Dear Friends,

As the sun sets on the past year, we look forward to 2014 with hope and optimism. Las Vegas has hotels/casinos, tourist attractions, and shopping centers in the pipeline or under development. And yes, a new LVAC under construction on the north side of town. What an exciting year we have ahead, with all of this growth taking place around the city. Last year my family took a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Other than the usual, magical Disney experience, there was something that was quite unusual about our visit. It was shocking to see so many overweight and obese people in one place. It was an eye-opening experience where the epidemic proportions of obesity became very visible. Although, the percentage of obesity has leveled off during the last few years, still 35% of the people in the U.S. are obese. Sadly, the morbidly obese population is still growing and unfortunately, many of them are being diagnosed with diabetes. Currently 8% of our nation is diabetic, and another 25% is pre-diabetic, making a total of one-third of the nation that is either diabetic or pre-diabetic. The real reason for this diabetes epidemic is the explosion of obesity. In 2013 the American Medical Association (AMA) officially classified obesity as a disease. This action is a step in the right direction, and brings us closer to having the medical profession begin to prescribe exercise and proper nutrition as a means of preventing obesity and related illnesses like diabetes. There was a very wise man that once said, "Healthy people don't need doctors, sick people do.”

We have learned a lot over the past year as the Affordable Care Act has struggled to get off the ground. It is our belief that we will continue to make strides this year as the nation begins to recognize what those of us in the fitness industry already know; the only way to have affordable care and control escalating health care costs is to have a healthier population. The current system focuses on treating illness, commonly referred to as health care instead of the more accurate terminology of "sick care". We are hopeful that, in the future, the direction will be on creating a healthier... fitter country. Several years ago I wrote about our CC & R policy - be Courteous, Considerate and Respectful. This policy is obviously "The Golden Rule"; treat others the way you would like to be treated. At the request of many members, we thought it worthwhile to share some basic club etiquette. Beginning with this issue you will find "Don't be that Guy (or Gal)" a humorous look at bad gym behavior, with the hope of maintaining the civil, fun and friendly environment that LVAC is known for. Finally, in this issue we have an article on a subject that I personally have a great deal of experience, back and spinal health. Like the topic of metabolism, the back and spine are very complex, and both relate to this amazing organism we call the human body. If you have experienced back or neck pain, as many of us do, this article will help you learn how to make some simple changes to improve the quality of your life. It is almost impossible to experience good health without a healthy back and spine. The article references a couple of fabulous books, “Treat Your Own Back" and "Treat Your Own Neck", which provide exercises to strengthen the core and produce changes in and around the spine itself . I wish I had read this book twenty years ago! Here's to the optimism and positive outlook that comes from good health and happiness. Yours in health and fitness,

Success StoryLVAC Member Sue Evenson Shares Her Journey of Shedding Pounds and Medication

S ue grew up in Mission Viejo, California, where she was always active as a child. She

maintained a healthy weight, participat-ing in multiple sports throughout school. It wasn’t until she married and began to have children that her weight became a problem. After the birth of her second child, she knew she needed to lose weight. “Like most people, I tried all the latest weight loss drugs and diets. Most of them left me frustrated and still overweight.” As her weight continued to climb, so did problems with her health. She developed high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Her physician placed her on medications for both.

“The thing that finally got my attention was the sleep apnea I had developed. My weight had reached 195 pounds. Sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are a dangerous combination.” Sue worked as a respiratory therapist her entire adult life, had raised two children and was turning 50. “I decided that it was time to do something for myself.” At a barbeque she met a client of Angela Farrar, a personal trainer and group fitness instructor at LVAC. “ I had been working out, but had not lost weight, so I decided to make the call to Angela. From the first day I started the program, I knew this was going to be different from anything I had previously tried.” The first 12 weeks, Sue lost 20

pounds. By the end of the

fourth month she had dropped 38 pounds! Even more exciting than the weight loss were the health benefits of her lifestyle changes. After her physician reviewed her blood work, he was able to take her off all medications!

