Member Spotlight Shines on Champs

When the Rutland High Red Raiders won the 2005, Division I, Girls state basketball championship, some of the loudest cheers came from VS&F. That's because four members of this year's team, plus the team manager, are club members. [Champions: Kaleigh and Marya Sullivan, Laura Hassebroek and Tara Sullivan -Stephanie Cassella not pictured]

Congrats to the players Tara and Kaleigh Sullivan, Laura Hassebroek and Stephanie Casella. These Girls grew their strength, built their stamina and honed some of their basketball skills at VS&F. Congrats, too, to team manager, Mary Sullivan, one of VS&F's favorite members. Thanks, Laura, Tara, Kaleigh, Stephanie and Mary, for making Rutland and VS&F very Proud.

Waist Size Linked To Health Risks

Several new studies show significant correlations between waist size and a number of serious health problems including heart disease, diabetes, high blood

pressure and cholesterol levels. We have known for some time that obesity presents major health risks but this new research suggests that where you carry your weight may have special importance. Latest information suggests that health risks are increased when waist size is 36 inches or more for men and 34 inches or more for women. To learn more about the relationship between abdominal fat and health, got to Health Value of Physical Activity.

Surgeon General Recommends Strength Training
The Surgeon General says adults should strength train twice a week or more to help with energy, appearance, bone density balance and quality of life. At Vermont Sport & Fitness, two of our most popular ways to gain strength are weight lifting classes. One, called "Strength Training" is held six times a week and is perfect for beginners and seniors. It is easy to follow with no impact or complex moves. The other, Body Pump, held four times a week, is part of an international strengthening program that uses light barbells and high repetitions to build muscle endurance and lean muscle mass. Call us at (802) 775-9916 for more information.
