1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 red pepper, diced
1 can small red beans or pinto beans, preferably low sodium drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups no-salt-added tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Brown the meat and the onion in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Pour the drippings out of the pan and discard. Add the garlic, jalapeno, and red pepper and cook 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes more. Place a half-cup scoop of the mixture onto each bun and serve.

BAC FIT TIP
Question: Will running when my legs are still sore from a workout hurt my strength gains? Bob from Modesto
If you're beginning a workout program, your legs may be sore from new stress. If running is part of your first week's plan, it's fine to work through the soreness; but if you're still hurting after a week, stop running. Instead, rest more between workouts. That said, long, slow distance runs hurt your strength gains, whether you're sore or not. Sprints and intervals complement strength training while improving your cardiovascular system. |

Have a great time out there on your runs!

This weapon of mass construction is the caloric equivalent of eating 14 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, before your dinner arrives. Even if you split this "starter" with 3 friends, you'll have downed a meal's worth of calories.
Super Substitution: Both the Seared Ahi and the Shrimp on the Barbie offer a big dose of protein, which helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload. |

BAC Fitness Maniac of the Month |
 Amy Kienitz
3rd Grade Teacher
Personal Trainer: Julie Betts-Albert
Amy has been a member of Brenda Athletic Clubs for over 3 years. She is a very busy individual but still finds time to stay fit and healthy.
I work out 3 or 4 times a week, usually in the morning before I go to school (work). I usually work out from 4:45 to 5:45am Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then go home and get ready for the day. I am so NOT a morning person either. But I found that if I waited until after school to work out, something else would come up or I would be tired. A couple of my friends were working out in the morning, so I decided to give it a shot. It only took about 2 weeks for my body to adjust to a morning workout and I always feel great after working out in the morning. I have so much energy the whole day because I've gotten my body and mind going in a good way early in the morning. I also try to work out on Saturdays. On Saturday, I try to work out for a longer period of time, or do a group exercise class:something to change up my work out. I've found that if I do the same routine all the time, I get bored with my workout. And if I get bored, I'll "find" reasons to not go to the gym. I also love working out with other people when I can. I like to work out with friends and trainers and in group exercise classes. Other people can show you new work out ideas or remind you of ones that you might have forgot.
I feel that working out isn't just something that should be a "chore" or item I check off of a list of things to do. I want to leave the gym every time I work out and say, "I'm glad I did that today. I feel better." Even if the workout is only an hour long. An hour is better than nothing. My live is super busy (just like everyone else's life) but I MAKE time for the gym. That's one of the main reasons I started going in the morning. I just didn't have time after school. I tell myself in the morning, "You're only losing an hour of sleep. And you know you'll feel better after you work out." I have never once left the gym and thought I had wasted time. I've never regretted working out. I'm involved in my school's PTA organization (I'm the Co-Historian) and I'm one of the lead organizers for Sylvan's Spring Fling fundraiser at Funworks and Sylvan's Jog-A-Thon. Almost every day after school, I have some sort of meeting to go to or organize. Also, I am continuing my education by taking classes in the evenings and on weekends. Life is busy, but working out is so important to me that I MAKE time for it. I decided about 10 months ago that nobody was responsible for my body type or body image except for me. If I want it to change, then I need to put in the effort and make going to gym a priority. I also try to make it FUN, listen to the iPod, rock out, and work out a sweat, all while getting in shape. I also think that it is important to work out for YOURSELF. Don't workout because you want to look good for someone else. Look good for yourself. I workout for ME and I love it!

Ask the Trainer
Shannon Fredeen  The term functional training has been floating around the fitness industry for a while now. But what does it mean and how does an individual train for function. The type of training an individual does is specific to that individual's goals. The more specific your goal the more specific your training. Thus the work out of an athlete looking to improve performance compared to the individual competing in a bodybuilding contest is very different. However, the vast majority of gym members want to lose weight, look good, and or feel better. With those goals in mind they suit up in their favorite exercise gear and hit the gym.
Often times fitness seekers enter the gym and without much thought or planning begin their usual gym ritual. Some of these rituals include going machine to machine or visiting the cardio room for a long session planted in front of a television. Another example of a popular gym ritual is doing the same strength training routine they have done for years, training one muscle at a time and doing multiple exercises for the same muscle (or two) every day during the week. None of the above regimens are high on the list of training principles for developing your overall fitness. In fact long bouts of cardio, isolating single muscles, or simply using a variety of fancy machines are not necessarily productive and may even be counter productive if not implemented with other types of workouts. Strength and endurance indeed, are measurable factors of fitness but other components such as flexibility, balance, stability, coordination, agility and speed may also be included.
Enter the benefits of functional training. Functional training is centered around movement not focused on muscles. Isolation exercises are replaced with whole body exercises using your own body weight and multiple joint exercises using moderate weight or loads appropriate to the individual. Some good examples of more familiar functional types of movements are squats, lunges, and push ups. Proper use of equipment such as steps, stability balls, jump ropes and free weights are also instrumental in a functional training program.
READY-SET-GOAL
As a trainer I have the opportunity to study and research new training techniques and modalities, but I also take advantage of educating myself in basic movements and lifts that have worked for decades. As with any endeavor in life a plan is essential when striving toward a goal. Once you have a fitness goal don't be random, develop a plan. If you need help consult a professional and get on track! Get engaged, have fun and learn to train for function!
