The Fourth of July picnic gathered friends and family on a sunny summer’s day. Everyone sat around eating and talking while the kids played, using their bodies and maybe even their brains. Cooling off meant sitting in the shade or a dipping into a nearby body of water. The menu was simple: Fried chicken, bowls of potato salad and coleslaw, corn on the cob, layer cake and watermelon. Lemonade in jelly jars, handcranked ice cream packed in rock salt. All of it was set out on picnic tables for the day in the shade. Everything was homemade; everyone invited ate it unless someone’s mother would let her get away with skipping the vegetables; no one died. OK, it wasn’t all idyllic. The women undoubtedly did 100 percent of the hard work, without any mod cons, and a kid whose leg got infected from a cut couldn’t be saved with antibiotics. Just because children couldn’t disappear into the virtual world of electronic fantasy and the food chain hadn’t been polluted yet didn’t mean life was all roses. The early 20th century had a long list of social ills that more than matches our own. Still. I’d kinda love to invite a bunch of people over and make that menu. For starters, though, my own kids (vegetarian; gluten-free;) wouldn’t eat anything. And some of my dearest friends have serious dietary restrictions (gluten, lactose). Someone would be sure to be in the middle of a juice cleanse. And then there’s the need to address the disparate needs of the vegan, Paleo-following, no-whitefood-consuming, nut-allergic. Let’s take the fried chicken, for starters, circa 2014. First of all, it’s chicken, an animal, and it was raised not in Grandma’s backyard coop but in inhumane circumstances, crammed into disease-ridden pens and fed a combination of bad food, chemicals and antibiotics. Frying it (frying! No one eats fried food anymore) involves dredging it in an egg coating (see chicken, above) and then in white flour: made of wheat, doused with pesticides in the field, and stripped of all nutrients in production. If you can get past all of that, the old-timey cooking fat was lard. Also an animal product, this one is pure trans-fat; it practically defines the category. OK, forget the fried chicken. Let’s try the vegetables. Potato salad involves potatoes. Potatoes are carbs. Carbs are bad. Cross this item off the menu. Coleslaw: Much better.

Atop Scargo Hill, the highest point in the mid-Cape, the tower is a free alternative to the Pilgrim Monument in P-Town, with fewer steps (and fewer tourists). A metal spiral staircase leads to the viewing area. The 30-foot-high lookout is the third to be built on the hill by the Tobey family, after the first two wooden towers were destroyed in 1874 and 1900. The current tower, made of stone, has remained unscathed since 1901. The tower was given to the town of Dennis in 1929 by the Tobeys in honor of their ancestors who settled in Dennis in 1678.

An estimated 16.5 million people tuned in to ESPN to watch the Americans fall, 2-1, to Belgium in overtime on Tuesday. That number fell just short of the record 18.2 million who watched the U.S. play Portugal on June 22. While the Portugal game was played on a Sunday, the 4 p.m. weekday start against Belgium helped break another record with 3.5 million people watching online at WatchESPN. For Martyn Bowden, who founded the Sutton-based Fuller Hamlets soccer club in 1968, it was the culmination of a life’s work of promoting his sport. “Seeing those fans in the center of cities (at viewing parties) really makes me feel — I could have had no idea that this sort of thing was going to happen,” Bowden said. “It took nearly 50 years, but it’s been miraculous in its growth.” Worcester was one of those cities, drawing a respectable crowd to a public viewing party at City Hall Plaza for the U.S.-Belgium match. In Boston, Mayor Marty Walsh hosted a watch party for the U.S.-Germany game on June 26. After attracting a crowd estimated to be several thousand strong, Walsh held another viewing party for the Belgium match — getting help for both events from the New England Revolution. Chicago, the headquarters of the U.S. Soccer Federation, is believed to have held the largest watch party with the Chicago Tribune reporting 28,000 people flocking to Soldier Field on Tuesday. “I think the enthusiasm for this World Cup has exceeded any other the U.S. has been a part of, with the possible exception of 1994 (held in the United States),” said Revolution general manager Mike Burns, a Marlboro native and a former national team player. Burns was a member of the U.S. team for the 1994 World Cup, which still holds the record for attendance with the country’s largest football stadiums often selling out with an average of nearly 70,000 watching each match. Burns said the U.S. team’s competitiveness, boosted by favorable start times, resulted in must-see TV. “The drama of the games, and I think certainly the times of the games has helped,” said Burns, who pointed out that the four World Cups between 1994 and 2014 took place in France, South Korea/Japan, Germany and South Africa, which included game times that were often inconvenient for the American audience. But is soccer merely a quadrennial phenomenon or are the ever-increasing viewing numbers an indicator of the sport’s continued domestic growth? Jason Dewhurst, a British transplant and the founder of the highly touted FC Stars of Massachusetts soccer club, feels it’s the latter. “From when I first moved World Cup Get the score telegram.com/sports Sport’s growth is ‘miraculous’ C SECTION Success boosts soccer in US Fuller RV Sales & Rentals Baseball . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Softball . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 Boys’ lacrosse . . . . . . . .10 Girls’ lacrosse . . . . . . . . 12 Boys’ track. . . . . . . . . . . 14 Girls’ track . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Girls’ golf . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 Boys’ tennis . . . . . . . . . . 19 Girls’ tennis . . . . . . . . . . 20 Volleyball . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 132SturbridgeRd.

