Issue 3 - Fall 2005Body for Life @ Formwell Train the Trainer Day! It’s that time of year again—PAYBACK time! It is our annual charity drive to raise money for the Nicholas House Foundation. WHEN: October 29th at 12:00 pm WHAT: You can have the opportunity to put your trainer through a workout designed and implemented by YOU! HOW: You may bid on one or two workout sessions. The current leader’s bids will be posted near the front door so the leaders can be monitored. All bids will be kept by Chris Engels. (You can email, call, or place a written bid in his bin next to the refrigerator, or give your bid to your trainer.) If you would like your bid to remain ‘silent,’ let Chris know and he will leave the dollar amount off. However, those bidding will have the right to ask what the amount is. Donations, regardless of winning bids are welcomed, but not mandatory. Please feel free to contact your trainer with any questions Formwell Triathlon Team The Formwell Triathlon Team has been in full swing this season with some impressive finishes and all have had a great time. After an impressive start to the season with 2 podium finishes at the Gulf Coast 1/2 Ironman with Mathew Rose placing third in the always competitive 30-34 age group and Todd Ortowski anchoring the first place team finish with a strong run, the team has continued to collect trophies. Rami Odeh has been dominating the Clydesdale Masters division by winning just about every race with Jay Scheisser close behind. (Have you noticed the picture of the two battling it out behind the treadmills?) Mathew Rose has had an impressive season only to be disappointed at Nationals - not losing to another athlete, but to the weather. The entire race was cancelled, but there is no doubt in the minds of those that have seen him train and race that he was a shoe-in to qualify for worlds. Chris Engels has had a couple 4th places finishes only to crack the podium in the last race with a third place finish. Chris' day out in Idaho was also a success as he successfully completed his second Ironman. Will there be a third? Husband/wife team of Erik and Kristen Berger had an impressive start to their season as Kristen placed 4th and no one could match the pure power of Erik as he powered his way through the course in an impressive time despite not having the time to train. Erik Schwartz continues to improve his finishes and has had some great finishes in not only triathlon events but also running road races. Dave Ratway takes the prize for most races and he shows his dedication as he improves with just about every race. Unfortunately, we have had one incident in which Kip Coombs had a bike accident and broke his arm. After a fast start to his season with an impressive showing in his first race, he is currently recovering, but looks to be back in competitive spirits before the end of the year! Check out some pictures of the athletes in action at www.formwell.com! Veggied Up, or Veggied Out? Molly McCollough, RD, LD According to the USDA, most Americans don’t meet the 3-5 servings of fruits and vegetables previously recommended by the Food Guide Pyramid. And now, the recommendations have increased to 7-9 servings. Sound high? Keep in mind that one ‘serving’ of fruit or vegetable is about ½ cup. An example of 7 fruits/veggies a day is 1 banana and 2 ½ cups cooked broccoli; Fruits and veggies give us lots of antioxidants, phytochemicals, fiber, and water – nutrients that help ward off disease and help us maintain a healthy weight. Watch the smoothies, though! One 32-ounce smoothie contains about 6 fruit servings – more than most of us need in one day, let alone one meal. If you’re veggied out, be creative with vegetables by including them in your main entrée, such as jazzing up pizza with artichokes, asparagus, and onions or stuffing bell peppers with lean meat and spices. Remember, get veggied up, not veggied out! Are we forgetting our kids? It is no surprise to most of us that today’s children and teenagers are experiencing health conditions that some of their parents have yet to experience. According to the U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, if the obesity trend continues unabated, today’s kids may be the first generation in history to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. We are witnessing an epidemic that demands strong intervention strategies. Defining fun and inspiring methods that explore both primary and secondary fitness characteristics may help reverse the trend of inactivity, as well as improve self-efficacy and self-esteem, making them more confident and comfortable in trying new activities. Along with adults, the following fitness characteristics are important to address with children and teenagers: 1) aerobic capacity, 2) muscular strength, 3) flexibility, 4) balance and 5) agility. Formwell currently offers sport specific training programs for young adults aged 9-18 years old. For those not involved in organized sports, we cater special group classes focusing on the five fitness characteristics listed above. For more information on the programs we offer please contact Chris Engels at 770-804-1898 ext. 19 or email chris@formwell.com.
