Happy New Year! Its Janu-ary and for many peoplethat means its time to set

annual resolutions about eat-ing right and living well.

After numerous holiday cel-ebrations, the last few months,for me its almost a relief to getthe house all cleaned up andbegin to think about 2010. It

was so easy during Thanksgiv-ing and Christmas to use allsorts of excuses not to exerciseand eat right. This past season

we even had the excuse ofsnow!

If youre looking for somenew ways to jumpstart yourexercise and health routines,this months Granite Bay Viewissue offers you a plethora ofarticles to read about exercise,

wellness, nutrition and evenmeditation.

For me, my exercise timecomes in the morning before

the work day begins. But thistime of year I find it particular-ly difficult to stick to a schedule

when its so cold and dark out-side. It seems like lately all I

want to do is turn off the alarm

and go back to sleep!But on those mornings when

I do get up and work out Ialways am glad I did completea workout. I even went to anew exercise class called Zum-ba, which is a form of exercisecreated in the mid-90s byColombian native Beto Perez.The class fuses hypnotic Latinrhythms and somewhat easy-to-follow moves inspired bythe traditional cumbia, salsa,samba and merengue music. Itis a total body workout withoutrealizing you are exercising.

In addition to Zumbra I also

went to work out with person-al trainer and Granite Bay Viewfitness columnist Deb Skelton.She has a group of local resi-dents she has been training forabout a year (see page 5) and

last month she invited join in on one of her sesAfter lasting about an hwas fatigued but felt goodshowed up. It wasnt unnext day that I realizedsore I was. I didnt knomany muscles even exist

But theres so many difways to be fit. And they allrequire strenuous activittaking a brisk walk can beeficial for so many peoplfind something you like tothe advice most fitness p

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Finding the perfect place topractice Pilates isnt easy.Though gyms may offer

Pilates, and yoga too, the stu-dent-to-teacher ratio can befairly high, and personal atten-tion is often absent in large set-tings.

Thats a problem that KayDavis and Lesley Allen, ownersof Granite Bay Pilates and Yoga,decided to fix.

We wanted to connect withpeople who were unconnect-ed, with people who didnthave a yoga home or a Pilatesplace, Davis said.

Granite Bay Pilates and Yogarecently celebrated its five-yearanniversary, and has been in itsnew home off Sierra College

and Douglas for about threeyears.Pilates is a core-based exer-

cise that increases flexibility,strength and overall fitness.

Just take a look at the studio,and youll have no doubtsomething big is happening.

Both large and small piecesof equipment line the room,and its interesting to see howmany different ways partici-pants can use each piece.

The Cadillac, the largestpiece in the room, can, at 6 feettall, be a little intimidating.

But the Cadillac may be thevery piece that practitioners

love the best.Pushing, pulling, stretching

and flexing, theres virtually nomuscle that cant be improvedby using the Cadillac in its myr-iad of functions.

Both group instruction andindividual training are offeredseveral times a week, and anygiven morning or afternoon,men and women show up tomake sure they look and feeltheir best.

We do both equipment andmat work, and suggest peopledo both more than one time a

week theyll see a lot of bene-fit from that, Allen said.

Granite Bay resident NeilDoerhoff, is a Granite BayPilates and Yoga regular. He hasbeen attending private ses-sions several times a week forthe last seven years.

After experiencing chronicback problems, he worked

with a fitness coach who wasalso working with the Sacra-mento Kings. When his coachsuggested Pilates, he found theGranite Bay studio, andattends private sessions with

Allen.It was the best thing I ever

did for my back, Doerhoffsaid.

He said he is impressed bythe knowledge and fitness lev-el of the studios staff.

Everything they tell me todo, they can also do, which is aparticular requirement forme, Doerhoff said. Every dayI do something different, and

theyre extremely knowledge-able about muscle attach-ments and tendons.

Pilates has been around foralmost 100 years, but has only,in the last decade or so,become main stream.

Joseph Pilates originally

developed the moves forinjured dancers. His methodsare ideal for rehabilitation pur-

poses, in addition to exercise.We can be the next step

after physical therapy, and canhelp people all the waythrough athletes, Allen said.When you see a Cirque duSoleil type show, you see someof what we do. People become

aware of their posture in a waythey havent known. Its aboutbreath, concentration, controland centering.

