Board of Directors PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Barbara Willis barb willis sympatico ca By the time you receive this issue of Club Life our Golf and Tennis Club Championships will have concluded and we will be anticipating the closing events We will also be preparing for the Bridge and Trap and Skeet opening events as well as the Hunt season Despite some wet weather earlier this summer we have maintained active golf and tennis programs The upside of all that rain was our golf course and grounds remained green and lush throughout the summer months Our Food and Beverage facilities have been busy with many weddings and special events We now look forward to the fall very much a time of transition at the Club As long as the weather cooperates we should still have several months of outdoor activities ahead as well as all the fall colours to enjoy From a financial perspective the Club is performing ahead of expectations year to date It is anticipated we will end the year in a favourable financial position Following each Board meeting the financial results and key performance indicators for the prior month are posted to our Member only section of the Club s website along with the summary Board minutes By reviewing these posts you are assured of remaining current on the matters that are before the Board and its committees and can stay informed by the year to date financial position and activity levels It is this time of year when our management team 3 begins the process of establishing operating and capital budgets for the coming year As outlined in my letter to Members issued in July next year is going to be uniquely challenging for our Club given the anticipated minimum wage legislation set out by the provincial government that will take effect in January 2018 In an effort to mitigate the significant impact on our operations the Finance and Audit Committee and senior managers are reviewing a range of strategies to control expenditures and enhance revenues Our overall goal is to meet Member expectations and preserve service levels to the greatest extent possible while living within our means The Board will have met in late August to confirm the strategic priorities for 2018 and this will serve to further inform the budget planning process Having renewed our strategic plan last year our committees and management team have focused this year on completing the 2017 strategic action plan Their recommendations are helping to shape our focus for the coming year It is anticipated that the Board will consider the Finance and Audit Committee final budget recommendation in November At that time the Board will also issue the Strategic Action Plan for 2018 to the Membership During my time as a member of the Board and more recently as President of the Club I am often asked how I am enjoying this experience As I have FALL 2017
expressed to many of you participating in the governance of the Club results in a much fuller understanding and appreciation of what it takes to ensure a successful private club It introduces you to Members you may not have otherwise met I have also learned more than I could have imagined about turf health Most importantly I have come to appreciate that our success as a Club could not be achieved without our highly dedicated and professional leadership team and staff I am continually amazed at the time and attention that Jon Nusink and each of our management team contribute to our Club as well as the commitment of all our staff to achieving an outstanding Membership experience We owe this entire team our full appreciation and thanks for an outstanding job that will be heading south in the coming months safe travels and hopefully we reconnect over the Christmas season Barbara Willis Club President As one might expect with an interested and engaged Membership there can be a diversity of opinion and ideas about what is best for the Club As a Board our commitment to you is to act in the best interests of the Membership and to balance various interests and perspectives Please be assured that each matter that comes before the Board is assessed debated and fully considered before any decision is made We will continue to communicate with our Members as matters of interest or relevance arise As we approach the fall season I look forward to seeing many of you at the Club To those of you 4 FALL 2017
CHANGES IN THE SEASON CHANGES IN THE CLUB Jon Nusink COO jnusink londonhuntclub com The summer has been a busy one so far Our numbers in all respects have surpassed last year s totals in rounds of golf guest rounds tennis games dining covers and fitness visits Financially we have had a solid year and are positioned well to be better than our budget anticipated at year end Membership levels are currently at or slightly above our cap and I have been pleased with the amount of Membership inquiries throughout the season The Board has decided to not institute a waitlist yet in order to insure we keep a full roster but this option will be closely looked at each month As always it is important to continue our efforts in keeping the Club attractive to new Members and strive to be in the position of having a waitlist to replace our natural attrition We are aware that traditionally at least 70 of our new Members that join the Club are or were