ADULT 40+ LEAGUE SIGN-UP NOW FOR 2020
We are now taking sign-ups for the 2020 USTA 40+ Adult season. The playing season starts January 6, 2020 and
ends April 5, 2020. Playoffs begin mid April with Districts and Sectionals in early to mid May. Nationals for Men’s
and Women’s 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 only and are TBD.
If you would like to participate, please send an e-mail to the Pro Shop at lgsrc.proshop@gmail.com by midnight on
Sunday, December 1, 2019 with your name, rating, partners name and rating (please note that your partner needs
to reply with the same information), level of team(s) you wish to play on, and indicate red or white team.
A “Red” Team will be run more competitively. Therefore, a captain cannot guarantee how many matches each
player will receive. A Red Team captain will always try to get each player at least two matches, with the stronger
players playing more often. A “White” Team Captain will rotate players evenly throughout the season. However,
one determining factor of how frequently a player will play is his or her availability.

WHAT IS A HIIT WORKOUT?
COME FIND OUT!
Chances are you’ve heard of HIIT workouts — but you
may not know exactly what that means. And even if
you do, maybe you’re looking for a fresh routine that
you can sneak into your day. We’ve got you covered!
HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. The
intensity in these workouts means there is little (if any)
downtime built in. This workout is also comprised of
interval training, which means exercises are done in
bursts. They can start slow and become faster from
one exercise to another. Typically, cardio and strength
training are combined to create a well-rounded high-
intensity interval training workout.
Prior to starting a HIIT workout, do some light dynamic
stretching, such as twists at your waist and side lunges SMART FITNESS GOALS
to warm up the lower and upper body.
Come try our HIIT Core class with Rachel Young on Get your SMART fitness goals with “2020 Vision”
Monday’s from 4:30pm - 5:30pm to see what the
excitement is all about! SMART is an acronym to remind you how to set a goal that
maps out exactly what you need to do. These goals are
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time.
SMART, or specific, measurable, achievable, relevant,
time sensitive, goals are one of the best ways to achieve
new results each week. It’s the simplest and most positive
approach toward feeling good and living healthy over the
short and long terms.
Drink more water.
Start Stretching More Often.
Add in Some High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).
Focus on Your Breathing When You Work Out.
Build More Lean Muscle.

FITNESS
THE 3 REASONS PEOPLE ARE OBSESSED WITH CROSSFIT
If someone in your life does CrossFit, the high-intensity
fitness training favored by Marines and first responders,
you’ve ribbed them (out loud or in your mind) about
being part of a cult. This is a natural response to their
relentless insistence that CrossFit has changed their life,
and that it will change your life, too! “The first rule of
CrossFit,” the quip goes, “is always talk about CrossFit.”
So why are CrossFitters so wrapped up in this movement
that’s grown from one fringe gym in a California industrial
park to 10,000 independent “boxes” and the CrossFit
Games, an international competition with over 200,000
participants? It’s not a cult of personality, although
CrossFit founder Greg Glassman can rattle sabers with
the best of them. There’s not much celebrity glitz-and-
glamour. The facilities where people do CrossFit are bare
bones, often in converted auto body workshops and
defunct manufacturing spaces. There are no mirrors,
and none of the conventional health-club amenities. And unlike bargain cardio-machine farms with monthly fees
of twenty dollars or less, CrossFit isn’t cheap. Those people alternating Olympic weightlifting movements with
handstand pushups and rope climbs are paying $150-$200 a month to throw themselves into their chosen ordeal.
They do it for three reasons. The first and most obvious is the physical result. High intensity exercise yields results
that differ in kind from moderate-intensity efforts, not just in degree. In a peer-reviewed study in which one group
exercised at moderate intensity for 45 minutes on a stationary bike and the other group did high-intensity intervals
for 20 minutes and burned the same number of calories, the high-intensity group lost nine times the fat. Human
growth hormone (HGH) and other compounds cascade into the blood of people who sprint as though a monster
is chasing them and lift heavy objects as if earthquake survivors are trapped underneath. These hormones signal
the body to burn fat and build muscle. The grim trudge-to-nowhere on a cardio machine, or miles of brisk walking,
does not unlock this chemical cascade.
The second reason for CrossFitters’ passionate adherence is social. These gauntlets are run as a pack of between
half a dozen and 20 people. Doing something physically intense and difficult binds a group of people. Military
trainers have known this for thousands of years. But CrossFit is the first modern-day phenomenon that allows Jo-
Anne from human resources to feel something like the fierce kinship of Marines. The workouts are scaled (weaker
athletes modify the movements, or do them with less weight). But everyone gives 100% effort. There is a primal
magic in going physically all-out with a dozen people. It’s not just a sense of accomplishment, the modern clock-
punching virtue of exercise. It’s victory, the way you feel when your team beats the other team. Wrapped up in
that sense of victory, as in any pack victory, is gratitude: that you’re getting stronger, and that you’re part of a pack
that can move their own weight quickly and literally carry each other, that together you can leave all that energy
out on the floor, three or four times a week.
The ritual sacrifice of human energy, argues classics scholar David Sansone, is the bedrock definition of sport, and
the genesis of sport. When paleolithic hunter-gatherers sacrificed animals to their gods, they were also sacrificing
the energy it took to hunt those animals. When those hunters became farmers, they continued to sacrifice animals.
But because the animals were domesticated, there was no way to sacrifice the energy it would have taken to hunt
that animal. This is when athletic rituals – foot races and field games – became part of religious practice. Freed
from the constraints of a literal hunt, that ritual sacrifice of human energy could take a thousand forms, from
Native American lacrosse to Meso-American ball games, tribal competitions in Africa and the Olympic Games, in
honor of the ancient Greek’s pre-eminent god. The winner of the Olympic foot race was given a torch, and carried
that torch up the steps to light the burnt offering to Zeus.

WINTER SAFETY TIPS FOR KIDS
Winter offers families the chance to enjoy
all kinds of fun cold weather activities. Chilly
temperatures don’t mean you have to stay
cooped up in the house, but before playing
tag football in short-sleeved shirts, do make
sure your kids are prepared to safely enjoy
activities despite the frigid weather. Follow
these three tips for a chilly yet awesome
time:
Stay Warm
This may seem basic, but no matter your
winter sport of choice, staying warm is
important. Choosing the right clothing and
equipment will help you and your kids stay
toasty throughout the activity. Dress kids in
warm, water-resistant layers with a hat, scarf
and gloves or mittens. Children lose body heat faster than adults, so make sure they take indoor breaks every 30
to 40 minutes.
Stay Hydrated
When playing in cold, dry air, it’s easy to forget to stay hydrated. Even if you’re not sweating, you are still risking
dehydration. Encourage kids to drink plenty of water before, during and after play. Children are at increased risk of
dehydration compared to adults, even in cold temperatures.
Sunscreen
Though it might seem odd in winter, don’t forget to put on sunscreen when skiing, sledding, skating or snowboarding.
Sunlight reflects off the bright white snow and ice and back onto your face--so cover up with sunscreen, and put
some lip balm that contains sunscreen on your lips (even when it’s cloudy outside).