More gyms are creatinggroup classes to fulfill theincreased need for Pilatestraining, but Allen and Davisare excited to offer small groupclasses only four people in areformer (equipment) class,and individual sessions as well.

I think you get more aware-ness of your body and morebenefit from a private session,but on the other hand, groupclasses can push you positivelyin the right direction, Allen

said. We offer both, plusgroup yoga classes as well.

Allen and Davis, both formerinstructors at Johnson RanchRacquet Club in Roseville, havebeen in the exercise field formore than 30 years, and con-tinuously stay abreast of cur-

rent research and advanboth Pilates and yoga.

The pair recently expatheir studio, allowing thhave a dedicated yoga sand a massage therapist as well.

Though yoga and Phave some similarities, said she embraces their dences.

I think Pilates movequicker pace. Once become advanced, the gto move pretty quickly,said.Yoga can be more oslow, spiritual side.

Granite Bay is a fit com

nity, to be sure, but the sis also for people who hobegin a fitness programonly for seasoned experts

ts been about a year since

Michelle Dwyer beganworking out in her mother-in-laws Granite Bay garage.

Since that time shes lost 85pounds and is preparing to runin her first half marathon.

Im right where I want tobe, Dwyer, a Loomis residentsaid. It seems like its gone byfast.

Dwyer said she now eats fiveto six mini meals each day andhas not been hungry. Sheadmits the biggest challenge toany fitness regime is consisten-cy.

I used to hate to exercisebut now if I dont do it, I feel

like I dont have any energy,she said.

Dwyer is part of a group ofeight men and women whomeet twice a week for one hour

with certified fitness trainer,rehabilitation specialist andlicensed nurse Debra Skelton

in the garage of Dwyers moth-er-in-law, Judy Dwyer.

Judy, who has lost 40 pounds

this past year, said having thegroup in her home makes thewhole exercising process fun.

And the routines are neverboring. Skelton said she is con-stantly mixing it up andchanges the exercise everyminute for the hour session.

I like to mix cardio withstrength training, Skeltonsaid. Thats the best way toburn fat. A body burns calories

when it is adapting to some-thing new.

Currently Skelton is using anapparatus called a TRX Sus-pension Trainer, which is a setof ropes with handles that is

suspended from a door ornailed into a wall. The TRWuses a persons own body

weight and can be utilized in avariety of exercises that focuson cardio and strength.

New Years Day ... it neverfails to evoke feelings ofhope and renewal, but is

it really a trap?Weve been handed a prover-

bial clean slate anotherchance to shrug off your badhabits and reach for yourdreams.

In an attempt to bottle thatNew Years vigor, youll make afew New Years resolutions. Butbefore you put pen to paper,

you ought to know this:It has been reported that 92

percent of all New Years resolu-tions end in failure.

That means that less than 1out of every 10 people will suc-cessfully accomplish their res-olutions in 2010.

Ouch those statistics arebrutal. Who in their right mind

would take the time to makeresolutions when failure is that

imminent?So yes it is true, most peoplefail to achieve their New Years

resolutions. However, I amgoing to clue you in on whatthe 92 percent do wrong and toinform you of what the 8 per-cent who succeed do right.

First up, the 92 percent whofailed. These well-meaningfolks shared a common mis-take that put the nail in theircoffin before theyd evenbegun.

They bit off more than theycould chew.

In all the excitement ofbecoming a better person andchanging their life in the New

Year they made the crucial

mistake of committing to dotoo much. But reality set in, afew weeks or even days into

their reformed life, and theygave up.

The 92 percent gave them-selves an easy way out. Theyapproached their resolution

with an all-or-nothing attitude.Once the all became tootough they opted for nothing.

Now lets examine the 8 per-cent who succeed with theirresolutions year after year. Thekey to their success is quitesimple (you may have evenguessed it by now).

They set realistic goals.Instead of resolving to lose

50 pounds by June, they com-

mit to exercise three to fourtimes each week.Instead of resolving to give

up all carbs, they commit tobring healthy snacks to workinstead eating from the vend-ing machine.

Instead of resolving to dropthree sizes in three months,they commit to losing onepound each week until theyreach their desired size.

Instead of resolving to nevereat out again, they commit toeating healthy all week andrewarding themselves with onemeal out on the weekends.

