professional in that area and I would be very happy to refer you to her. She is a compassionate, well qualified specialist. I will be featuring an article by her pertaining to this subject in next month’s newsletter, so keep a look out for it.
I wish good health, joy in life, and great flexibility and functional movement to you all!!
~Julie Fox