Today Sue continues to train 5-6 days a week where she has been concentrating on strength training. The changes she has made in her nutrition are evident in her current diet. “A typical dinner for me now is a sweet potato, grilled organic tenderloin and blanched asparagus. I try to focus on whole natural foods, and eat as clean as I can.” She also says that preparing meals daily, eating balanced meals with healthy fats, such as almonds and olive oil, and eating small frequent meals throughout the day have helped to keep her energy level up and avoid becoming too hungry. “Since I began training 16 months ago, I have made wonderful friends, increased my self-esteem and gained confidence. My children are my joy. I can honestly say that I am in the best shape and in the best place of my life.”

Dream It, Believe It, Achieve It and …

Deborah Lynn Mizrahi Lives Her MottoBy John Beede

F ive years ago my grandmother died and I was devastated. At her funeral I fell and fractured two discs in my back that required

immediate surgery. The thought of the nurses and physicians having to lift my overweight body onto the surgical table was humiliating. I was ashamed of my weight, had been avoiding friends and didn’t want to go to events because I didn’t have anything to wear. I was winded just walking up the stairs and hated myself every minute of every day. The episode at my Grandmother’s funeral was my turning point-the last straw. I realized that I needed to gain control of my life and begin living instead of just existing.

Live It!

| 15

I began my journey by changing my lifestyle. I started to exercise-30 minutes on the treadmill for two months. I progressed to the elliptical machine then to taking Body Attack, Piloxing and Body Pump group fitness classes. Five months into my new life I began weight training, making a routine of doing cardio 5 days a week and weight training 3 days a week.

I also had to completely change the way I ate. A typical breakfast before my weight loss (I am not kidding) would be a trip to 7-11 where I would buy snickers candy bars, bags of M&M’s, pretzels, and red vines. My life consisted of one unhealthy meal after another. If I went out for lunch and the dessert on the menu wasn’t to my liking I would go to another restaurant for desert! If it wasn’t fried, smothered in sauce, or covered in chocolate, I wouldn’t eat it.

I began by researching nutrition and continued to try new, healthy foods until I found things that I enjoyed and meals that worked for me. Today I eat 5-6 small meals a day, every 3½ hours, just like clockwork. I have struggled with my cravings for sweets, so I cut all sweets out of my diet. It took a few months, but the cravings for sweets finally went away. Surprisingly, cookies just don’t taste that good anymore.

I prepare my meals in advance so there are no excuses to fall into my old patterns of eating. I like to order all my meats and fish in 4 oz. packages so that I always have portion control. My meals are simple, but yummy. I do indulge in an occasional treat, but I am always completely aware of what I am eating, because I will never, ever go back to my old eating habits. I have trained my brain and my palate to enjoy and crave healthy foods. I think raw broccoli is delicious!”

In 2011 I became interested in teaching group fitness. Melanie Byrne, who was serving as the Group Fitness

Director for LVAC, encouraged me to become certified as a cycling instructor. That led me to become certified in Piloxing, CXWorx, and Insanity. This past March I received my personal training certification. I absolutely love teaching and training-it’s what gets me up every morning.”

Over the last five years I have lost 140 pounds and gone from a dress size of 30-32 to a size 2. I used to wear a XXXL men’s shirt (yes, men’s). Now I wear a size XS in women’s! I am energetic, have a normal blood pressure and turned 52 in November.

I love the idea of ‘paying it forward.’ My hope is to inspire the average person (like me), to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle. As a personal trainer I want my clients to enjoy exercising. If I can share my enthusiasm, help people change their perception of exercise and inspire them about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, then I’ve done my job! If I can completely change every aspect of my life to become healthier and happier, then anyone can do it.

Deborah and her husband are the proud parents of two boys; Steven, a lawyer practicing in New York and New Jersey, and Edan, who graduated Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in Music Synthesis. She is a die-hard USC football fan, and has been attending games since 1974. Deborah teaches group fitness at our Green Valley and Flamingo & 215 locations.

Fit FactsChia Seeds-Superfood

Tips To Help Improve Your Health, Fitness & Well-being

Chia is an edible seed that comes from the desert plant Salvia hispanica, grown in Mexico dating back to Mayan and Aztec cultures. "Chia" means strength, and folklore has it that these cultures used the tiny black and white seeds as an energy booster. That makes sense, as chia seeds are a concentrated food containing healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium.