members at another club Often these new Members are currently set up and paying dues at another club and are beginning to look at next year For this reason we offer a Call Option so they can begin the application process now for acceptance to Membership in the new year All we require is completion of the paper work and a 2500 deposit which we hold and put towards their entrance fee in the new year This helps us know who is joining in advance and prevents the new Member from being on the waitlist next year A win win So please continue to recommend the Club to your friends Simply make an introduction to me by email or phone and I will take it from there Recently the Non Resident Category was updated essentially allowing out of province Members to join the Club Their entrance fees are capped at 5000 and they have the same access to the Club as Non Residents If they decide to move to London in the future their entrance fee becomes a deposit on a Resident Shareholder s entrance fee London has seen an influx of people moving into town and settling here for retirement this allows them to become acquainted with the Club leading up to their move The Membership Committee with management have been studying ways to retain and attract Intermediates to the Club and will be presenting some ideas to the Board this fall to be implemented next year Since the last edition of Club Life Magazine we welcomed the Garrett family as new Members sponsored by Don Organ and John Watson Jeff is a lawyer at Dyer Brown Law Firm He and his wife Ainsley have two girls Jaylan 12 and Teegan 10 We also welcome Kelly Rodgers as a Non Resident Member sponsored by Dr David Forristal and Dr Paul Coates daughter of Art and Barbara Rodgers She is a Consultant with Rodgers Investment Consulting Please join me in welcoming our newest Members Early in my career someone told me that the most common issue for discussion at the committee and Board level is the topic of dress code It seems like such a trivial item and I wouldn t have believed it but nevertheless he was right The dress code seems to be constantly evolving to accommodate and reflect the trends of the day and the wants of our Members Two years ago it was agreed that men should not wear open toed shoes on Club property That has proven to be a rule that is unenforceable due to the sheer number of offences we have The House Committee spent a lot of time discussing the issue and determined that open toe shoes for men would be allowed in the relaxed areas of the Club including the Grill Room Terrace Oxford Room Chalets and common areas Men and women are now held to the same standard which does not allow plastic or rubber type shoes such as flip flops or shower shoes Refined sandals are acceptable We have been working hard this past year at developing a long term capital plan much more comprehensive than anything we have done before It will include our plan for facility improvements including parts of the Clubhouse Tennis Chalet interior and courts Trap Chalet Golf Course parking lots and driveways Almost every committee comes together in determining what is needed including the Golf Course Standards Committee 5 FALL 2017
with our impending Master Plan and of course the Finance and Audit Committee When complete this detailed plan will help us to be diligent in forecasting our capital needs and budget accordingly There will be some significant changes in our personnel in the coming months Wendy Shackelton will be expanding her career in the sales side of the golf business in early September Wendy has been serving the Club s Members for 15 seasons the past 12 as a full time Teaching Professional She has always been highly regarded for her golf and teaching abilities and she will be greatly missed Best of luck Wendy John Oosterwal our Facilities Maintenance Manager will be retiring in the late fall after 35 years on the job and Kim Lamont is also retiring at the end of September Kim has been our Events Coordinator for the past several years but started as a waitress way back when We will be holding a retirement reception for both of them on October 23rd that all Members and staff are invited to partake in and give them a good send off We wish them all the best of health and happiness as they begin their new life chapter HUNT CLUB BOOK The Club has contracted Richard Bain to photograph and publish a tabletop book on the Club This book which will be a hardcover 120 page book with over 100 colour photographs of our Club will be released in the spring in 2018 If you are interested in being an ambassador of the book corporately or personally please contact Brandie Cooper Communications Manager Each ambassador will receive a signed copy of the book as well as an acknowledgement of gratitude in the book The Club will be accepting 100 ambassadors for the book so if you are interested please enquire early to avoid disappointment In the last few months we were able to do immense upgrades to the gardens at the south front of the building as well as add gardens near the Pro Shop and outside the fitness room Thanks to David Moore and Mike Malleck for assisting the Club with this task We were also finally able to install two giant shade umbrellas on the Terrace This will definitely help with the heat out there and they have been getting great reviews so far The end of summer means Club Championship season As usual all divisions were well fought Tim will speak more to this but congratulations are in order for this year s champions some of whom have repeated many times IN MEMORIAM The Club is a great place to be in the fall A time we all look forward to with the colours scents and camaraderie I hope you enjoy everything the Club has to offer throughout the season L AW R ENC E K INL IN May 16 1939 June 12 2017 P ET ER M c C O NV IL L E 1952 June 3 2017 BO O M ER BO R S C H K E November 12 1945 July 24 2017 ED IT H W IL EY October 31 1928 August 8 2017 WAY NE A S S A F March 21 1943 August 26 2017 6 FALL 2017
