NewsConstruction for the Buckeye Public Safety Building for Sun City Festival is expected to begin in late October or early November 2015.

NewsRESIDENT PROFILE

Jay and Jan’s adventure together began 41 years ago in Minnesota. Both grew up in small towns. Jay lived on a resort on Horseshoe Lake spending most of his free time water skiing and fishing, while Jan was a “city” girl living in the apartment above her parent’s dry cleaning busi-ness. After gaining food service experience in his par-ent’s restaurant, Jay worked for Aramark and The Wood Co. over 37 years managing nutrition services in schools, colleges and business dining services in several major corporations in the midwest and on the east coast. During their first 22 years, Jan worked for various law firms as well as Aramark and The Wood Co. Her last 15 years of employment were spent as Executive Assistant to the President and CEO of Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, Inc.

While visiting Jan’s sister and husband in Sun City West in January 2013, they visited Festival. A couple of days after returning to their home in Tennessee, they made an offer on a vacation villa that was for sale at that time. Besides being close to Jan’s sister and husband, they were drawn to Festival for the location and the friendly residents and staff.

Since moving to Festival in March of 2013, Jay and Jan

have attended the gamut of ASU Lifelong Learning classes. One or both have taken swim-ming, golf and pickleball les-sons and participate in various group fitness programs and aqua aerobics. Jay served as a Citizens on Patrol volunteer and for the last 6 months has been a range officer at the Joe Foss Shooting Range south of Buckeye. For the in-house pickleball tournament last March, Jay was a member of the organizing committee, and participates in the Digital Photo Club. Jan is a member of the Geneology, Hiking and Pickleball Clubs. During the peak sales season, they are resident ambassadors at the sales center.

To celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary last year, they took a 15 day air/land/sea cruise to Alaska during the summer solstice followed by two nights in Vancou-ver. Jay and Jan are looking forward to spending more time traveling, dancing with friends at the Indigo Grille, and growing relationships with new acquaintances in our expanding community.

Have you reached a fitness plateau? Do you continue to exercise and seem to get little or no results? Maybe you have reached a plateau. A plateau is only natural. Consider the body as a stimulus-response mechanism. The stimulus of exercise creates the response of fitness. The body will respond only so much to the same stimulus. In order to get more response (greater fitness) the stimulus (exercise) needs to be changed or increased. This can be accomplished with some easy steps.

INCREASE THE INTENSITY In the case of cardiovascular exercise, this means going faster or increasing resistance. Try adding a little more speed or incline while on the treadmill. For the stationary bike or the elliptical machine, increase the speed (pedal faster) or increase the resistance level the machine provides. These tricks will make the body work harder, increasing the exercise stimulus. Another way to accomplish this is with interval training. During one session of aerobic exercise, alternate periods harder and easier effort. It can be as struc-tured as even work and rest periods (2 minutes harder effort, 2 minutes easier effort), or any other combination of work and rest. For weight training, this is as simple as adding to the amount of weight lifted. Add about five pounds on two or three exercises. Chances are pretty good the same number of sets and repeti-tions will still be completed. However, more effort will be required.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME This is as simple as doing more exercise. Guidelines for aerobic exercise are most days of the week and 40-60 minutes each time. Adding another day, going from five to six days, of exercise can work wonders for breaking a fitness plateau. Or, simply adding more time to each exercise ses-sion, maybe five or ten minutes, will also increase total demand on the body. With weight training, adding one or two additional exercises can provide greater results. A preferred method is to increase the exercises done with the large muscles-legs, back or chest (or performing total-body moves). Doing additional sets on current exercises can also bring additional benefits and challenge to the body.

TRY SOMETHING NEW Doing the same exercise eventually yields fewer or no results. Try switching from the treadmill to the elliptical trainer or from a station-ary bike to the treadmill. While using the same muscles, these will all change how the body works and create more challenge. Switch weight exercises from machines to dumbbells or vice-versa. Try some body-weight exercises (push-ups, dips, pull-ups) instead of using resistance devices. Any shift in how exercise is performed changes the stimulus and thus the response of the body.

When the exercise no longer seems to provide any benefit, you may be at a fit-ness plateau. The body has now adapted to the challenge of exercise. A plateau is easily passed by changing exercise intensity, volume or type. Plus, any exercise can be modified to provide additional challenge and benefit. Not only can you get past a plateau, exercise will now become new, different and challenging when changes are included.

This event is a great time! It’s almost full contact golf as your competitors egg you on, sometimes in your backswing. Two-person teams alternate their shots while the high-scoring teams are eliminated on each hole until there are only three teams left. Out of those three teams, we will award a “Win” (1st Place), “Place” (2nd Place), and a “Show” (3rd Place). Serious golfers should leave their sensitive side at home for this event; we like to have fun!