Chia seeds are an unprocessed, whole-grain food that can be absorbed by the body as seeds (unlike flaxseeds). One ounce (about 2 tablespoons) contains 139 calories, 4 grams of protein, 9 grams fat, 12 grams carbohydrates and 11 grams of fiber, plus vitamins and minerals.

Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, one of the chia seed's health benefits is its contribution to maintaining and even improving the heart's condition. It does this by normalizing blood pressure and controlling bad cholesterol levels. Mostly found in fish, Omega-3 is also very abundant in chia seeds.

Furthermore, the seeds' nutty, pleasant flavor makes it easier to eat and integrate into every meal. This is especially true for individuals who aren't fond of seafood. Its high-fiber content makes it perfect for individuals who want to lose a few pounds. Moreover, they are versatile enough to easily blend with most healthy meals, from salads and shakes to pudding and sandwiches.

Put in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a serving bowl and place in the refrigerator and allow to chill overnight.

There are endless flavor variations. You can omit the cocoa powder and vanilla and add a cup of strawberries for a strawberry version, or add cinnamon and nutmeg to the above recipe.

Fit FactsThe most important meal of the day.Not only does eating breakfast kickstart your day, lead to healthier eating, and help control weight, but a new study published in the journal Circulation found that it can also protect your heart.

Harvard University researchers analyzed data from food frequency questionnaires taken over a 16-year period by 26,903 men between the ages of 45 and 82. They found that men who regularly skipped breakfast were 27 percent more likely to have a heart attack or suffer from heart disease compared to breakfast eaters. Even when the researchers accounted for lifestyle factors like exercise, sleep, alcohol intake, diet, smoking, body mass index, and medical history, non-breakfast eaters were still more likely to develop heart disease or have a heart attack.

Researchers also found a connection between heart

disease and eating before bed. People who ate right before bed were 55 percent more likely to suffer from coronary heart disease.

Having 2 teaspoons of a healthy oil each day ensures that you get the vitamin E and essential fatty acids that your body needs. Polyunsaturated fats can help reduce the cholesterol levels in your blood and lower your risk of heart disease, aid in digestion, contribute to healthy skin and hair and facilitate the absorbtion of some vitamins.

Here are dieticians' top picks:• ExtraVirginOliveOil• Canolaoil• Sunfloweroil• Peanutoil• Sesameoil• Avocado

Did you know?

It’s always smart to keep fruit in your refrigerator in case of a midnight sweets craving. Keep this in mind: One small scoop of chocolate ice cream has the same number of calories as 50 purple grapes, but with less than 25% of the nutrient content!

It should be no surprise that being active is good for you, but inflammation may finally explain why. Fat cells are efficient factories for producing key inflammatory elements, and burning calories shrinks those cells. With fewer elements around, inflammation is less likely to flare up or get into the slow burn that contributes to heart disease, hypertension and diabetes.

“The very fact that we are having a national conversation about what we should eat, that we are struggling with the question about what the best diet is, is symptomatic of how far we have strayed from the simple act of eating real, whole, fresh food. When it becomes a revolutionary act to eat real food, we are in trouble.”

- Mark Hyman, M.D. Idea Fitness Journal

Protect YourPearly Whites

Keep Moving

“Practicing gratitude protects us from our own pettiness and smallness and keeps us centered in the joy and abun-dance of our own life. When stimulation pulls at us and disturbance beckons us, it is the gratitude uttered from our lips that keeps us strongly rooted in contentment.”– Deborah Adele - Idea Fitness Journal, Sept. 2012

Although many of us are much more diligent about brushing than flossing, they are equally important. Flossing every day is one of the best things you can do to take care of your teeth. It’s the single most important factor in preventing periodontal disease, which affects more than 50% of adults. Flossing helps remove plaque and debris that stick to teeth and gums, polishes the tooth’s surface, and even helps control bad breath.- Health.com

Motivational Quotes

With the beginning of the year comes a desire to set goals and improve our lives. We can draw inspiration from individuals who have achieved success in a variety of endeavors. Here are a few of our favorite motivational thoughts.

“Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.”– Marv Levy

“Continuous effort — not strength or intelligence — is the key to unlocking our potential.”– Liane Cardes

“You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.” – Arthur Ashe

“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.”– Earl Nightingale

“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”– Joshua J. Marine

“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude.”- Denis Waitley

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” – Unknown

“Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.”– Thomas Jefferson

“Exercise to stimulate, not to annihilate. The world wasn't formed in a day, and neither were we. Set small goals and build upon them.”–Lee Haney

“Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others... By and large, I have come to see that if we complain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves.”– Gordon B. Hinckley

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”– Dalai Lama

Back &Spinal Health

Keep your neck and back healthy and pain-free

A ccording to the lyrics of a not so recent rock hit, ‘You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.” When you are talking about the health of your back and neck, nothing

could be closer to the truth. When your back and neck are healthy and functioning correctly, you never even think about it. Have something go wrong with your back and neck, and life can become miserable very quickly.

Back pain is the second most common type of pain in adults (the most common being headaches). Back and neck disorders are listed in the top ten workplace injuries published by the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health. They account for about 27 % of all nonfatal injuries and illnesses involving days away from work.

By far the most common cause of back and neck pain is muscle strain. The back and neck muscles can usually heal themselves within a couple of weeks, but the pain can be intense and debilitating. For most people, the spine undergoes some degenerative changes as we age , but aging and spinal degeneration do not have to be synonymous.

Some sources of back and neck pain can come from these changes, such as degenerative disc disease or lumbar disc herniation, and arthritic conditions in the spine. Sometimes back and neck pain stems from mechanical sources, such as heavy lifting or incorrect posture, and of course accidents can create damage to the spine resulting in pain. Your back and neck are made up of muscles, bony vertebrae, nerves, spinal cord, and supporting tissues,

such as ligaments. Your spine is divided into regions. There are seven vertebrae in the cervical region (neck), 12 vertebrae in the thoracic region (upper back), and five vertebrae in the lumbar region (low back). Beneath the lumbar vertebrae are found the sacrum and the coccyx (tailbone). Special cartilages, called discs, separate the vertebrae. These discs are similar to rubber washers and act as shock absorbers. The vertebrae and discs are linked by a series of joints to form the spine. Each joint is held together by its surrounding soft tissue, which is reinforced by ligaments. Every muscle of the back lies over one or more joints of the low back and may extend upwards to the trunk and downwards to the pelvis. At both ends each muscle changes into a tendon, by which it attaches itself to different bones. When a muscle contracts, it causes movement in one or more joints of the spine. If you experience neck and/or back pain or have reoccurring problems, you should see your physician or chiropractor and follow his recommendations. In addition, there are things that you can do to not only treat your neck and back, but to protect and strengthen it. 1.Maintainahealthyweight. Several years ago I attended a lecture by a physician who specialized in spinal abnormalities and back pain. She placed a power-point slide on the screen that stated that for every pound of body weight that you lose, you reduce six pounds of pressure on your spine! Excess body weight contributes to muscular imbalances, increased strain on the spine and poor posture, all of which can contribute to back pain. LVAC offers weight management tools as a free amenity to our members.

| 29

Ask an LVAC Coach about dotFit or myfitnesspal. Both programs are a valuable resource for managing weight or achieving weight loss. 2. Exercise. Not only does exercise help you to maintain a healthy body weight, but specific core strengthening work can make a huge difference in back health and function. Think of your core muscles as the sturdy central link in a chain connecting your upper and lower body. Whether you’re hitting a tennis ball or mopping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core, or move through it. Be sure to check our Group Fitness schedule on page 54 for classes such as CXWORX, which are specifically designed to develop core strength. If you do have a history of back or neck problems, be sure to let the instructor know before class begins so that he/she can provide alternative movements should you need them. 3.Practicegoodbodymechanics. Body mechanics refers to the way we move during every day activities. The way you move, lift, sleep and sit can contribute to back and neck pain. Follow the suggestions below to improve your posture and back health, lowering the risk of injury and back pain.

a.Makesureyourworkstationpositionisn'tcontributing to your pain. Sit in your chair with your back straight and with support in your lower back. Consider purchasing a lumbar support to place in your chair. Do not sit for long periods of time, get up, take a brief walk and change positions. Adjust the monitor of your computer so that the top is at the same level as your eyes. Use a paper holder so that the document is at the same level as the computer screen. Also, use a headset or the phone speaker if you use the telephone often.