WISHING YOU WELL IN YOUR RETIREMENT Brandie Cooper Communications Manager bcooper londonhuntclub com There are certain aspects of any place that make it what it is A taste that takes you back to a moment or pattern that reminds you of a fabric too familiar to place And sometimes that aspect is an individual so constant it is hard to imagine a time they weren t there To say that Kim Lamont Keating and John Oosterwal will be missed is an understatement Their combined contributions to the Club span over 75 years and while they will be missed by all of us they certainly deserve their retirement Kim s start date at the Club is recorded as March 8 1986 but her first real day on the job was 9 years earlier when at the age of 15 she helped with the Ladies Fall Fashion Show There was no interview for the job when she came out that day with her grandmother who worked in the banquet area at the time From there she started as a part time waitress in banquets before moving to the Snack Bar now known as the Glenmore and working full time following college Not long after the Snack Bar Supervisor was let go and the Bar Supervisor was tasked with overseeing both areas This was when Kim made the decision to stay and earn the role of Snack Bar Supervisor by assisting the Bar Supervisor Following the first round of renovations this property would see Kim became the Glenmore Supervisor and set her sights on the Food and Beverage Assistant role Luckily for Kim the Food and Beverage Assistant left the Club Unfortunately for Kim a co worker had also set their sights on the opportunity Then Banquet Manager Jon Nusink ended up sharing the job with Kim until he left for Sunningdale You have no idea how happy I was to see Jon go Kim recalls Finally Kim earned the role of Events Coordinator at the Club and this is where she stayed setting the stage for countless events and pushing the envelope to make each one memorable and unique John began at the Club on April 28 1982 after his dad who worked at the Children s Hospital across the road introduced him to John Bennett who hired him on the spot I was given the keys to the 4x4 with a water tank on the back and went out and watered transplanted trees for a month John remembers of his first day Since that spring day in 1982 John worked cutting greens for two years before moving into the Clubhouse as a janitor which eventually evolved into his current role of Facilities Manager Older buildings come with their share of character and complications and few know this as well as a Facilities Manager There has been much change to the property in the last 35 years all of which would have touched John on some level and it is certain the Clubhouse would not be what it is today without him Kim and John thank you for being part of the Club s journey Retirement will surely offer you many new opportunities which we know you will embrace wholeheartedly just as you did at the Club 7 FALL 2017
I ve been telling Members for years working at the Hunt Club is not just a job it is my home and I have a very big backyard and people keep coming over I have so many memories of the Club I guess my favourite would be the weddings It was always fun working with a bride and groom and seeing their day come together with everything that showed who they were as a couple that made their day unique As well every year at the Victorian Christmas party Wayne Dunn would have a table and so would Gord MacKenzie and both would want their table to be Table 1 So every year I would think of something other than a table number to distinguish their table to keep them both happy I always enjoyed staying back to see how they would react I also have a lot of memories of Earl Lyons He was always such a big supporter of the Club and staff I used to go to his house every couple weeks and he would give me CD s to play in the Glenmore as background music His wife had a hibiscus plant and gave me a cutting from it I still have the plant to this day and when I go to Florida each year my sister takes care of it for me Another Member I have fond memories of is Don Wellman He would always call on a Friday night for a reservation at the last minute We would be full but I would squeeze him in and tell him the table was booked at 7 00 p m He always made sure to be done eating by the 7 00 p m reservation or would move into the lounge to finish so I always made room for him When Mr Wellman passed away his daughter Mary gave me a set of silverware that belonged to him I still use it to this day and always remember the great memories I had with the Wellman family at the Club Kim Keating I ll never forget the first LPGA tournament when a logged in 140 hours in seven days The three LPGAs and the friendships I developed with staff and Members is what I will remember the most John Oosterwal Retirement Reception Join us at the Club on Monday October 23 from 5 00 p m to 9 00 p m for hors d oeuvres and chit bar Please register online 8 FALL 2017

