October 2016
October has arrived and that can only mean one
thing……Squash Season Has Officially Begun! It
is so great to see everyone back from their
summer break and also to see the court bookings
getting busier everyday. All of the squash leagues
and programs will be in full swing by week’s end.
I am very happy to announce a collaboration with
the MAA to put together an evening of
competitive squash, (singles and doubles) pitting
our finest players against theirs. We would
ultimately like to have a bi-annual event, one
home and one away, to test our skills against
another great club. We are looking at hosting this
event on October 29th so please look out for
more information that will be coming soon.

By far the biggest reason people go to the gym or
exercise is because they want to lose weight. But
what if I told you that surprisingly, exercise is not
the most ideal way to burn fat? The most
important thing you can do to start shedding
those pounds is not by hitting the treadmill every
day but rather take a peek into your kitchen.
RULE #1: Cut out what you KNOW is bad for
you Stop using excuses like “Everything in
moderation!” or “I deserve this treat.” or “Ugh I
had such a bad day”. If you keep eating junk
food, snacks, and low-quality meals, don’t expect
to achieve your fat loss goals. RULE #2: Cut out
what you THINK is good for you, but actually
ISN’T With all the mixed messages we get from
the media, it’s difficult to know what’s healthy and
what’s not. Several foods, like whole grain
cereals, rice cakes, granola bars, fruit smoothies
and juices are advertised as being healthy, but
often contain way too much sugar. Get in the
habit of reading the nutritional information on the
foods you buy. A good rule of thumb when
grocery shopping is to avoid anything with more
than 15g of sugar per serving Or better yet, stick
to whole foods which don’t even have a nutritional
label on them! RULE #3: Cut WHEAT, MILK, and
FRUIT JUICES These foods will really push up
your blood sugar levels, which in turn will
increase your insulin levels. This is not something
you want if you are trying to become a fat-burning
machine, since your body will be taking the
energy from these caloric heavy foods and
storing them as fat. The truth is that you need to
keep your insulin levels low if you want to burn
fat, so avoid these foods if you can.