More Muscle Stronger Bones Less Time Exercising! A lot of Health and Fitness facilities talk a good talk about their equipment, staff and flooring but at Abstract, our mission is for YOU to Live Stronger, Longer! It’s not about us-It’s about you!! Save Time- Live Stronger- Look Younger - No Contracts- Private Training. So lets talk a little about what Health and Fitness benefits a new client should expect: Fat Loss As you will see below, we are losing muscle every year of life after the age of 25. We are becoming fatter as people and a nation. According to the newest statistics over 81% of America is overweight(over fat). This is not a good thing. At Abstract we help our clients lose as much as 22 lbs. of fat in only 8 weeks! This is a huge change when you understand that 10 lbs. of fat is the size of a basketball. Through proper exercise, diet, motivation and accountability our clients lose on average 2 1/2 pounds of fat per week with only two 15 minute workouts. This is a total training time of just four hours over two months. When looking for changes in the body remember, it’s not about how much exercise, it’s about good exercise!! (Please see our Abstract Challenge page for latest winner!) New Lean Muscle As we age we lose muscle,in fact, according to research, we lose it at a rate of 1/2 a pound a year. That is a loss of 5 lbs. of lean muscle per decade. This loss of muscle drops our metabolic rate by 7% every 10 years. Ever wonder why you seem to eat the same or less as you did when you were 25 but the fat still comes on? What is the answer to this old problem? Less calories burnt because we have less lean muscle. By the way, this is a factor of disuse not aging. Our clients will see a change in their bodies very quickly. In fact, usually within 6-8 weeks(if the client comes in with the right attitude)most will see an increase of 3 lbs. of lean muscle. New muscle will make a very dramatic change in not only how they feel but also on their metabolism. This new muscle will equate to an increase of around 100-130 more calories burnt at rest and a reversal of years of loss! More muscle will allow our client to lose fat faster and keep it off. Stronger Bones People after the age of 25-30 begin to lose bone at a rate of 1% year. In just 10 years we will have lost 10% of our bone density. Most of us have heard about this condition, it has become almost epidemic, this is called Osteoporosis. Thats the bad news. The good news is that through proper exercise(Abstract strength training progam) people like you can stop and reverse this bone loss! Not only will their muscles get stronger but their bones will also. Some of our clients have seen an increase in bone density by as much as 16% in less than a year! This new bone helps our clients to take control of a vital part of their aging process- helping them live Younger and Stronger. More Time! Time is of great importance to all of us. Life is going at an all time fast pace. When looking at an exercise program how many of us have 3-5 hours a week to devote to getting in better shape? If you are typical, your lucky to just stay ahead of what keeps being heaped upon you. At Abstract Bodyworks we save you time. How would a weekly program of only 30 minutes fit into your busy life? How will an exercise program designed for you to achieve “3 times the results in 1/10th the time” affect the health goals you have set for yourself? Understand that this program will build strength, new bones, fight Type II diabetes and allow you to save your important extra time for other parts of your life!! As a matter of fact, many of our experienced clients train only 15 minutes a week. Now that is a great Return On Investment!

What our clients are saying... “I am 59 years old, and I have been training at Abstract Bodyworks for about 4 months. During this time, my two weekly workouts took me less than 30 minutes but they really changed my life. Infact, I am much leaner and stronger than I was at 30! I can’t believe that I could make such a difference in my health and fitness in so little time.I have to say the Abstract program probably saved my life!” John A. “I am 39 years old and I weighed 275 lbs. and diets had never worked for me. I certainly did not believe that working out for only 15 minutes twice a week and cutting my calories was going to work either. However to my surprise’ “8 weeks” later on after completing the Abstract Fat loss Challenge, I had lost over 30 lbs of fat! The great thing is not only am I leaner, but I am much stronger too.” Todd B. “I want to tell you about the great things that have happened to me by working out at Abstract. Since I have been doing the Abstract exercise program I am not losing ground i.e muscle loss, bone loss etc. I am growing stronger, not weaker and can still do all the things I could do in my 20’s. I have more muscle, energy and I feel younger. You can’t beat that for only 15 minutes a week! The team at Abstract is now like part of my family!” Debra S. T SEP 6 25-2 MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