A CHEF AND HIS TOOLS KNIVES Michael Stark Executive Chef mstark londonhuntclub com Arguably the most important piece of equipment in any kitchen is the knife There are diverse types of steel used in the construction of a knife and the grade of steel is based on the amount of carbon present in the mixture The higher the carbon in the steel the harder the blade and longer the knife edge will stay sharp Most knives are made from steel in the trade series known as the 400 The number 400 is the base number of this steel and 410 is what is used in a common budget knife This is a lower carbon steel 440 is a very high number and contains a high amount of carbon It is ridged with a lot of carbon and will create a ridged blade that holds an edge for an extended period The tradeoff is the steel is very brittle 420 is a great number for knives because the blade is very hard and tougher than the 440 What does this mean A knife with very high carbon content like Japanese knives or knives made with Damascus or folded steel creating distinct lines or swirls in the knife blade will hold a great edge but can chip on something as soft as a lemon seed A knife made from 410 steel on the other hand will need to be sharpened more often but will not chip if you are cutting through bones This can be confusing but understanding the hardness of steel carbon content is the single most crucial factor in choosing a knife that is right for you The choice being would you prefer to sharpen your knife once a month or every four months Also what the knife is being used for is dictated by the hardness of the steel Delicate work is best done by a high carbon steel blade but everyday use is best done by a lower carbon steel blade Caring for a knife is a large part of owning a sharp and honed knife The act of sharpening is done with the aid of a stone There are two types of stones an oil stone and a whetstone Oil stones are for use on European knives because the blades are usually thicker and heavier and oil stones are far more dense and hefty Whetstones are for delicate knives like Asian knives that tend to be thinner and lighter The oil stone is lubricated with mineral oil whereas the whetstone is lubricated with water The choice of using a whetstone or oil stone is not dictated based solely on the carbon content of the knife but also by the heft and thickness of the blade The use of the stone takes the old edge from the knife and gets rid of any pits or irregularity on the blade essentially resurfacing the blade This should be done on a regular basis and is dictated by usage Honing is the second part of sharping a knife It is the act of straightening the blade A steel or honing rod is used to re set or straighten the microscopic teeth that are on the blade of a knife Once the teeth are straight the knife blade will cut cleaner and there will be less resistance upon cutting Honing is not sharpening a knife they do not work interchangeably A knife should always be hand washed with a mild detergent or dish soap and dried well If a knife is not going to be used for an extended period of time the blade should be lightly oiled with mineral oil before storing Choosing the right knife for the job is the last thing to consider What job is the knife going to do Is it for everyday chopping and slicing or for filleting a fish There are certain knives designed for certain jobs like the French knife This iconic Chef knife is the one that everyone has at home and is meant for slicing chopping and dicing a good all around utility knife A boning knife on the other hand has a small sleek blade meant for boning meat The blade is small with a sharp tip for carving meat away from bone and getting in between connective tissue The serrated knife is meant for cutting breads and cakes The serrated blade ensures that less pressure is used on the product and it does not get squashed The average Chef will have about 12 knives in their kit for various tasks The home cook does not require this many three or four good knives are all that is needed including the French knife the boning knife the serrated knife and a good paring knife I am often asked what knives I would recommend for a home cook or a professional cook and I would recommend Japanese knives for their balance and easy maintenance 12 FALL 2017

