A MESSAGE FROM JUNIA STEPHENS,
                        DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT,
                     FRIENDS OF THE MILWAUKIE CENTER
                          As 2019 comes to a close and the sun sets on another decade, we should all take
                          a moment to reflect. For me personally, this year has been life changing and
                          oh, so fulfilling. To think that late in life one can find their perfect calling is quite
                          humbling.
                          Since beginning my journey with the Friends of the Milwaukie Center in March,
                          every single day has been perfectly wonderful. I am thrilled to be a part of such
                          a compassionate and supportive atmosphere. The Staff here and my Board of
                          Directors have been so very welcoming, and the patrons of our great Center are so
                          special. I have enjoyed getting to know you and hearing your stories.
                           When one starts a new life adventure or turns the page to a new chapter, it is
                           always exciting, yet at times can make you apprehensive or question the path you
have taken. I have felt nothing but confidence that my decision to join the Milwaukie Center family was one
of the best I’ve ever made.
I look forward to continuing to grow with the Center and to helping those that are lucky enough to be a part
of it to enjoy the full benefits of this special community.

                                    you know what they mean and the differences between them? If so, then
                                    you can reap the benefits each has to offer, but if not, then you could just
                                    be wasting your time and not seeing the results you want. And worse, you
                                    could be opening yourself to overuse injuries. Let’s take a closer look at
                                    each type of training regime.
                                    Circuit Training: Involves several (usually 6-10) exercise stations
                                    performed one after the other, with each one focusing on a different
                                    muscle group. The idea behind a circuit is that one muscle group is
                                    resting while you’re working on another one. For example, the legs will
                                    rest from squats as you move to doing push-ups, and the chest and arms
                                    rest while you perform a core exercise. Because there is little to no rest
                                    between stations, just the time it takes to move to the next one, this type
                                    of workout can quickly become a cardiovascular workout.

6. It’s a great way to beat boredom. There are endless possibilities to creating circuits.
Interval Training: Typically includes a variety of exercises, but is less about what you’re doing and more
about the intensity of what you’re doing. Interval training relies on moderate- to high-intensity work with
periods of active or passive rest. The intervals of work-to-rest can vary depending on the goals of the
workout, the fitness level of the participant(s), and type of “equipment” or tools being used. An example
might look like: 1 minute of squats, followed by 30 seconds of jumping jacks, followed by 30 seconds easy
walking.
HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training): This is interval training gone wild! It will typically include a strength
or cardio exercise, followed by an activity performed at near maximum output, followed by a longer rest
period. There may be 4-6 pairings in this type of workout. HIIT workouts should not be done more than three
times a week due to the intensity and the body’s need for recovery days.