Did you see the difference?If you want your resolution

to stick then think of some-

thing simple and realistic. Sure,it certainly wont sound as coolas the resolutions that the 92

percent make but they going to keep theirs anyw

Remember that the wpoint of making a New Yresolution is to becomhealthier, happier and successful person. changes done consistentmake a big difference.

Wishing you a heahappier and successful 2

Maintaining independence was very important to JaneTouloukian after being dis-charged from a local hospitalfollowing heart surgery. Origi-nally from Southern California,Touloukians children wantedher to be close to them in theSacramento area, but still haveher independence.

As I heal physically and gainmy strength back, I wanted tohave a little help, but still liveon my own. I think I havefound a way to do that,Touloukian said.

Touloukian is currently liv-ing at Eskaton in Granite Bay.Eskaton offers community liv-ing for seniors at varied levelsof support. Independent livingapartment are available andinclude meals, transportationand laundry service. Assistedliving services are also avail-able for seniors who need a lit-tle more support.

Without adequate fluid intake,confusion can increase, along

with an increased risk of falls.Caldwell recommends

drinking eight glasses of waterthroughout the day. Fluidsshould be increased after exer-cise or in hot weather. At Eska-ton water is passed to the resi-dents several times a day andfrequent reminders by the staff

are given to drink up.Cognitive function andmemory may decrease in somepeople as they age. Caldwellsuggests doing activities that

help with cognitive function,such as reading, crosswordpuzzles, and games like Scrab-ble.

We have a computer pro-gram, which the residents areencouraged to use to helpimprove memory and keep themind sharp. Even simplethings like looking at old pho-tos helps work on recollectionand may improve memory,Caldwell said.

Maintaining friendships andinvolvement in activities is alsoimportant for seniors to stayhealthy, physically and emo-tionally. Caldwell suggests sen-

iors participate in activitiesthat give them purpose,

whether its hobbies or volun-teer work. Several of our resi-

dents volunteer with the localhospitals or work with theschools, Caldwell said.

The emotional wellbeing ofthe residents at Eskaton is

essential to us. We have all typesof activities residents can getinvolved in including a bridgeclub, games and bus trips,

In Sarah Hardestys officeeveryone is on pins and nee-dles. But its not due to anxi-

ety and stress.

Hardesty is an acupuncturistand the pins and needles in herpractice are synonymous withrest, relief from pain and purerelaxation.

Acupuncture, an ancientpractice that was recorded inChina more than 2,000 yearsago, has enjoyed increasingpopularity in the United Statesover the last few decades.

Hardesty said the techniqueis a fast-growing health carealternative and supplement totraditional Western medicine.

Hardesty works with clients,and in some cases, clientsphysicians as well.

People might think that anacupuncturist might have justtaken a few classes, but thatsnot the case, Hardesty said. Ihave eight years of total med-ical training.

Hardesty has been practicingalternative medicine for 15

years, and specifically, Asianmedicine for five. She has amasters of science degree intraditional Chinese medicine,and is working on a clinicaldoctorate, which she will com-plete soon.

But degrees and diplomasarent what visitors thinkabout, once theyre on Hard-

estys table.A spa-like setting, the treat-

ment room inside the Back toHealth Center in Granite Baymimics that of any massagetable.

Except for the wall chartsrevealing pressure points andmeridians a simple idea thatseems extremely complex

when gazing at the dot-to-dotof points on the wall, patientsmight forget theyre about tobe the recipient of almost-too-small-to-see needles.

Acupuncture is all abouttreating the body holistically,or achieving a balance, or

homeostasis, Hardesty said.It doesnt look at symptoms,so much, as the fact that animbalance in the body causesthe symptoms. It treats the rootproblem instead of putting aband-aid on it.

She said by allowing thebody to reach a state of balance

it can help alleviate symptomsor eliminate them all together -Symptoms of myriad achesand ailments, from arthritisand other chronic pain condi-tions, to menopausal discom-fort, to weight loss.

The needle-phobic need notbe alarmed.The first thing I do is take

out a needle and show you. Itsliterally hair thin, Hardestysaid. People can be nervous.They have this association withhollow needles that hurt.

Acupuncture patients rarelyfeel the needle at all, and Hard-esty said many people suffer-ing from painful conditionsexperience relief immediately.

