NEW Wahine Fitness Session

CCY will meet tomorrow, February 25 at 8am in Kailua Beach Parking lot. NEW eight week Wahine Fitness Session begins March 8 - check out Classes for more details and join us! New Rules for Weight Management and Women: A recent study published by The Journal of the American Medical Association (2010; 303 [21] 1173-79) announced that women should average 60 minutes of moderate-intensity activity daily in order to avoid long-term weight gain. This seems overwhelming, right? Think about it this way - Lava Fit runs every Tuesday and Thursday and does intense conditioning on Friday (soon to be Wednesday and Friday). That's three to four days of intense activity! YAY! Instead of focusing on rules and regulations for achieving a perfect body, focus on exercising for health. Also remember that a balanced diet has a lot to do with weight management. Lava Your Life!

Eat less by following the "80% rule" (Stop eating when you're 80% full) 5. Shift your diet to more veggies and fruits, less protein and fewer processed foods 6. Drink red win

Bring yourself and a resistance band to CCY on Friday, February 11 at 8am. We meet in Kailua Beach parking lot (across from Buzz's) - do 30 minutes of Cardio, 30 minutes of Conditioning and 30 minutes of Yoga. If you don't have a resistance band, please email and let me know - I'll bring one for you. Five Reasons to Lace Up and Hit the Road: 1. People who run more than 35 miles a week are 54 percent less likely to suffer age-related vision loss than those who cover 10 miles a week. 2. Running strengthens bones better than other aerobic activities, say University of Missouri researchers who compared the bone density of runners and cyclists. Sixty-three percent of the cyclists had low density in their spine or hips; only 19 percent of runners did. 3. Insomniacs fell asleep in 17 minutes on days they ran, compared to 38 minutes on days they didn't. They also slept for an extra hour on days they exercised. 4. Runners who log a weekly run of 10 miles (or more) ar
