Newsletter July 2018
RAC Family,

Time to celebrate your freedom, and what better way to express your independence than to move? Your body is designed to move. It is a fundamental aspect of life! It has been said that “those who do not move, do not notice their chains.” Don’t get stuck in a rut. Get up, get out, and get moving!

Movement is a fabulous expression of our physical freedom. Movement isn’t merely a “physical” characteristic though. It actually extends into all areas of life, especially our emotional health. There is an inseparable connection between our physical being and mental status. Have you ever sustained an injury which prevented you from moving? Or perhaps you know someone who has lost their independence to physical limitations? It can be utterly and emotionally debilitating.

On the contrary, our physical health can be impacted by our emotional status as well. Consider the over-stressed individual who always seems to be too busy to take care of themselves. Such individuals tend to display common physical traits such as poor posture and inadequate movement quality. They store stress in their shoulders and neck and have chronic headaches and neck pain. Thus, their emotional stress triggers and perpetuates the movement dysfunction.

There is no shortage of other health issues that can stem from lack of movement. Unshackle yourself from your physical and emotional chains. Take a step towards exercise... it is one of the best medicines!

Cardiovascular exercise has been shown to release endorphins in the brain. This “feel good” hormone can boost your mental state and disrupt the negative thought processes that trigger anxiety and depression. Come try out our TruZones program! These classes will certainly wake up your mind and body and leave you feeling energized. 

Perhaps stress is causing you to carry around tension in your shoulders? Yoga can have a profound impact on lowering stress and reducing cortisol levels. Come nourish your mind and body in one of our many unique Yoga formats!

Whatever your needs are, embrace your freedom. Exercise your independence.

Stay strong, BG

It all culminates with the NCSL Gold Rush Championships on Saturday, July 28 and Sunday, July 29. Go Rockets!
Saturday Morning Aqua Blast is as Strong as Ever!
With our long-time aqua instructor, Debbie Regan, back home with us at RAC after some much-deserved travel, look for our 9 am Saturday Aqua Blast classes to be held with the fun and consistency you are used to! If you have not had the opportunity to take an Aqua Blast with Debbie, please make it down on a Saturday morning and give it a try; you won’t regret it! Currently, and throughout the remainder of the summer, Saturday morning Aqua Blast classes will be held in the outdoor pool when the weather permits. So bring your hats, rash guards, sunscreen, smiles, and energy with you and join us on a beautiful Saturday morning at RAC!
