Welcome to the new quarterly newsletter for the EMH Center for
Health and Fitness. We hope that by combining both the Active
Circuit and Exhale day spa newsletters into one publication that we
can provide you with the best information that we have to offer about
events, classes, health and wellness information in a much more
consistent format.
This new format will be broken into section focusing on group fitness,
programs, personal training, Exhale – the Spa at EMH, weight
management, aquatics and the EMH Avon Health Campus. In the
future, look for a Q & A section with our staff and a section from
myself where I can touch on past surveys, let you know what is coming
in the near future or address any concerns that you may have.

THE WARM-UP
Looking
to the future…
As you may have noticed this past
spring and summer, we’ve gone
through some upgrades in our
facility. After more than 14 years
and approximately 77,000 hours
of use, it was finally time to retire
our box TV’s throughout the facility.
We upgraded by mounting two
47” HDTV’s in our fitness and café
areas of the facility, and four 55”
HDTV’s along our upstairs cardio
area. These TV’s are also wifi
capable and we are researching
certain fitness related capabilities
that we may be able to offer with
them as we move into 2014.
For your safety and security, nine
cameras have been mounted
around the exterior of the facility
monitoring all parking lots. While
these may be a deterrent against
car break-ins and may be useful to
provide information to the authorities should one occur, please
continue to take the precautions to
prevent these “crimes of opportunity”. Do not leave purses, bags,
briefcases, or electronics of any
kind visible in the interior of your
vehicle. Please continue to report
any suspicious activity to our staff
immediately.
Our locker rooms are next up in
terms of renovation. While a new
sink counter has already been
replaced in the ladies locker room,
we will be looking into renovating
the carpeted areas in both locker
rooms as well as the main traffic
area as you enter the facility to
head to the locker rooms. The
men’s sauna was recently
completely rebuilt. With these
upcoming projects, we plan on
minimal inconvenience or
downtime to the respective areas.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support which makes these
reinvestments in our fitness center possible.

Safe Spinning™
Cadence Ranges
For more than 10 years, our SpinningTM program
remains strong. The following are a few tips
regarding spinning cadence. To determine if
you are pedaling with too much or not enough
resistance, simply count the revolution of one leg
for 15 seconds and then multiply by four. Use the
following as your guideline.
80-110 RPM = Flat Road Cadence
If you are tempted to pedal faster than that, try
adding more resistance. Flat road does NOT
mean NO resistance!
60-80 RPM = Climbing Cadence
Simulating a safe, up hill effort.
60 RPM and below= UNSAFE CADENCE
You run the risk of putting too much stress on your
knee joints. Mad Dogg Athetics describes a key
indicator of too high resistance as, “ You need to
contort your body and throw your body weight into
pushing the pedals downward, while pulling on
the handlebars. If a steep hill is your goal, find
the highest amount of resistance you can maintain
while employing good form at 60 RPM.”
Spinning Cadence Advice From Our
Professional Instructors
“Too much resistance and you will find yourself
PUSHING DOWN on your pedals—unable to PULL
UP into a full circular rotation—working only on the
quads and forgetting about the hamstrings.”
— Katie Czech
“Pick em up and put em down!!!”
— Yvonne Craigo
“If you feel like you are moving side to side,
or needing your body to help with peddle stroke,
then you need to let off the resistance a bit.“
— Lindsay Verdova
“Even out your pedal stroke, think of lifting up with
your shoelaces to pedal more fluidly—not always
jamming down your heels.” — Julie Koziarz
“I like to preach a smooth flowing peddle stroke that
is interconnected, and not interrupted...clean and
fluid.” — Dana Orlando
“The thing that I try to get across to my classes is
that there should be a smoothness in your stroke
with no stopping or jerking motions for safety and to
be efficient in your workout.” — Linda Lavelle
“Push down, pull up. Try to pedal around the clock.”
— Jackie Stillwagon
“Try to balance out your pedal stroke, ask yourself if
you are pushing with one leg more than another?”
Do not let your feet bounce from the floor, bring your
pedal stroke around.” —Maggie Langley

gravity. Resistance can be adjusted from 5% to 100% of your body weight by changing
the position and incline of your body. Try a ripping workout without the use of weights for
dynamic core stability, endurance, and strength.

a total body TRX Body Blast. Adam
believes the key to success in his
classes is a fun, encouraging, and
supporting environment.
“TRX is unlike any other workout I have
ever tried. It hits parts of the body I didn’t
even know could be sore! It allows you
to engage multiple muscle groups at
the same time, while using your core
to stabilize each position. Since having
my two kids, I have not been able to
find an ab workout that has given me
noticeable results, or more importantly,
that I actually enjoyed. Every week that
I am in TRX I feel my core get a little
stronger, and I look forward to each
class. I love the day after TRX when I can
feel that I have had a great workout!”