GROUNDS REPORT Jayson Griffiths Golf Course Superintendent jgriffiths londonhuntclub com As I write this fall newsletter I am reminded of how slow the moment is but how fast the seasons change The proverbial plant physiological switch triggered by lower sun angles is indicated through the changing leaf colour of the native deciduous trees Much like changes in nature the changes to golf course maintenance practices have evolved over the past half millennia sharpening of scissors Early greens keepers may have been shepherds with the first greens mowers being sheep The burrows of rabbits were all too appealing and the shepherds staff became a club to which rocks were struck to pass the day Over time these grazed pastures developed and the professional management of links land rabbits included became a labor of love for the lucky few Rabbit burrows of the 1500 s have been replaced in modern golf with aluminum golf cups precisely placed to an exact and level depth allowing for a properly struck putt to find the hole Painting of the lip of the hole is a relatively recent addition one which brings a rather visual appeal albeit many white thumbs and the frequent The first real breakthrough came with the evolution of the mower The scythmen s job to cut the fescue greens required precision and skill at 14 mm Today many fairways and tees are cut well below this greens height of yesteryear Mowers Drs Charles Piper and Russell Oakley the founders of the modern U S G A Greens Section wrote in their landmark book Turf for Golf Courses in 1917 are the most essential element on every golf course This statement was true back then and it holds true today The game of golf originated in Scotland over 400 years ago along the coastal links land formed by natural forces of wind and sea These early natural settings much like today appealed to man s desire for open space recreation and social activities Golf is a game much like the coastal dunes intrinsically linked to external forces forces that have shaped its form over the centuries 1502 1800 s 1830 1910 1920 s 1962 1970 1990 s 2017 King James IV lifted ban on golf Greens scything in the 1800 s was only efficient in the early morning dew with teams of scythmen Edward Budding engineer Gloucester England adjusted a textile cloth mower used to remove nap to become 1st mechanical lawnmower Golden Age of Golf Bobby Jones brought national attention to the sport while Charles Worthington introduced the conventional reel mower Horse powered reel mowers gave way to the modern National Mower 5 Gang steel wheel powered Bulldozers forever changed the shaping of the course natural settings now manufactured Automated irrigation systems installed at Pine Valley and Augusta National Precision micro bed knives allow mowing heights to be adjusted below 3mm Robotic Cub Cadet RG3 mower introduced Indeed golf course management and equipment evolution driven by golfer expectation increased efficiencies and the superintendents desire to improve the properties they keep has come a long way Today our equipment nurtures the slopes and swales that sheep once grazed I for one miss the sheep but only if grazing on pastured land a Shephard s crook required 15 FALL 2017
GOLF COURSE MASTER PLAN Doug MacKenzie Chair Golf Course Standards and Conditioning Committee The London Hunt and Country Club s golf course has a rich history on this site since its original design by Robert Trent Jones in 1959 followed up with improvements by his son Rees Jones in 1999 The golf course is in need of a newer up to date and more efficient irrigation system In fact the useful life of the original existing one ended a number of years ago When designing a new irrigation system it is important to consider the future availability of water as well as long term plans for all the elements that the system will service including greens bunkers tees and fairways For this reason the Golf Course Standards and Conditioning Committee is charged with ensuring the development of a Golf Course Master Plan for its inclusion in the Club s overall long range plan The committee is currently in the process of engaging an ASGCA architect to collaborate with management and the Committee to develop the long range Master Plan for the golf course The Master Plan will not include major course re designs but rather provide a clear direction timeline and budget for the potential enhancement and ongoing updating of the existing course In other words a road map for the next 10 or more years that will ensure we remain one of the finest courses in the country It will include the following key parts prioritization of the goals and objectives visual master plan for areas of improvement phasing recommendations optional approaches and probable costs The initial set of goals that management and the committee have identified to be addressed in the future New irrigation system and possible holding pond Greens sustainability maintenance and playability Bunker conditions maintenance and playability Optimization of maintenance costs Addressing areas of poor drainage Adding tees to allow for less length The direction as set by the Board While we will always be a Jones designed course the Board determined that we should consider the most appropriate architect to facilitate our planning into the future This may well be Rees Jones but could certainly be other experienced architects especially those that can bring the technological capability to help us vision a preferred future We are encouraged to explore the options The Architect will be chosen on a number of factors to include qualifications and pedigree experience on re design of similar Trent Jones courses and proximity ability to be onsite and an active participant with course management Based on these factors management performed some preliminary review on several candidates including Cooke Coore Crenshaw Doak Fazio McBroom Devries Hurdzan and Andrews Management discussed their recommended candidates and the pros and cons of each with the committee The committee agreed to limit the number for the initial interviews to the incumbent Rees Jones Mike Hurdzan Columbus and Ian Andrews Brantford The candidates have completed preliminary onsite course reviews and the committee will have a question and answer meeting with the Architects in early September The committee plans to make a recommendation to the Board in late September regarding its selection of architect The drafting of the Master Plan will take place over the fall and winter Updates to this process will be communicated to the Members as they develop We are looking forward to having a clear and defined plan for the future of our great golf course 16 FALL 2017
