The Martian

During a manned mission to Mars,

Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is
presumed dead after a fierce storm and
left behind by his crew.
But Watney survived and
is stranded and alone
on the hostile planet.
With only meager supplies, he draws upon his
ingenuity, wit and spirit
to subsist and find a way
to signal to Earth that he
is alive. Millions of miles
away, NASA and a team
work tirelessly to bring
the Martian home.

RESIDENT PROFILE

Bob and Bunny Bone

Bob and Bunny Bone have lived and traveled most
of the country, and Mexico, before settling in Arizona. Bunny is from western New York State. She
received her BA in fashion design in New York City,
then moved west to Los Angeles where she met and
married Bob in 1960.
Bob, a native Californian, was born September of
1929, on the cusp of the Great Depression, but
denies any connection between the two events.
Bob and Bunny raised three children, have three
grandchildren and are excited to have a great grandchild on the way.
As a consequence of Bobs vice-presidency of a
national company, they have lived in Florida and New
York. Tired of travelling and moving, they returned to
California where Bob left the corporate life to start his
own 14 office state-wide real estate company. Later
he became a personal and business coach.
Trying to retire and seeking some adventure, they

built a home in Mexico

and lived there for
three years. When
they returned to the
States, their search
for a retirement home
ended at Festival,
which they found has
the best of everything.
Bunny is an avid
bridge player and
active member of the
bridge club. Bob says,
its funny, she had never played a card game not
even Old Maid before we married. So, I taught her
how to play bridge and now she is so advanced I feel
like the beginner.
Bob was a founding member of the Festival Tennis
Club and says that he misses the game and the great
camaraderie enjoyed with fellow members.

Will This Work For Me?

Whats The Best Thing For...?

by Chuck Eier, M.S. C.S.C.S.,

Fitness/Wellness Director

One of the most common questions about exercise is

whether or not a particular exercise will accomplish
something or if its the best exercise to do. Most often,
the answer is that depends and the best one is the
one you will do.

We are constantly bombarded with advertisements and

articles for Turbo Jam, P90X, Insanity, the Ab Wheel, Ab
Rocket, etc. Yes, these work for some people in some
situations but not always. All of these things work by creating a stimulus to
which the body must respond. However, they may not work to help someone
reach their specific goals.

ZUMBA 7:15 am
Pilates 8:30 am (ballroom)
Flow Yoga 8:30 am
Aqua Aerobics 10:00 am
Axis 10:00 am
Fusion 10:40 am

Tuesdays

Cardio Burn 9:15 am

Jazzercise 11:45 am
Yoga 5:30 pm

If a goal is as simple as weight loss then just about anything might work.
If a goal is to strengthen and stabilize back muscles, increase, upper body
strength, or something more specific, then particular exercises might not be
effective. Or an exercise might be downright dangerous if performed when
someone has certain limitations.

Wednesdays
ZUMBA 7:15 am
Pilates 8:20 am (ballroom)
Flow Yoga 8:30 am
Interval Blast 9:45 am
Aqua Aerobics 10:00 am
HIIT 10:45 am
Gentle Fitness 11:45 am
Indoor Cycling 4:00 pm

One of the best recommendations for exercise is for it to be something you will do easily and consistently. If someone is afraid of
water, swimming wont work for them because they will never do
it. Likewise, if someone cant walk on a treadmill because of a
back injury, a treadmill wont be the right thing. And, the myth of
spot reduction must always be kept in mind. Exercising a
particular spot on the body wont reduce fat at that spot.

Thursdays
S.E.T. 8:00 am
Cardio Burn 9:15 am
Strength, Stretch, Balance 10:30 am
Jazzercise 11:45 am
Equipment Orientation 3:00 pm
Yoga 5:30 pm

Just because a neighbor or relative saw great results from

something doesnt make it perfect. It could be something you
hate to do or simply cant do.

Fridays
Flow Yoga 8:00 am
Pilates 8:00 am (ballroom)
ZUMBA 9:15 am
Aqua Aerobics 10:00 am
Axis 10:30 am
Gentle Fitness 11:45 m

When considering an exercise program, or an exercise to

accomplish something very specific, many things must be taken into account. What are the goals? What are the limitations? Why is this being
done? Will this exercise be something that can be easily done and fit into a
schedule? Taking all of these things into account can help ensure the
success of any exercise program.
And remember, exercise is only part of the puzzle. Good health, fitness
and weight loss are also achieved through appropriate eating habits. Like
exercise, diet is something for which goals and limitations should be taken
into account. When the right questions are asked, and all things taken into
account, exercise can help accomplish great things.
