Director's Corner 

 

The IronOaks Fitness and Racquet Center is expanding our Wellness offerings. We currently offer fitness workshops, tennis lessons and socials, monthly presentations featuring a physical therapist, blood drives, medical sreenings, many group activity classes and personal training.

 

A simple, very important and fun addition to our offerings are new brain aerobics. While physical wellness is the predominant reason homeowners engage in activities at a fitness center, intellectual wellness is becoming a more desirable offering.  

 

Research that provides evidence indicates that cognitive health is supported by intellectual activity, social interaction and physical activity. Intellectual activity also is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease. Aerobic exercise is particularly associated with cognitive functioning.  

 

From now on, as you walk through our doors you will notice a new brain aerobics activity every week. Look for it next time you come in.  

 

I love to hear from you, so feel free to call or stop by.

 

Here's to your health.

Pickleball Adjustments

Please take notice of the 3 changes that have been made on the Pickleball Organized Play Schedule:

Wednesday, D Mixed changed to 10:00-11:30 AM time slot

Friday, A/B+/B Mixed changed to 7:00-8:30 AM time slot

Saturday, C Mixed changed to 8:30 AM time slot

Players have already "self-adjusted" to these time slots, so the Schedule now reflects the players' chosen time.

Also, a big thank you to JoAnn Zapatka for taking charge of the updated bulletin board!  Great job!

Core Strengthening Class

7/21/2015 2:00 pm Studio B 45-dumbbell.jpg

 

   Come learn the latest techniques to strengthen your core (a group of muscles in the midsection that include the abdomen). Strengthening your core is a great way to improve your posture, improve your sports game, and add functional strength to your daily activities. Strengthening the core involves much more than just doing crunches, and this is a great opportunity to find out how to safely and effectively improve core strength. The class will be taught by Erik Reinertsen, an experienced Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.  

 Screening Coming to IronOaks 

 

On Wednesday, July 29, Life Line Screening will be here at IronOaks offering five screenings that scan for potential health problems related to:  

 

1) Blocked carotid arteries, a leading cause of stroke

2) Abdominal aortic aneurysms, which can lead to a ruptured aorta

3) Hardening of the arteries in the legs, a strong predictor of heart disease

4) Atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat, which is closely tied to stroke risk

5) Bone density screening, for men and women, used to assess their risk of       osteoporosis.

 

If interested in getting screened, please pick up a pink flyer at the Fitness Center for more information or call 1-888-653-6450 to schedule your appointment.

 

Life Line Screening will also be offering the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit which is FREE to QUALIFIED Medicare beneficiaries (no co-pay if you have Medicare Part B). This is not a physical but a personal wellness consultation designed to help you and your doctor keep you healthy, safe and independent for a long time. Medicare is billed for this visit. Pre-registration is required. CALL 1-866-579-5069 to schedule your Annual Wellness Visit.