THE RISE OF ORGANIC BEVERAGES Chris Carnegie Food and Beverage Manager ccarnegie londonhuntclub com Twenty years ago was a simpler time You went to your favorite bar restaurant or club and you ordered a beer wine or spirit without any added questions outside of the brand name Fast forward to 2017 and society has become extremely health conscious wanting to know exactly what we are consuming We want to know how much sugar is added how many calories we are taking in is it gluten free and finally is it organic Statistics show that in 2015 organic food and beverages generated annual sales of 3 5 billion dollars 46 of which went through mainstream supermarkets and that is just in Canada What does organic mean For something to be considered organic it must meet the strict production and labelling regulations of the Department of Agriculture In order for the Department of Agriculture to stamp a product as certified organic it must be produced almost entirely without additives like pesticides fertilizers dyes or GMO s Additionally 95 of the produced ingredients in the product must be organic with the exception of water and salt Formalities aside do organic beverages taste better and are they competitive in price While finding out if something tastes better is subjective beer experts have claimed that since organic hops are brighter and more aromatic it translates into a clean more flavourful ale Wine and spirits on the other hand have been said to be more negligible in differences to taste Price point for organic alcohol will be higher than conventional options for the same reason all other organic products are high they are simply not mass produced This doesn t slow consumerism though as people believe the higher price is worth it to be healthier Studies show that it is healthier to eat organic because of the lack of additives In terms of alcoholic beverages however research suggests there is no health benefit partially due to the fact that alcohol holds zero nutritional value Even though you get organic ingredients in beverages you may still get the same calories and sugar content as the conventional beverages While there may be no nutritional value to organic beverages there is one benefit that has been proven Since certain chemicals have been lifted from organic alcohol studies have shown that the sting of a hangover is less prevalent when going organic for the night This is something which most would agree is worth making the switch Whether it s for the flavour feeling better for believing it s healthier or to get the pesky carpenters out of your head the next morning I encourage you to try some of the organic options available including Mill Street Organic available at the Club and come to your own conclusions 17 FALL 2017

PA R T O N E T H E A R T O F THE JOURNEY Adam Baranowski Director of Tennis abaranowski londonhuntclub com I still remember that day in 1982 when my dad returned from the Soviet Union to our home in Wolomin Poland holding two funny looking wooden sticks with what looked like fishing string woven through like a basket They re tennis racquets he said We are going to play tennis together I vividly recall going to a local park where there was a paved basketball court That s where we played tennis together for the very first time A few days later we joined the local soccer club Huragan which means Hurricane which had three red clay courts surrounded by tall trees There wasn t much else and the clubhouse was about the size of my office but it is where I learned the game Whenever I am on court 10 here at the Club framed by so many tall trees I think of those courts Day after day rain or shine my dad would take my sister Ursula she was eight and me I was six to the club where we would spend most of the day When an advertisement came in the paper regarding a new tennis academy opening in Warsaw that was recruiting young talented players Ursula was the better tennis player To get into the program we had to go through various tests for coordination physical ability and tennis skills Ursula got in right away To my disappointment I did not But several months later after practicing hard I tried again This time they accepted me or should I say she was encouraged to focus her time on getting into a music school to study violin Each parent had a role in our development Dad pushed me in tennis and mom pushed Ursula in violin It s only now at this stage of my life where I really appreciate how much time and effort they invested in both of us That to me is priceless I also had no idea how big my dad s dreams and plans were One day we took a long bus trip to Venice I later