the wilderness. From developing real estate in the Dallas metroplex to hunting Grizzly Bear in Siberia with a bow; from serving as president or senior officer of commercial real estate corporations to guiding big game hunters in the Weminuche Wilderness of southwest Colorado, it seems Jake, an Eagle Scout, is always looking for his next adventure. He has a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas A & M and is an author and motivational speaker. He played Sheriff Jimmy in a movie called After Sundown, and has appeared on numerous television shows including The Tonight Show with David Letterman and appeared in numerous television commercials. He is best known, however, for being the most popular (and oldest) contestant on the Peoples Choice award winning television show Survivor Thailand. Jake brought me to Arizona kicking and screaming, said Jeni. I told him There is nothing out there but rocks and snakes. Boy was I wrong. The resort atmosphere and genuine people won me over. I love it here!

Monday

Jeni Billingsley and her husband Jake recently moved to Sun City Festival from their home in Hideaway, Texas. Jeni, with a Masters Degree in Counseling, retired from her position as a counselor and play therapist from Legal Services of North Texas. She became a counselor hoping to talk some sense into her adventuresome husband Jake. Jeni was born in San Antonio, went to high school in Killeen, and lived in such interesting places as Japan while growing up in a military family. Jake and Jeni have five children and nine grand children. Jake is as comfortable in boardrooms of banks and large corporations as he is in

The Myths Of Exercise

We are constantly bombarded with information about the best way to exercise. How do we know what is fact and what is fiction? Continue reading and have some of the myths busted.
by Chuck Eier, M.S. C.S.C.S., Fitness/Wellness Director

MUSCLE TURNS INTO FAT Muscle and fat are completely different types of tissue and have totally different functions. One type of tissue cannot turn into another type. When consistent exercise stops, muscle tissue will atrophy (get smaller in size). Calorie burning decreases and fat storage increases causing fat cells to get larger. STRETCH PRIOR TO EXERCISE Traditionally, people believed stretching functioned as a warm-up and prevented injuries. Recent research published in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine showed stretching prior to exercise did not prevent injury. Stretching is most beneficial and safest when done after five to ten minutes of light activity (warm up) AND after exercise is completed. LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS WILL MAKE WOMEN GET BULKY Women dont have enough of the muscle-building hormone testosterone to get bulky. Regular strength straining is still very important to maintain age-related strength and muscle loss and to maintain bone density. In addition, strength training helps boost metabolism and improve the hormonal profile. CALORIE READOUT ON EQUIPMENT IS ACCURATE Research has shown that calorie burn listed on some exercise equipment can be off by as much as 70 percent. Treadmills and stationary bikes tend to have more accurate calorie readouts than elliptical machines and other equipment. To get the most accurate reading for a particular machine, enter age, weight and gender. ABDOMINAL EXERCISES REDUCE ABDOMINAL FAT This is the myth of spot reduction. This applies not only to the bodys abdominal region it applies to every part of the body. Location from which fat is burned cannot be controlled. Stored body fat is burned only by creating a deficit of caloric intake vs. caloric burn. Many times, fitness information we get seems too good to be true. Other times, information is dated and recent research has refuted previous beliefs. Feel free to stop by the office with questions you may have about any fitness information.