I was pleasantly surprisedto see how fast my symptoms

were gone, and how pain free Iwas, said Michelle Diodati, aGranite Bay resident and one

of Hardestys patients. It wastruly full-circle treatment.

Some people find relief afterone or two treatments, for oth-ers, it can take a bit longer,especially for chronic painconditions.

When people come in witha migraine headache, I want tofind out why. What kind ofimbalance do you have? Mygoal is to not have you in myoffice on a regular basis, Hard-esty said. Maybe just for atune up a couple times a year,once we get you in balance.

She explained that treat-ments depend on numerous

factors, and a first visit can takeup to an hour and a half, andincludes an extensive inter-view.

I might have six differentpatients come in withmigraines, and treat them sixcompletely different ways, shesaid.

Hardesty has been practicingin Granite Bay since August. Arecent transplant from SantaCruz, she spent an afternoon

each week volunteering hertreatments at a men and

womens homeless shelter inher previous location.

Hardesty said she intends torenew her commitment totreating the underserved, andhas her eye on an addictiontreatment center where she

hopes to donate her expertiseon a weekly basis, once she isfully settled.

But building her practice

here in Granite Bay is first andforemost on her list this winterseason.

I see acute and chronic painsufferers theyre probably mymost frequent clients, shesaid. I also see a lot of successhelping people with auto-immune disorders, like

fibromyalgia, chronic faand multiple sclerosis.

Hardesty also menopausal women wh

able to go off of, or avoidmone replacement theand diabetes patients whable to reduce their depence on insulin.

Its good preventativeicine, and good for boothe immune system, toosaid.

Centers Foundation.By night, headlamp in tow,

Marquez, a Granite Bay resi-dent is a runner.

Marquez, who just finishedthe California InternationalMarathon Dec. 6, said shesonly been running for aboutthree years.

I started as a power walker,Marquez said. I decided totake my fitness to a differentlevel and began to run.

Marquez said she completedthe CIM in four hours, 35 min-utes.

It was a very cold and windyrun, which made it challengingfor me especially in the secondhalf, she said. I still had agreat time, excited to run withso many others and I am very

happy with the accomplish-ment.For Marquez, being a runner

is a natural part of her well-being and weight manage-ment. She said the first race

she ran was a half marathon in2006. Since that time she hascompleted numerous halfmarathon races and fourmarathons, including the CIM.

I enjoy the benefits runninggives to me, she said. Plus itsthe one thing where I get acomplete return on my invest-ment. Ive enjoyed being ableto have this new level of fitnessthat Ive never had before. Ivenever regretted a run, no mat-ter how tired I am. It gives me asense of accomplishment.

Marquez said the key tokeeping up with her vigorous

exercise routine is consistency.Ive been running about 25miles per week lately in prepa-ration for the CIM and Ivebeen relatively injury-free, shesaid.

Even with all the traMarquez said she doesnevery day as she feels herneeds rest as much as itthe exercise.

veryone knows thatweight loss is a product ofsimple math. Burn more

calories than you take in andthe pounds will slowly drop.

But according to Granite Baydoctor Ed Hendricks, the typesof calories you ingest areimportant, too and caloriesfrom high-quality protein arekey.

Hendricks, a bariatric weightloss physician, also known as amedical weight managementdoctor, was awarded the honorof Bariatrician of the Year, bythe American Society ofBariatric Physicians in 2009.

An honor Hendricks takes

seriously while running TheCenter for Weight Manage-ment with his wife, nutritionistPaula Hendricks, in bothRoseville and Sacramentolocations.

The Hendricks who wereboth overweight when theybegan seriously investigatingthe causes and treatment ofobesity, believe that to lose

weight, four keys must beaddressed: motivation, propereating, physical activity andcorrecting abnormal chem-istry.

We believe in having a bal-ance protein, carbohydrates,

and fat. We dont believe ineliminating any of those,Paula Hendricks said.

But protein is the one funda-mental that Paula Hendricksthinks people dont get enoughof.

Ed Hendricks agreed.Its important to start your

day with 30 grams of protein.Otherwise, your body will startto break down muscle. When

you get in your 60s, you canend up without much musclemass, he said.