learned that in order to cross the border without arousing suspicion the whole family couldn t go someone had to stay behind The only person who knew that dad and I would not coming back was my mom My parents were willing to be separated for a long time for the good of the family Being eight and unaware of what was happening I was excited to spend some time with my dad just the two of us It was going to be great Going to Venice was the kind of adventure every son wants with his dad We saw so many places and stayed in hotels When the week was over my dad sat me down and asked me a question I will never forget Do you want to go back to your mom or stay here with me It hadn t occurred to me we might stay longer that when we had left a week earlier we had left home for good Wiping tears from my eyes I said Stay with you dad stay with you And I did Three times a week mom or dad took us to the academy It was a 20km ride on the train each way and we didn t waste that time We started learning English Whenever dad took us he would encourage us to read English books and study words I had no idea why we were doing this all I knew was I didn t like it Years went by and eventually Ursula left tennis 22 FALL 2017
C R E AT I N G N E W H A B I T S FALL INTO FITNESS Tracey Machesney Fitness Professional tmachesney londonhuntclub com How many New Year s Eves have you spent sipping champagne and vowing to get more fit in the coming year And be honest with yourself how many times have you failed to follow through December 31st over a drink with friends is too late to set goals for this coming year Fall is a great time to set new goals because you re going to create good habits for the holiday season and the new year s winter months With the change of seasons comes a renewed time to rethink and plan so why not start now Here are some ways to start making the most of the fall season Who knows this year you might already be in great shape before the New Year s Eve party rolls around Take Advantage of the Weather It s the perfect temperature to be active outdoors Walking hiking and cycling are great ways to take in the crisp air and explore new trails and parks In case you missed it the Club added a bike rack just outside the Cart Room This allows Members to bike to the Club to play their round of golf or get a great warm up cardio workout before their strength workout in the Fitness Center Early fall is also a great time to head to the beach and enjoy a run or walk when it s quieter Or do a muscular strength endurance workout on the beach The sand adds an additional challenge when performing many exercises including jumps squats sprints and burpees In the event of an early snowfall cross country skiing or snow shoeing are also great options to enjoy the outdoors while exercising Be an Active TV Watcher With fall comes the premieres of your favourite shows so set yourself a goal such as Every time I watch my show I will perform body weight exercises Or Every time I watch my show I will jump on my indoor cycle bike or treadmill Also make sure to take advantage of the state of the art fitness equipment at the Club Each cardio piece has a built in TV so why not come to the Club to watch your favourite show each week to help 23 establish a routine Integrate Exercise Into Your Life Easy ways to integrate exercise into you day can be parking further away from your destination taking the stairs not the elevator and taking a walk during your lunch break But let s think outside the box go for a walk for your afternoon meeting with a co worker and brainstorm while you walk walk around the track field while watching your child s practice or pick your own apples rather than buying them at the store Commit to Activities You Enjoy Doing If you dread going to a fitness class at the gym then chances are you won t continue to go Find an activity that keeps you committed and motivated Rejuvenate Yourself Treat yourself not just with exercise but with activities that promote health and wellness Get a massage take a healthy cooking class practice meditation or join a book club These are all ways to balance feeling good emotionally physically spiritually and mentally Remember the 30 day Rule It takes approximately four weeks for the body to adapt to lifestyle changes that s why people who give up on their fitness programs tend to do so within the first 30 days So when the alarm goes off in the morning and it s darker and colder don t roll over and hit the snooze button try sticking with the program for a month After a month behavior patterns will have adapted and it will be much easier to stick to We are happy to hear the positive feedback regarding the new Matrix equipment we added in the summer and have added a Leg Press and a Leg Extension machine Book a fitness orientation this fall to learn how to use these and all the other fitness equipment the Fitness Centre has to offer We also offer Personal Training which can help jump start your routine motivate you to work hard and make you accountable Additionally please note the computer on the Fitness Center desk This is where you must signin when entering the Fitness Center Whether you are participating in a class working out on your own or with a Personal Trainer please sign in and don t hesitate to ask if you have questions FALL 2017