Trends
In the summer, you definitely want to lighten up from a creamy
foundation to a tinted moisturizer. Try one that’s mineral-based, like
jane iredale Dream Tint—it won’t clog pores and it has SPF to give you
even more protection on top of your regular sunscreen.
There’s no better time to let your natural beauty shine through than
the fresh spring and summer months. With the aid of a tinted moisturizer
to achieve your desired finish, you’re ready to go.
“It just makes sense that a makeup primer should fill in wrinkles and cover over pores so that foundation either liquid or
powder won’t accentuate them. I have tried every primer available and finally when I tried smooth affair by Jane Iredale I
got the results I have been looking for. From beginning to end this primer is amazing. It blends with the tinted liquids and
powders to give an air-brushed look. How can you beat all that! Try It!” —Pricilla W.

Health Campus Corner
Did you know that outpatient Physical Therapy services are
offered onsite in the Medical building wing?
At the EMH Avon Rehab Services
Department, we offer one-on-one
treatment for a variety of orthopedic,
neurological, and general medical
conditions. We have highly skilled
staff including six physical therapists and three physical therapy
assistants. Two physical therapists
in the office have obtained manual
physical therapy certification and
an additional therapist completed
a Fellowship in Orthopedic Manual
Physical Therapy through the
American Academy of Orthopedic
Manual Therapy. At the EMH Avon
Rehab Department office, we
combine a hands-on approach to
relieve pain and increase range of
motion with therapeutic exercise
to increase strength and restore
motion to the body.
Aquatic Therapy
In addition to traditional land
therapy, we also offer aquatic
therapy. The 20’ x 20’ therapeutic
pool is kept at approximately 92
degrees and the depth of the pool
is 2 ½ to 4 feet. The pool area is
wheelchair accessible and there
is an assisted locker room for
patients who are unable to independently prepare themselves
for therapy. Pool entry is made
convenient by a ramp or a chair
lift for those who are unable to
ambulate or weight bear. Many
people can benefit from water
therapy including those with
musculoskeletal disorders, arthritis,
and fragile individuals that cannot
tolerate exercise on land.
Work Conditioning
Another specialized service that
we offer is work conditioning. Work
conditioning is an individualized,
work–oriented program designed
to restore a client’s strength,
endurance, movement and
flexibility. The objective of the
work-conditioning program is to
restore the client’s function to
enable a safe return to work. Work
conditioning provides a transition
between standard physical therapy
and return to work. Conditioning
tasks are graded to advance the
biomechanical, neuromuscular,
and cardiovascular functions of
the client in conjunction with
participating in structured and
graded job simulation or actual
work tasks.
If you are looking for a
physical therapy office that
offers expert care and
exceptional caring, please
contact the EMH Avon Rehab
Department at 440.988.6890.
We look forward to hearing
from you soon!

The EMH Center for Health &
Fitness’ Enlighten program are
experiencing dramatic weight
loss—without surgery.

by LauraBriedis
A
Contributing Writer
s a registered nurse, Heather
spends most of her days taking
care of patients. But she also
knows she needs to make time
for her own health and well-
being.
“When you are a mom of four and work
full time, you don’t need to find excuses not
to exercise because you really are busy,” she
comments.
With the help of the Enlighten weight loss
program at The EMH Center for Health &
Fitness, this Avon resident was able to lose
weight and, more importantly, keep it off.
“I
wanted
a
medical
perspective as
part of a weight
loss program,”
says Heather,
who lost 70
pounds. “I also
needed to be
held accountable and have someone to talk
to about any concerns, whether related to the
foods I eat or how to best work out.”
Some people who enroll in the program
don’t have a lot of pounds to shed but
instead need help maintaining a healthy
weight. Rich, a Westlake resident who is
a microbiology lab coordinator and a Boy
Scout leader, lost 30 pounds in six months
and continues to work on maintaining his
weight. “The Enlighten program looks at the
whole person and gives you the emotional
support to lose weight and keep it off, even
after you finish the six-month program,”
Rich comments. “Plus, you have fun while
doing it.”