A high-protein, mid morn-ing snack doesnt necessarilymean hauling five slices of

bacon around in your purse. Acaramel crunch protein bar, orvanilla wafer protein square,both available at the center, arepacked with the same amountof protein as the strips ofbacon, and satisfy with sur-prisingly delicious flavors andtextures according to Ed Hen-

dricks. And people achieveweight loss goals by utithe many foods and suments the center offers,simply following a medsupervised diet, while esome of their favorite from the local grocery sto

SPECIAL TO THE GRANITE BAY VIEW

F

or more than 25 years

Susan Rickman practicedyoga.When the Sacramento State

University learning disabilitiesspecialist retired in 2001, sheturned her passion for yogainto a business. Rickmanopened the Mandala Center inGranite Bay, which offers

Ananda and therapeutic yoga,guided imagery and music andcraniofacial therapy.

Although she was a studentof yoga for years, Rickmanreceived formal training as aninstructor at the ExpandingLight Ananda and MedicationRetreat in Nevada City. She also

completed a three- year train-ing program in guided imagery

with the Association for Musicand Imagery.

Ananda yoga is a gentleform of exercise, which focuseson the three aspects of yogaincluding balance, strength

and flexibility, Rickman said.She said other styles of yoga,

such as power yoga may bemore strenuous and not rightfor all fitness levels. Anandastyle yoga is appropriate forpeople of all ages and exercisebackgrounds.

That gentle approach is whatattracted Nora Grimm to the

center a year and half ago.Grimm, who is currently

undergoing cancer treatment,feels the health benefits areboth, physical and emotional.

I think coming to the centerand doing yoga has helped me

with balance and flexibility. Ithas also help keep my emo-tions balanced and reduce

stress while I go throughchemotherapy, Grimm said.

Rickman believes in addingaffirmations to some yoga pos-es.

The affirmations promotepsychological benefits to theexercise, Rickman said.

During yoga exercises deepbreathing techniques are alsointegrated. This deep breath-ing, along with the stretchingand poses helps promoterelaxation and a feeling a well-

being, she said.A recent study at Harvard

University states yoga canimprove mood and maydecrease depression in somepeople, Rickman said.

Ginger Devereaux also reliedon her yoga background and

breathing techniques waiting to undergo heargery after a heart attack inta Rica last year.

I was very tense beforgery and feeling overwheI start doing the breatechniques I learned in clhelped me relax andthrough the experiencecenter has a unique atphere, which just helprelax, Devereaux said.

One thing which mak

Time to prune your trees and be ready forspring!

Each year in Januarythoughts of what we wantto accomplish in the New

Year seem to magically appear.Children often listen to us

talk about these New YearsResolutions.

Taking the time to help yourchild develop his/her own res-olutions is very beneficial. Itshows caring on your part, andit reinforces in the childs mind

what you think is important.The following are some ideas

for resolutions in the areas of

health, hygiene and nutrition,exercise, school, friends andself that can be discussed with-in the family and will give yourchild some ideas of resolutionsto make.

Make it fun by making short-term resolutions with rewards;otherwise, like adults, theymay make the resolution andits importance dwindles andthen the resolution is not kept.

Keep the resolutions shortand suggest rotating them sothey are more likely to be suc-cessful. For example, onemonth work on how to be abetter friend, etc. I will be a

better friend this month by____.Making too many resolu-

tions at once puts too muchpressure on a child. Once thechild feels success, adding onanother resolution will then befun.

Health, hygieneand nutrition

Make a list of healthy things,like taking vitamins, drinkingenough water and milk, etc.and keep a daily chart. Limitsoft drinks and sugar by decid-ing on a better choice.

Talk about nutritious snacks

and let your child choosesnacks from a compiled list.Talk about brain food. Look up

brain food on the Internemake a list of what shouin the lunch box every da

Eat more foods thaplants or grow in trees anless manufactured ones.

Exercise At least 10-30 minu

exercise is needed everyFind fun ways to extogether. Play games sports (One to three tim

week) and climb stairs Vary the activities to k

interesting. Keep a charreward yourselves.

than using dumbbells, Skel-ton said. It really gets waydown, deep in the muscle.

With the TRX you are able totransition from one exerciseto a another in minimal time.

