Dr Joan Vernikos Speaking in Sperryville Her work demonstrates how modern sedentary lifestyles contribute to poor health, obesity, and diabetes, and how health can be dramatically improved by continuous, low-intensity, movement that challenges the force of gravity. Citing her original NASA research on how weightlessness weakens astronauts’ muscles, bones, and overall health, the author presents a simple and effective plan for maintaining good health throughout life by developing new lifestyle habits of frequent gravity-challenging movement. Written for everyone who spends most of their lives sitting in chairs, at desks, and in cars, this practical, easy-to-follow action plan outlines simple gravity-challenging activities such as standing up frequently, stretching, walking, and dancing that are more healthful and effective than conventional diet and exercise regimens.

Hostess has enough cash to keep stores stocked with its Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other snacks for now as it battles rising labor costs and increased competition. But longer term, the 87-year-old company has a bigger problem: health-conscious Americans favor yogurt and energy bars over the dessert cakes and white bread they devoured 30 years ago. Yea!!!! Lance has proven that even “bikers” can swim! He swam at the Longhorn Masters New Years Classic finishing the 500 free at 5:08.11 with splits of 57.5 1:01.4, 1:02.5, 1:03.5, and 1:03.3.

Sign up for the second in series of Indoor Triathlons.Swim, stationary bike, treadmill on your own time to keep in shape. Submit as many times as you want during the two months. Take advantage of the first three strokes while warming up and working on drills. Do this to help keep your legs streamlined behind you, reserving them for running and biking. Moving your center of gravity forward, will provide free lift for your legs so you aren’t dragging them across the lake! Most people think that there are 1,650 yards in a mile. Not True! There are 1,760 yards in a mile. If you are training in a pool think about that. That means you should really be swimming 70 laps and a turn instead of 66 for a mile. There are 1609.34 Meters in a mile! So 1,500 meters does not make a mile! Add 1 second for every turn you make to get a rough idea of how you are doing in open water for a mile. So tonight at practice we will swim a 1,760! (an extra 100 fly) Welcome to Open Water Swim Season!  Warrenton Masters members ride to Barrel Oak for Autism Fundraiser

Warrenton Aquatic Center Our swim team serves adult swimmers wishing to get, or stay in shape in a team atmosphere that promotes camaraderie among competitive and noncompetitive swimmers.
