Be Summer Ready with LSF’s Boxing Boot Camp!
Summer is here; are you ready for it? If you’re looking for some added intensity for your workouts, boxing boot camp is the answer. Join us every Tuesday evening at 5:30pm near the basketball court. $45 gets you a 60-minute workout complete with 1-1 boxing, ViPR logs, kettle bells, and other modalities, all in a small-group environment for extra focus and attention to form. Use our InBody scale to track progress and see real results. Space is limited, so reach out to NickS@LakeshoreSF.com  today!

 

Add Your Children on to Your Account Today!
As the Lakeshore East Community is changing so are our offerings here at LSF.  Your children now have all day access on weekends, and we are offering children’s programming. If your child is under 3 they are considered a part of your membership or if you already have unlimited childcare on your account. If your child is between 3 -17 you can now add them to your account rather than paying $10 per visit.  Please contact icmembership@lakeshoresf.com for details.

 

Elbow Pain, Could the Shoulder be to Blame?

We see many people with lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow. Lateral epicondylitis is pain over the outside of the elbow where many of the forearm muscles attach. However, not just tennis players have tennis elbow. Anyone can develop it, and it is common in people who spend a lot of time at the computer or perform lots of gripping during their day.

 

Many people who come to us for lateral epicondylitis have unsuccessfully tried exercises on their own that focus on the wrist and elbow, but it is important to look at the whole arm. Most specifically, the muscles that control shoulder blade position should be considered, such as the lower trapezius and serratus anterior. These muscles are crucial when treating the elbow as the position of the whole arm is determined by the orientation of the shoulder blade.

 

For exercises to perform, look at Lakeshore Physical Therapy’s blog post on tennis elbow: http://lakeshore-pt.blogspot.com  or click on our Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lakeshorephysicaltherapy/

 

Why Core Matters?

The musculature of your core, in a sense, is what connects your lower and upper body. Every step or motion you make essentially moves through your core or originates from it, whether it be picking up your child off the floor or swinging your racket at a tennis ball. Thus, a weak or strong core can affect the way you feel, move, or function.

 

Try these Core strengthening exercises for yourself!

  • Plank Variations
  • Reverse Crunches
  • Deadbugs
  • Bicycles: Seated or Lying
  • Supermans!

For more information, or a 1 on 1 demonstration, email PT360@Lakeshoresf.com.

Guests in General:

As a reminder, if you have not done so already, please stop by the membership office and pick up your guest passes. Each membership receives 5 passes per year beginning in June of each year.   You must have them physically present when bringing in a guest to use the club.  Do you have someone interested in membership?  Contact Membership@LakeshoreSF.com to set up a trial and the pass is on us!  Some restrictions apply.  Guests are able to visit the club no more than 5 times per year or membership is required.

 

Children Must be Supervised

LSF is the best place around for kids and families!   We love to be the place for children to not only take part in our great programs, but also be a place for them to exercise their independence.  However, it is important to note that children under high school aged must be in a supervised program with LSF.  Club 48 (4th-8th Graders with the Club 48 Membership) are only allowed to be in the club alone during Club 48 hours.  All other children must be with a parent and supervised.  Please talk with your children about behavior and etiquette as to not disturb other members trying to enjoy their experience.

All Things Strings

 

Tip for Tennis Tuesday

When serving, for the toss, think in terms of release of the ball, rather than tossing the ball. This will limit the variable in the flight line of the toss.

 

The LSF Racquet Sports Department Welcomes Coach Max McDulin!

Max McDulin has been a tennis coach for over five years, and has played the game since he could walk. He started as a coach at Windemere Racquet & Swim Club in his hometown of Houston, Texas and then spent time as the Director of Tennis at New London Hills Swim, Tennis & Dive Club in Hamilton, Ohio, and most recently was a Tennis and Pickleball Pro at Allegheny Country Club in Pittsburgh.

Max believes in a positive and energetic learning environment, and brings both that positive attitude and high energy to the court every day. He played tennis at Ohio University where he studied Broadcast Journalism and Sports Administration.

CITA Prep Starts Now!

“I’ve been a member of Lakeshore Sport & Fitness for over six months and applaud the desk, owner, staff, instructors and cleaning staff that welcome all members.  I sincerely appreciate the hands-on customized assistance each instructor gives to students during the class.  No matter what your level, Joanna, Melissa, Brendan, Tatiana, TonE and all the instructors, guide you according to your level of ability. This is the first place in over ten years of paying for health clubs where I feel there’s exercise formats for everyone with down-to-earth staff and instructors.  From barre class and weight training to yoga to pool to outdoor activities to wall climbing, there’s all types of exercise that fit your needs.  After six months of going to Lakeshore for just 3-days a week, I have a great new energy level.  I highly recommend Lakeshore Sport & Fitness!” – Laurie O.

Physical Therapy for Vertigo!
Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or that the room is moving around you. There are a number of conditions that can lead to vertigo; inner ear disorders, migraines, tumors, head injuries or stroke. In most cases, the cause of vertigo involves the inner ear, part of the vestibular system (your body’s balance system). It uses the organs of your inner ear to relate to your brain where your head and body are in space to keep your eyes focused and body stable.  One of the most common causes of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is an inner ear disorder that produces short periods of spinning when your head is in a certain position. BPPV occurs when tiny crystals in your ear are dislodged and move into another part of the ear (semicircular canals) where they are not supposed to be. Physical therapy can be quite effective in treating BPPV.  The therapist will conduct a series of positional tests to determine which inner ear is the culprit and which of the six semicircular canals is involved.   Specific head motions or maneuvers to reposition the crystals within the inner ear are then performed to relieve the symptoms of vertigo. Oftentimes, patients experience relief after just one treatment.  Successful rehabilitation also includes balance exercises to help strengthen your vestibular system.