You get the best workout in theshortest amount of time work-ing every muscle group using

your core all the time. With theTRX you develop strength, gainflexibility and balance. Its atotal body workout, anywhere,

anytime.Group participant PriscellaHobday of Roseville said sheenjoys the TRX because it takesthe weight off her joints whilein a jogging motion.

Deb is really good at adapt-ing our exercises to meet anyspecial needs, Hobday said.Ive been working out withDeb for seven years and I justdecided to join this group. Ineed someone to push me.

John and Terry Ritchey havealso recently joined SkeltonsGranite Bay workout group.

I dont have any weight lossgoals, John said. Im just

doing it for fitness and goodhealth. Debra really keeps usgoing. If I were by myself, Id betaking a break right now.

Terry agreed and said howshe and John motivate eachother.

The group works hard,theres no time to slack as Skel-

ton calls out a different set ofinstructions at a constant rate.

Shes just so nice about itall, John Ritchey said.

Skelton said even if herGranite Bay group didnt usean apparatus such as the TRX,exercise goals are still achiev-

able.You dont need a lot of fancyequipment to get into shape,Skelton said. You really canexercise anywhere.

A typical workout of Skel-tons Granite Bay group con-sists of jogging up and downDwyers street, jumping rope,doing football runs, where theparticipants run in a sidewaysdirection with feet closetogether as quickly as possible,push ups, lunges and lots ofabdominal work on a mat.

You could do this routine ina park using a park bench fordips, or anywhere, Skelton

said.For those who pledge to

have fitness a part of their NewYears resolution, Skelton saidthe important part is to just getmoving. It doesnt matter whattype of routine you do, justkeep changing it up and thebody will change.

profession. Help, which he saidis frequently lacking.

Obesity is a chronic illness,Ed Hendricks said. Medicalresearch has taught us that thisis no longer a self-help prob-lem. This is a medical prob-

lem.Paula Hendricks pointed outthat were bombarded withinformation.

There are so many com-mercial operations, nutritionstores, but where do you gofrom there? Who do you trust?Its not about being a Voguemodel, here, its about gettinghealthy, she said.

Granite Bay resident KellySmith (her name has beenchanged for privacy), has beena patient of Dr. Hendrickssince the early 90s, and has

worked in the centers office forfive years.

I was referred by anotherdoctor, because my weight wascreeping up slowly twopounds, two pounds, twopounds, Smith said. I had

way too many carbs in my diet,but I learned from Dr. Hen-dricks that its not so much adiet, as a way to live.

Smith is thrilled to havedeveloped a healthy relation-ship with food, and sticks bythe motto I eat to live, I dontlive to eat.

For people who are busy,they may travel a lot, thats noexcuse. Ive stuck to thehealthy eating lifestyle in Asia,

in Europe, I did it in DesMoines. It doesnt matter. Its

just learning to eat differently,she said.

A big bonus for Smith shecredits Dr. Hendricks for help-ing her fit into her stewardessuniform she wore decades ago,and lose more than 50 pounds.

Ive been there, I know howdifficult it is to lose weight. Theself esteem its an emotionalthing. Its not just about how

you look in your clothes,Smith said.

The Center for Weight Man-agement offers different plansfor different people, all predi-

cated on an initial interviewand evaluation.

The low-carb and low-calo-rie diets are typically shortterm, leading to the mainte-nance diet, which is all aboutbalance, never about depriva-tion.

Ed Hendricks noted the

many health risks associatedwith even minor excess weight.

Eighty-six percent ofpatients who walk in here areeither hypertensive or pre-hypertensive. There are greatercardiovascular risks associated

with excess weight, Ed Hen-dricks said. Theres a continu-ous spectrum of cardio risk,

beginning at being just twopounds overweight. It starts

with the very first pound ofexcess weight, in fact, he said.Its definitely a chronic illness,and you have to approach itfrom that direction.

Paula Hendricks agreed.Its about being able to keep

up with your children, or yourgrandchildren, she said. Myhusband is in his 70s. He takesno medication, eats 150 gramsof protein daily, and works outevery day. He expects to bearound until hes 120, shesaid.

The Henricks, along with

daughter, Mia, practice whatthey preach. Paula Hendricksinsists on preparing dinnernightly in their Granite Bayhome, and some familyfavorites are beef or chicken ona Caesar salad, with home-made dressing, and beef filetatop spinach greens.
