***********IN THIS EDITION ***********

What Eagles Can Teach Us   An impressive fact to me about eagles  is that they never gives up living, instead as they find they cannot do the needed flight speed and maneuvers, the eagles retire away in the rock to a mountaintop retreat and over a five month period go through a metamorphosis, allowing the eagle to live for another 30 - 40 years!There are times in your life that you must look back and take stock of it: the good and the bad choices and experiences and make change. Are you keeping up with your body, mind and spirit? Do you need to improve your health? Greatness lies in those "checks and balances" of our personal and professional lives, how they mesh and how to make an effort to learn new things and do better every day.  CLICK HERE TO KEEP READING, AND SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE

Congrats in the USTA (Tennis) Regionals to JKFY Client Lisa Stephens!
At press time, after winning at the state level, Lisa is competing in the USTA Sectionals Championship 3.5 for ages 40 & over -- a big accomplishment at any age and she's looking and playing great with the best of those 40 and up at age 56!  But even more impressive is she's done this following double knee replacements in July 2013, and slimmed down 35 pounds at JKFY too!  Way to go Lisa, you are in it to win it, on or off the court.~ Jackie (Watch for LIsa's upcoming Wall of Fame award in a future edition.)  Lisa adds, "Thanks Jackie, I couldn't have done this without your training and support."

THIS WEEK'S FEATURE!  - It's Time to Shape the Life YOU Want: Find Better Balance, Energy and Weight Loss Here!


With respect to functional
movement, research has
shown a correlation between the weight of an individual and the functional capacity of their gait. A study of more than 200 women displayed that heavier women exhibited poorer balance, slower gait velocity and shorter steps, regardless of their muscular strength.  

A Biomarker's study noted by the National Academy of Sports Medicine suggests that adults who are not involved in exercising regimens will lose approximately 5 - 7 pounds of muscle per decade while simultaneously adding 15 pounds of fat.

Cardiovascular disease is now the leading killer of women, more than the other six leading causes of deaths of American women combined. In fact, consider any girlfriend and know that based on current statistics one of you will die of this disease (1 of every 2 women currently dies from cardiovascular disease) .  Another great reason to get a gal pal to start training with you at JKFY as a Fitness Friend! (Contact Jackie for details!)

How is this all related and what does it mean to you? 

 Keep your awareness on all the benefits of a healthy body and mind.  We tend to focus on the 
outward and obvious benefits: toned body, great posture and gait, and a healthy number on the scale.  The hidden risks of not exercising and finding balance: depression, heart disease and loss of muscle/osteoporosis these aren't easily reversible and should not be ignored. I'm here to help ~ Jackie
