WHY WATER?
Water provides resistance that works muscles with every movement, while
pumping up the heart rate and burning calories. The buoyant atmosphere of the pool limits impact on joints and allows for the opportunity to engage in a much more vigorous exercise experience without the impact on your joints.
10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD EXERCISE IN THE WATER
#1Buoyancy
• Buoyancy reduces effects of gravity and lessens joint impact
#2 Zero Gravity
• Deep water fitness is more challenging because you expend more energy staying afloat & vertical
• zero gravity workout offers unique exercise opportunities
• Decompression of spine occurs in deep water
#3 Water Immersion
• Improved Circulation
• Hydrostatic pressure fluid pressure exerted equally on all surface areas of a body Hydrostatic pressure also puts pressure on rib cage
• Simply breathing immersed in water can improve respiratory function
• Immersion helps improve heart function allowing for exercise at a
reduced heart rate. It also helps improve blood flow return to heart
• Decrease in swelling helps to improve arthritic conditions
#4 Exercise in Water Sleep Better
• Sleep Better -Improvements in circulatory and respiratory function, as described above, can translate into a more restful slumber
• Exercising in the water fatigues muscles and fatigued muscles require rest
• Exercise reduces stress
#5 Resisted Movement & Muscular Balance
• Viscosity - the friction of molecules makes water more viscous or “thicker” than air
• Water is 784 times more dense than air and provides 12 times more Resistance than air
• Submerged movement is resisted in all directions working muscles in pairs.
• Muscular imbalances are one of the biggest reasons joints, such as the shoulder or the hip or the knee become compromised.
• Exercising in water helps improve joint integrity because you work muscles all around the joint in submerged resistance
#6 Weight loss
• Research studies have shown that caloric expenditure in water is similar to land
• 9.8 calories are burned per minute
• A 60 minute class would typically burn 400 to 500 calories
• Obese participants can exercise more safely in water due to buoyancy
#7 Enhanced Results
• Endurance: Reduced impact encourages harder & longer exercise activity
• Balance: Water’s viscosity provides support enabling increased ROM
• Mobility: Exercising with bigger movements improves muscular strength
•#8 More From Core
• Spinal Health
• Aquatic Environment allow for vertical core training
• Properties of water & equipment allow changes in body position
• Vertical alignment with flotation devise allows for maximal core recruitment
• Safer environment to exercise in with an existing back injury
#9 Cross Training
• Exercise Variability, changes activities frequently
• Cross train and do water exercise a couple of days a week
• Run harder and jump higher
• Use all out force against the water’s resistance

Tennis Director Updates
Hello Members,
Summer is just around the corner and I have a few reminders for everyone.
The new USTA leagues are just about to start. This time around we have the Over 55 league starting on the week of June 12th and the Mixed 18 & Over starting on the week of June 19th. We have 7 teams registered and now is the time to join a team or two...
With the temperature rising, I feel the need to remind everyone to bring the essential tennis gear to fight the heat.
Here is a brief list of essentials:
● Sunscreen
● Hat
● Towel(s) maybe one soaked and frozen overnight
● Refillable water bottle (also a good idea to freeze ice in it!)
● Some snacks to keep energy up
And feel free to add anything you want to the list but be PREPARED.
On the Junior side of things, This Summer we have the all day sports camp for kids looking for a full day adventure but we have something new on the tennis side. We will have a separate afternoon tennis camp. This new tennis camp is geared towards the junior looking to improve a ton during the summer. It will focus a lot on match play but will also include some motor skill training, conditioning and a chance at some interclub play for those interested. Both camps start on June 12th and run through August 18th with tennis being held from 130-4pm.
Finally, around the 15th of every month, we try to have a calendar of tennis events out to inform you of what is happening at the club. The calendar includes all of our weekly clinics but also some specialty clinincs we try to put together. You can pick a copy at our front desk or go browse for it online on our website under the tennis tab.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any comments, suggestions or questions
regarding tennis at our club. My door is always open…
I hope to see you all on the courts soon
Cheers
Fred
