A Note From Fran

Ready, Set...

And they're off! The New Year has begun. The inauguration has come and gone. Most New Years Resolutions are long forgotten... and its not even February yet.

Well I can't talk. Our newsletter is a little later than usual this month because we've been busy, excited, anxious and hurried with expectation. Not about Obama... about MECKids! Just kidding... but that's not an excuse, simply a declaration. Not we weren't glued in on the events of the inauguration. We can't help but to be... all our staff lives and plays in greater Washington, DC.

So I'm keeping the Note from Fran short and sweet this month. Why? Because frankly I believe that words would only serve to fill space this month that would be better served with this gentle reminder:

REFLECT – MEDITATE then ACT

A lot has transpired this month. Hundreds of magazines, tabloids, newspapers and talk shows have put in their two cents. So what? Bring it down to a personal level. What does it mean to you, to me, to your neighbor and to mine? How can I help ______? How might I support ______? What am I learning about___________?

In love and good health,

Best two Ways to Hydrate your Body

BY: Jaci Sellenrick

Do you know the best way to hydrate your body while exercising? Is it hard to choose between Gatorade, PowerAde, or even water?

Well if you are active in the gym, then I have the correct solution for you! If you are running a race, then you should be getting approximately 8 ounces of a sports drink (to restore your electrolytes) or water possibly every 20 minutes. The amount of fluid that you lose while exercising or running should be replaced adequately before, during and after a workout. This will help the body break away from being dehydrated.

A quick tip to remember while performing your weekly exercise program: If you exercise less than 40 minutes then replenishing with water is just fine. If you exercise more than 40 minutes having a sports drink is better. It will properly restore electrolytes and give your system the nutrient boost it may have expelled through the sweat glands.

When choosing a sports drink, look for salt and sugar on the label and chose a flavor that you like. Weigh yourself right before and after workouts and for every pound lost, drink eight ounces of fluid. Your body is an important biological system, so listen to it very carefully when you are exercising.

A Refreshing Mind-Body Workout

Pilates gets your mind in tune with your body. By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely aware of how your body feels, where it is in space, and how to control its movement. The quality of movement is valued over quantity of repetitions. Proper breathing is essential, and helps you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency. Last but not least, learning to breathe properly can reduce stress.

Pilates elongates and strengthens. Improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility is the focus. A body with balanced strength and flexibility is less likely to be injured.
