10 STEPS TO SUCCEED IN THE HEAT WHILE PLAYING TENNIS
1. Physically Prepare – The more physically fit the tennis player is, the less likely they will experience heat-related issues.
2. Drink, Drink, Drink – Drinking a combination of water and electrolyte enhanced beverages throughout the day
will help keep the tennis player well hydrated.
3. Don’t Rely on Thirst – Drink consistently, not just when thirsty. The body may be 2% dehydrated by the time thirst
is experienced.
4. Increase Salt Content in Food and Drink – As salt is the major electrolyte lost in sweat, it is essential to replace
this important electrolyte throughout the day. Foods that contain high salt content include vegetable juice, canned
soups, sports drinks and salted pretzels.
5. Use ice and other cooling Mechanisms – Keeping the body cool before, during and after practice or competition is
helpful in maintaining an appropriate body temperature. However, putting ice directly on muscles and joints during
play is not advised due to the possibility of muscle and joint stiffening.
6. Appropriate fuel before, during and after practice or match.
7. Clothing – It is best to choose light colored, breathable and loosely woven fabrics to help sweat evaporate easily.
8. Sunscreen – In addition to helping reduce the instances of skin cancer, which is important for long-term health,
applying liberal amounts of sunscreen will also prevent short-term sunburn that increases an athlete’s skin temperature
and may make them more susceptible to heat-related problems.
9. Acclimation – It is important to get the body adapted to a hot environment. Most occurrences of heat illness take
place in the first 2-3 days of training or competition in a hot and humid environment.
10. Reduce contact with direct sunlight when not playing. (Click for Source)

THE HEALTH
MAY GROUP BENEFITS OF YOGA
EX UPDATES
Yoga is a great way to work on your flexibility and strength. Just about everyone
can do it, too -- it’s not just for people who can touch their toes or want to
meditate. Some types of yoga are about relaxation. In others, you move more.
Most types focus on learning poses, called asanas. They also usually include
attention to breathing.
Yoga for Flexibility
Yoga poses work by stretching your muscles. They can help you move better
and feel less stiff or tired. At any level of yoga, you’ll probably start to notice
benefits soon. In one study, people improved their flexibility by up to 35% after
only 8 weeks of yoga.
Strike a Pose for Strength
Some styles of yoga, such as ashtanga and power yoga, are very physical.
Practicing one of these styles will help you improve muscle tone. But even
less vigorous styles of yoga, such as Iyengar or hatha, can provide strength and
endurance benefits. Many of the poses, such as downward dog, upward dog, and the plank pose, build upper-body
strength. The standing poses, especially if you hold them for several long breaths, build strength in your hamstrings,
quadriceps, and abs. Poses that strengthen the lower back include upward dog and the chair pose. When done right,
nearly all poses build core strength in the deep abdominal muscles.
Better Posture From Yoga
When you’re stronger and more flexible, your posture improves. Most standing and sitting poses develop core strength,
since you need your core muscles to support and maintain each pose. With a stronger core, you’re more likely to sit and
stand “tall.” Yoga also helps your body awareness. That helps you notice more quickly if you’re slouching or slumping,
so you can adjust your posture.
Breathing Benefits
Yoga usually involves paying attention to your breath, which can help you relax. It may also call for specific breathing
techniques. But yoga typically isn’t aerobic, like running or cycling, unless it’s an intense type of yoga.
Less Stress, More Calm
You may feel less stressed and more relaxed after doing some yoga. Some yoga styles use meditation techniques that
help calm the mind. Focusing on your breathing during yoga can do that, too.
Good for Your Heart
Yoga has long been known to lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate. A slower heart rate can benefit people with
high blood pressure or heart disease, and people who’ve had a stroke. Yoga has also been linked to lower cholesterol
and triglyceride levels, and better immune system function. (Click for Source)
See our Group Exercise Schedule on the next page for our days and times we offer Yoga both at the Club and on
Zoom. We can’t wait to see you there!

With the days warming up and summer right around the
corner, we couldn’t be more excited to show you one of
the many crafts our campers here at LGSRC Summer Camp
will get to create. Living so close to our beautiful beaches,
it wouldn’t feel right to do a summer craft without one

really make it your own.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– Liquid watercolors
– Watercolor paper
– Scissors
– Droppers or pipettes
– Paint brushes
– Black marker
– Colorful cupcake liners
– Glue
How to:
Step 1. Print out your free seahorse template. Cut it out
and trace around watercolor paper.
Step 2. Paint with liquid watercolors using droppers and
paintbrushes to spread your colors around.
Step 3. Cut out your seahorse after the paint is dry.
Step 4. For the cupcake liner tail, flatten each liner into a semicircle and again. Glue 3-4 along the edge of the
seahorse. Repeat and glue on the back of the first layer of liners.
Play with your beautiful seahorse!
