JULY

NewsRESIDENT PROFILE

We moved to Festival in November, 2013 from the Seattle area where we resided for 31 years and raised our family. Tony retired from UPS in 2010. Sue mostly was a stay at home mom, but has worked for the Washington affiliate of Blue Cross for the past eight years and continues to work from home. We live in Festival year-round, are sports fans and remain loyal to our Washington teams. We also love to cruise.

Our first visit to Arizona was 10 years ago. After visit-ing Trilogy we could envision ourselves retiring in an adult community. We continued to travel to Arizona annually, visiting and staying at as many adult com-munities as we could while we planned for retirement. Each community has something different to offer, but after staying at Festival twice, it became obvious that it was the best fit for us.

One of the things we enjoy most about our community is meeting and making friends from all over the coun-try. We have a great neighborhood and get together regularly for breakfasts and happy hours at the Indigo Grille.

We both enjoy the gym and the fitness classes as well as the pool. Tony golfs as much as he can and also works part-time at the Indigo Grille. We are members of the Brew Crew and the Hiking Club and made the trip with the Club in March to the bottom of the Grand Canyon – Tony by foot and Sue by mule. It was an awesome experience for both of us! We are looking forward to rafting the Colorado River with the Hiking Club next April.

We have three married daughters, a grandson who is almost three and an eight-month old granddaugh-ter, all living in the Seattle area. When our grandson comes to visit, he loves riding in the golf cart with his ‘Guppa’.

Once Sue retires next year (514 days according to her retirement countdown clock), we plan to spend time traveling the country by motorhome, visiting sports stadiums and breweries and crossing items off our bucket list. I can’t lie – I also look forward to being able to escape heat every summer.

We have no regrets about our decision to move to Festival. We thoroughly enjoy the active adult lifestyle and look forward to becoming more ‘active’ in 514 days!!

RECOVERYThe Forgotten Part of Fitness by Chuck Eier, M.S. C.S.C.S.,

Fitness/Wellness Director

Fitness/Wellness ServicesMassage Therapy: 1-hr $60, 90-Minutes $90

Fitness Assessment: Complete Fitness Assessment with a personal exercise program including one lesson = $40

Equipment Orientation: Free 60-minute group session on effective and safe exercise with demonstrations.

Personal Training: One-on-one personal training session $35/hr6

We are all told how much and how hard we are supposed to exercise -- aerobic exercise for more than 30 minutes most days of the week, and strength training three times per week not on consecutive days. But, we are never told about how much recovery we should have or why.

Post-exercise recovery is important to help the body repair exercise-induced damage. Without proper recovery the body will not get stronger and reach higher levels of fitness. In addition, inadequate recovery can lead to repetitive-stress injuries, joint damage and other issues.

In order to elicit a higher level of strength and fitness, exercise purposefully damages tissues in the body. This creates an acute response of inflammation and production of hormones and chemicals to repair the damage. This is also what creates pain and soreness after exercise. The bad news is all of us have a limited ability to recover from the physiological stresses of exercise. When stress outweighs recovery the body begins to break down. Exercise volume, poor nutri-tion, emotional stress, lack of sleep and other factors all effect recovery or lack thereof.

Symptoms of overstressing the body include decreased muscle strength and increased muscle soreness, chronic feelings of excessive fatigue, weakened im-mune system, irritability or depression, and repetitive stress injuries (pain, swell-ing, tendonitis) around one or multiple joints.

Proper recovery is not always as simple as a day or two of rest. Adequate sleep, seven to eight hours each night is critical. During sleep, growth hormones help repair tissue damage, inflammatory chemicals are reduced, and the nervous system returns to a more relaxed state.

Active recovery makes the heart pump at higher-than-resting levels and below high-exertion levels. Increased circulation through non-impact forms of exercise at low exertion levels for 30 minutes have been shown to reduce inflammation and help the body recover on a day following an intense exercise session. Gentle stretching is also a great form of active recovery.

Passive recovery is as simple as rest after intense exercise. “Non-active” recov-ery involves various external things. Cold therapy is great to reduce swelling and inflammation, and to alleviate pain. Heat therapy tends to work best the day or days after an especially challenging workout. Heat therapy reduces muscle soreness and releases tight muscles. Additional modes of “non-active” recovery include manual therapy (massage) and compression garments. Compression garments assist venous return to help minimize risk of blood clots and improve clearing of byproducts created during intense exercise.

When it comes to recovery from intense exercise, every person is different. It is critically important to include plenty of recovery as part of a fitness program.