b. Stand correctly. Keep one foot slightly in front of the other with your knees slightly bent and abdominals pulled gently towards your back. This will help relieve pressure in the lumbar spine.

c. Lift heavy items correctly. Bend at the knees instead of the waist. The thigh muscles are larger in mass than the muscles of the back. Position your feet to provide a good base of support and hold objects close to your body when lifting and carrying. Keep your back straight and your abdominals pulled in towards your spine. Keep your body in straight alignment, don’t twist at the waist.

d.Push,pullorslideratherthanlift,wheneverpossible. Pushing is much easier on your back

30 |

than pulling. Use your arms and legs to start the push. If you must lift a very heavy item, get someone to help you.

e. Practice good posture. Weak core muscles contribute to slouching. Good posture trims your silhouette and projects confidence. More importantly, it lessens wear and tear on the spine and allows you to breathe deeply. Good posture helps you gain full benefit from the effort you put into exercise.

f. Quit Smoking. Nicotine and other toxins from smoking can keep spinal discs from absorbing all the nutrients they need from the blood, making disc injury more likely. Smoking also increases your sensitivity to pain.

4. Consider alternative therapies and discuss themwithyourphysician. Traditional treatments for back pain can include pain and anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, injections and surgery. In addition to these treatments, many people find relief in alternative therapies.

Chiropractic- Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulations (adjustments), in addition to machine provided manipulations. This is done to properly align the musculoskeletal structure of the neck and back. This enables the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Manipulation is used to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support.

The treatment plan may involve one or more manual or machine adjustments in which the

doctor manipulates the joints, using a controlled, sudden force to improve range and quality of motion. Many chiropractors also incorporate one or more of the following into their protocol: spinal decompression, laser

therapy, active release techniques (ART), nutritional counseling, and

exercise/rehabilitation into their treatment plan. The goals of chiropractic

care include the restoration of function and prevention of injury, in addition to back

and neck pain relief.

Yoga- If you have mild to moderate back and pain, there's evidence that yoga can help. In one recent study, people who took 12 weeks of yoga

classes had fewer symptoms of low back pain than people who did not participate. The benefits lasted several months after the classes were finished. The study suggests conventional stretching also works just as well. Make sure your instructor is experienced at teaching people with back pain and will modify postures for you as needed. Check out our LVAC Group Fitness Schedule on page 50 to find a yoga class that will work for you.

Acupuncture- Some studies show evidence that the ancient technique of acupuncture helps relieve chronic back pain better than standard care such as medications or physical therapy. Acupuncture began in China more than 2,500 years ago. It involves inserting thin needles at certain points on the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the body has more than 2,000 of these points. They are connected by pathways or meridians, which create a flow of energy called Qi (pronounced “chee”). Stimulating these points is said to correct the imbalance of Qi and improve the flow of energy. Practitioners believe that this helps relieve pain and improve health.

"Acupuncture-like treatments had a positive effect overall on people's chronic back pain," says study researcher Dan Cherkin, PhD, a senior investigator at Group Health Center for Health Studies in Seattle. Guidelines from the American Pain Society and American College of Physicians say doctors should consider acupuncture as an alternative therapy for patients with chronic low-back pain that's not helped by conventional treatment.

MassageTherapy- In a recent study, 400 adults with moderate-to-severe low back pain lasting

for at least three months were assigned to either weekly whole-body massages for relaxation, weekly massages that focused on specific muscle problems around the lower back and hips, or traditional care.

After 10 weeks, participants reported greater average improvements in pain and functioning compared to those in the traditional care group. At the end of the 10-week intervention, 36% and 39% of patients in the massage groups said their pain was nearly or completely gone, compared to 4% in the traditional care group.

"It's not really harmful, and it does help a significant chunk of people who have not benefited from other treatments," says Cherkin. As with other alternative treatments, massage is not a cure. However, massage does seem to offer significant benefits for a substantial number of patients.

If your back is healthy, it is worth the investment in time and effort to protect, strengthen and keep it that way. If you suffer from back or neck pain, that same investment in time and effort will pay large dividends towards pain relief and fewer fututre episodes of pain. There’s no way around it-your spine is an amazing structure and keeping it healthy will contribute to your your health, your everyday performance and your quality of life. Take good care of it.

