Please be aware that HealthQuest will be hosting it’s Indoor Triathlon on Sunday, March 20th. In order to carry out a safe and effective event, please plan your daily workout for the following:

On Sunday, March 20th the indoor pool will be closed from 7:15am to roughly 10:45am and select fitness center treadmills will be marked as reserved for the triathlon from 8am to roughly noon. All members, however, are welcomed to watch and cheer on our triathletes as they race toward the finish line.

Thank you for your cooperation as we welcome back this fun event to the club.

One of the most frequently neglected aspects of fitness, yet one of the easiest to do, is stretching. Many people who suffer from constant soreness or impaired mobility could benefit greatly from introducing a few simple stretches to their daily routine.

Broadly speaking, most stretches can be divided into two main categories: static stretching and dynamic stretching.

Benefits of stretching include restoring elasticity to tight muscles, increased range of motion and flexibility, and improved circulation. All of this contributes to a reduced chance of injury, and improved recovery time if you do get injured. Sedentary individuals can benefit from the loosening of overly tightened muscle groups. For example, people who spend much of their day sitting will often suffer from tight hip flexors, which in turn can lead to lower back problems. A few simple stretches can help open the hips up and restore them to “factory standard”. But even many highly active people are sometimes surprised by how much extra tension they are carrying until they try finally giving themselves a good stretch!