“Enlighten is unique in that it addresses
both fitness and nutrition,” says Susan Burger,
Enlighten coordinator. “Other programs only
address part of the equation.”
The Enlighten integrated weight
management program emphasizes lifestyle
changes that support long-term maintenance
of a healthy weight. “Most people can
lose weight, but keeping it off is the hard
part,” Susan comments. “That’s why we
have a support team in place to ensure you
succeed.”
The program’s multi-disciplinary team is
made up of a nurse practitioner, a certified
health educator, a registered dietician, a
fitness specialist, and a behavior modification
specialist who can assist you in developing a
lifelong plan of healthy eating and exercise.
“Because we are a medically-based
fitness center with our affiliation with EMH
Healthcare, we can offer clinical expertise,”
says nurse practitioner Kris Komosa. “We
give participants the medical guidance they
need to lose weight in a safe and healthful
way.”
“It is rewarding to see how Enlighten
has positively impacted so many lives,” she
comments. “I have seen blood pressure,
cholesterol and blood sugar numbers drop to
healthier levels.”
In addition to a nurse’s expertise, a
registered dietician focuses on nutrition.
“It is not a diet but a lifestyle change,” says
dietician Kim Horvath. “We work with each
individual to help him or her make better
choices. We generally suggest for women to
keep calorie intake between 1,200 and 1,500
and for men between 1,800 and 2,000. But
we don’t like to emphasize just numbers.
Instead, we teach people about portion sizes
and healthy choices.”
In addition to consulting with a nurse
Heather lost 70 pounds after enrolling in the Enlighten weight loss program
last year.
and nutritionist, members meet twice a
week for group personal training and meet
every Tuesday evening with the behavioral
modification specialist and the entire support
group.
“The Enlighten program really does
change your life,” says Heather. “Working
out and eating right has become more of a
habit than something I have to constantly
remind myself to do. Now when I go for
walks, I do so with a purpose. I keep an
intentional pace and really enjoy it. I also
keep my hands out of the candy jar and keep
driving right past the fast food places that
seem to sabotage us all.”
Perhaps one of the best parts of the weight
loss program for Heather is that it sets a
good example for her young children, who
often work out at home by her side.
“I wear a bracelet with the word ‘relentless’
engraved on it as a constant reminder that I
am doing it for my children,” she comments.
“I want to be healthy so I can take better care
of them.”

To Swim or Not to Swim!
(Pool Policy for Inclement Weather)
There have been many discussions
over the years concerning lightning
and indoor swimming pools. The
National Lightning Safety Institute
offers guidelines to follow for
indoor and outdoor swimming
pools during severe weather.
Lightning is unpredictable and
arbitrary. It can strike from the
front of a weather system, from
the middle, and from the end of
a weather system. In most cases,
it follows the path of least resistance…through the air and through
the ground. We do know what
attracts lightning – metal, water,
electrical/telephone wiring, or very
tall objects. In our situation, we
have approximately 109,000 gallons
of water under a metal roof, plus
a very large retention pond within
approximately 30 yards of the
pools. Underground around the
pool area, there are water pipes,
gas lines, electrical and telephone
wires. Even though the facility is
“grounded”, what will stop a close
lightning strike from traveling
through any of these mediums in
the ground to the main pump room,
travel through the filtration system,
and follow the path of the water to
the pool? It sounds like a stretch,
but it is plausible.
For the safety of our staff,
members and guests, the pool
is cleared when lightning strikes
within 2 miles of the facility,
and is then reopened 10 minutes
after the last lightning strike
has occurred within 2 miles
of the facility.
When lightning is seen, thunder
will follow. And in most cases,
when thunder is heard, lightning
has occurred. To judge the distance
of severe weather, there is what is
known as the Flash/Bang method.
Simply count the number of
seconds between seeing lightning
and hearing the thunder. Each 5
seconds represents approximately
one mile.
For the safety of our staff,
members and guests, the pool
is cleared when lightning strikes
within 2 miles of the facility, and
is then reopened 10 minutes after
the last lightning strike has occurred within 2 miles of the facility.
NLSI recommends suspending
activity for outdoor pools when
lightning occurs within 5-8 miles,
and remaining closed until 30
minutes after the last of the
thunder is heard.
We prefer not taking the chance
for anyone to become a statistic for
an indoor pool/lightning incident.
For your safety, we believe our
policy errs to the side of caution,
and not negligence.