Winter RecipesHealthy Comfort on Cold Nights

This is like a big bowl of warm comfort on a cold winter night. By pureeing half of the mixture, it makes the soup look and taste like a cream soup base, but without the added fat and calories from cream. It’s lean, but it tastes rich!

Ingredients6 slices center-cut bacon

2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large onion)

1 teaspoon fresh chopped garlic

4 cups reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth

2 15-oz. cans cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained and rinsed

2 cups chopped carrots (about 3 carrots)

1 cup chopped celery (about 3 stalks)

¼ teaspoon ground thyme

1 bay leaf

4 cups roughly chopped spinach

4 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese (we recommend Parmigiano-Reggiano)

DirectionsSpray the bottom of a large pot with nonstick spray and bring to medium heat on the stove. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 4 minutes per side, working in batches if needed. Drain bacon on a paper towel, blotting lightly to absorb excess fat. Once cool enough to handle, break into pieces or roughly chop. Set aside.

Remove pot from heat and clean and dry. Re-spray with nonstick spray and bring to medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and, stirring often, cook until onions become translucent and fragrant, about 4 minutes.

Add the broth, beans, carrots, celery, thyme and the bay leaf. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce to a

simmer and cook until veggies are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly.

Remove and discard the bay leaf. Transfer 1/4th of the mixture (about 2 cups) to a blender. (Make sure to hold the blender lid down and cover the top of the blender with an absorbent dish towel-soup will expand as it is blended.) Blend until smooth, and then return to the pot.

Add the spinach, ½ of the Parmesan cheese and the cooked bacon. Stir well. Set stove to medium heat and cook until spinach has wilted and soup is hot, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan before serving.

Winter RecipesHealthy Comfort on Cold Nights

This is a sure fire way to get anyone to eat their vegetables. Roasting vegetables caramelizes them, making them tender, slightly sweet and delicious. The dip tastes like the decadent version of onion dip, but with a fraction of the fat and calories. Who knew healthy could taste so awesome?

Roasted Vegetables Ingredients1 lb. Asparagus (remove tough ends)

2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch wedges

1 red bell pepper, stem removed, seeded,

cut into ½ inch-thick slices

1 yellow bell pepper, stem removed, seeded, cut into

½ inch-thick slices

1 eggplant, ends removed and cut into ½ inch wedges

1 pint of cherry tomatoes

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½ inch wedges

1 tablespoon of olive oil

8 fresh basil leaves, julienned

Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Caramelized Onion Dip Ingredients2 large sweet onions, chopped

½ cup low-fat or fat free sour cream

½ cup reduced fat mayonnaise

¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons reduced fat cream cheese,

room temperature

1 tablespoon whipped butter

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

DirectionsPreheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash, dry and prepare the vegetables. Spray 2 cookie sheets with Pam non-stick spray. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the cookie sheets. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss the vegetables, making sure they are lightly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Place the cookie sheets into the oven, and roast the vegetables until they are tender crisp and starting to caramelize, about 20-30 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

If serving as a side dish, arrange vegetables on a platter surrounding the dip. Sprinkle with the fresh basil. If eating veggies as a snack, place one or two pieces of each vegetable into an airtight container, using another container for the dip. Delish!

DirectionsOver medium heat, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Once butter has coated the bottom of the pan, add onions, salt, and cayenne pepper. Onions will be piled high in the pan, but they will cook down. Sauté for 10 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 25 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are browned and caramelized.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine sour cream, mayo, and cream cheese. Whisk until smooth. Then refrigerate.

Once onions are caramelized, add mustard and vinegar to the pan. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cool, add onions to the large bowl and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to combine. Serve at room temperature with the roasted vegetables.

Class

DescriptionsMost of our class titles are self-explanatory, but here are a few main-stream classes explained to help you get started. These are not the only classes we offer, but because we like to try new things, your best bet is to go through the schedule to see what we are featuring at your preferred location!

You don’t really have to bring anything to any of the classes, as we provide all the equipment and mats. Some classes you will find even more enjoyable if you do bring additional personal gear, such as Cycle shoes to clip in during Cycle, or a padded bike seat, or a Yoga mat for Yoga or Pilates. But before you invest in extra gear we recommend you participate in a few classes first, to see if you will continue with that particular class.