Lakeshore Sport & Fitness is fortunate to have the experienced physical therapists of Lakeshore Physical Therapy on site at both locations.  Click here for more information or to schedule an appointment:  www.lakeshore-pt.com

A Note from Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy for Vertigo

Vertigo is the sensation of spinning or that the room is moving around you. There are a number of conditions that can lead to vertigo; inner ear disorders, migraines, tumors, head injuries or stroke. In most cases, the cause of vertigo involves the inner ear, part of the vestibular system (your body’s balance system). It uses the organs of your inner ear to relate to your brain where your head and body are in space to keep your eyes focused and body stable.  One of the most common causes of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). BPPV is an inner ear disorder that produces short periods of spinning when your head is in a certain position. BPPV occurs when tiny crystals in your ear are dislodged and move into another part of the ear (semicircular canals) where they are not supposed to be. Physical therapy can be quite effective in treating BPPV.  The therapist will conduct a series of positional tests to determine which inner ear is the culprit and which of the six semicircular canals is involved.   Specific head motions or maneuvers to reposition the crystals within the inner ear are then performed to relieve the symptoms of vertigo. Oftentimes, patients experience relief after just one treatment.  Successful rehabilitation also includes balance exercises to help strengthen your vestibular system.

Lakeshore Sport & Fitness is fortunate to have the experienced physical therapists of Lakeshore Physical Therapy on site at both locations.  Click here for more information or to schedule an appointment:  www.lakeshore-pt.com

Make the Most of Side Stepping!
Weakness of the hip abductors is quite common and often present with hip impingement, iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome and chronic ankle sprains.  One popular hip abductor strengthening exercise is side stepping with a resistive band. It is important to note that muscle activity of the gluteus medius (gathered via electromyograph) is higher in the squat posture compared to the upright posture.  The muscle activity is also higher in the stance leg than the moving leg. 

When performing the exercise, try to squat and maintain the squat position while side stepping for the best glute workout.  View the full research article here:  https://www.jospt.org/doi/pdf/10.2519/jospt.2015.5888.

Club Improvement Update!
A Note From our Lighting Experts, SportsInteriors – dramatic difference!
After a successful tennis court lighting transition, our vendor and installer, SportsInteriors, followed up with us to let us know that in our first reading, we showed a 42% increase in light level readings. They were quoted as saying the following:
“With this conversion, we can safely say Lakeshore has the highest quality tennis lighting of any club in Chicago. The results were at or above expectations. Besides the dramatic increase in light levels, you will also see a very nice decrease in light variance. This shows that the new lights have a much better lumen distribution providing a higher quality of even lighting throughout the court. Another benefit is the quality of light, while that is not captured on the light meter, your players will all experience a much cleaner, whiter light quality that will further enhance the perception of light level increases. This quality increase allows players to pick up the ball easier and improve their playing experience.”

New Furniture at Harvest Restaurant on the Roof!
Take a peek at the brand new dining room and bar furniture for Harvest! We can’t wait to see you and yours enjoying dinner and some sunshine with the best views of Chicago!

4th Floor Pool Closure

All Things Strings
LSF Women’s Teams Sweep the Region! 3.0, 3.5, 4.5 Champions!
The 3.0 LSF Travel Team seals victory vs CPAC (E) in CITA league play!
It was a tight final with both teams very evenly matched. The matches in the final were so close it only took a few points at the crucial moments to take the title.

LSF 3.5 Woman’s CITA travel team has won the League Championship!

In an outstanding effort in the play-off and regular season our players were the team to beat and had a challenge on their hands as the top team. After a close semi-final, winning it with a tie-breaker, LSF moved into the finals on 5/8 at host site Glenbrook Racquet Club against River Trails Tennis Center. With some extremely exciting and hard fought matches LSF wins the league Championship CUP!

The 4.5 LSF Woman’s travel team WON what most of the city calls “The Fullerton Classic.”

This is when Lakeshore competes against Midtown in CITA league play.

It was an ultra-competitive final, with both teams neck and neck all the way through. As the matches progressed, LSF eventually came out with the victory after 2 1/2 hours. The final score being 4 matches to 2 matches to win the Championship Cup!

Congratulations to the entire 2018-19 roster and to Head Coach, Scott Johnson!

Make the Most of Side Stepping!
Weakness of the hip abductors is quite common and often present with hip impingement, iliotibial band syndrome, patellofemoral syndrome and chronic ankle sprains.  One popular hip abductor strengthening exercise is side stepping with a resistive band. It is important to note that muscle activity of the gluteus medius (gathered via electromyograph) is higher in the squat posture compared to the upright posture.  The muscle activity is also higher in the stance leg than the moving leg. 

When performing the exercise, try to squat and maintain the squat position while side stepping for the best glute workout.  View the full research article here:  https://www.jospt.org/doi/pdf/10.2519/jospt.2015.5888.