HIGH INTENSITY /STRENGTH & MIND/BODY Classes – High Intensity/Strength formats are designed to enhance muscular strength and endurance, speed and agility, and most importantly to change your body composition! Mind/Body classes are designed to improve balance, flexibility and core strength, as well as practice body awareness and mindfulness. Mind/Body classes are best enjoyed when bringing a sticky Yoga mat, available at all major Sporting Goods Stores. However, using a Gym mat will suffice for trying the classes at first. Allow your body 3 – 5 classes to learn the basics of each class.

Army Ranger Boot Camp: A wet (meet in the pool area) and dry (outdoor) intense boot camp class using non traditional equipment: sledge hammers, tires, sand bags, sprint resisters to build big strength, endurance and mental focus. 2.5 hours of constantly changing circuit workout to push your body to it’s military limits.

Core: (Different Name, Same Great Results) Abdominal and Back Strength – a class which may use just your bodyweight, balance balls, or medicine balls, either on mats or on balancing equipment, to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles. CORE will help support your body in everything else you do.

CxWORX™ by Les Mills: CxWorx is the 30-minute Core Class that's been formulated with a carefully structured, scientific approach and unforgiving intensity. It has been designed to tighten and tone the abs, glutes, back, obliques and 'slings' connecting the upper and lower body, improve functional strength and assist in injury prevention like nothing else! CxWorx will get you results where it counts the most.

Healthy Back: Prevent injury, feel better, add stretching to your workout. Learn beginning core work as well as use of the foam roller and PNF stretching techniques to facilitate greater range of pain-free motion! Great for beginning exercisers, people with injury issues, and all who desire more flexibility and core control to support heavy lifting in fitness and in life.

BODYFLOW™ by Les Mills: is the Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates workout that leaves you feeling long, strong, centered and calm. It’s your per-sonal time out from the stress and strains of daily life – a 55-minute group exercise-to-music class that enhances your physical and mental well-being.

Body Pump™ by Les Mills is the original barbell class. Designed for all ages and fitness levels, BODYPUMP delivers real results, real fast. This athletic-based workout uses barbells with adjustable weights to work every major muscle group in the body. With motivating music and easy to follow moves, BODYPUMP strengthens, tones, and defines the body.

Booty Blast B.A.R.™ A Barre Principle Class: LVAC may not have ballet barres installed in any of our locations, but we put a different spin on the popular barre principle classes. Barefoot or in soft shoes, Ballet Aerobics Resistance (B.A.R.) uses low impact movements to tar-

get the muscles of your core and your lower body (hips, thighs, butt) as well as high impact blasts to get your heart pumping. The moves are lengthening, the focus is on alignment and good form and the repeti-tions are high - you will feel the burn! And instead of hanging from a barre you get to hold your own to tone your upper body.

Booty Blast B.A.R.™ Athletic: This offers the same burn and tone as a Booty Blast B.A.R.™. This upbeat Barre Principle, ballet inspired fit-ness class uses various forms of weighted resistance creating stronger, leaner muscles. As with the Booty Blast B.A.R.™ it is a combination of low impact strength movements with blasts of high impact moves.

Boot Camp: Both cardio and strength, this high intensity class prac-tices drills for strength, power, endurance and speed. You'll be doing lots of relays, sprints, small hurdle running, lunging, push-ups, plyo-metrics, bracing, and much more, with options and modifications for those who need them. You will feel accomplished and invincible after completing this class.

Flexibility: Guides you through safe stretches in order to increase range of motion and relief tension in tight areas of your body, using stretching techniques from various modalities.

MRT: A muscle-resistance training class designed to enhance muscle tone, definition and endurance using bands, balls, weights, as well as your own body-weight for resistance. Movements that take you through all three planes of motion will improve your functional fitness as well. Don't forget to take a cardio class to show off that long and lean muscle.

NAVY SEAL Bootcamp Central, Saturdays 9:30am - 12pm: This two and a half hour long workout integrates swimming, with calisthenics and running, not in sequence, but mixed up in drills. This is NOT a class you can show up for late. This is probably going to be the hardest 2.5 hour workout you have ever taken!
