CBD Massage Coming Soon to the Spa@IC

The next time you book an appointment for a massage, you may want to consider incorporating CBD hemp oil. CBD (cannabidiol) is latest, proven health and wellness essential that has several benefits when incorporate into your regular massage and fitness routines:

Reduce inflammation
Reduce chronic pain
Improve skin health
Alleviate anxiety and stress

Worried about the origin of CBD? Don’t worry, our CBD massage oils do not contain THC (the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis). A massage already comes with its own set of health benefits. The application of firm touch in the right places has been shown to have positive effects on muscle and joint pain, stress, anxiety, headaches, digestive disorders and even sleep disorders. But adding CBD oil into the mix can enhance such benefits when applied appropriately.

CBD is coming soon to the Spa@IC. Contact ICSpa@LakeshoreSF.com if you’re interested or want to learn more.

Courtesy Policy Reminder – Pick Up After Yourself

We get many requests from our members to post more signs around the club – usually to remind other members about appropriate behavior. In our experience, we have seen that more signs generally just mean more clutter that people ignore. Instead, we try to remind members via the Loop about these issues. Lately, we have been asked by members to remind others to pick up after themselves, particularly in the locker rooms. Please clean out your locker when you are done with it, throwing away trash, returning towels to the used bin and closing your locker door behind you. If you have shoes that are covered in snow, please don’t put them directly in the locker until they are dried off. Similarly, if you take equipment from one room to another, please return it to where you found it. Please wipe off equipment after you have used it and return your used towels to the dirty bin. Thanks for your help in improving the sense of courtesy in your club!

Just for Adults

Why Do I Need To Strength Train To Get Lean?

Changes in body composition, that is, reducing total body fat is largely determined by the amount of lean muscle tissue we carry. Muscle tissue is a metabolic calorie burning tissue, fat tissue is not. A primal physiologic objective at every opportunity is to store excess calories as fat for the impending “famine”. Caloric restriction or increased output to create a deficit through cardio will lead to weight loss. However, the type of weight loss is important. Your body will cannibalize lean tissue BEFORE fat storage as an easier alternative and preserve emergency fat storage. Strength training 2-3 times per week for 45-60 minutes will force the body to preserve this all important tissue and keep your metabolic rate inherently higher. For more information on optimal work-outs, please contact PT360@LakeshoreSF.com

Lose2Win is Back for 2019!

Mind & Body Special Event – Restorative Yoga and Meditation with Crystal Bowl Sound Healing
Bring a loved one and join Mark Kater for a special practice featuring restorative live music. This relaxing yoga class will be slow and peaceful. We will take time to let go of the stress of the holidays as we connect to the breath, body and mind. Experience a lovingly sequenced journey of intention-based movement complimented by a generous surrender series and Savasana accompanied by the tranquil sound of crystal bowl music. Reawaken with guided meditation to set your course for 2019. Enchanting and peaceful, crystal singing bowls produce resonate pure tone notes that start soft and grow quite loud. The sound they produce affects the physical body, subtle body, and mind. The sounds of the bowls often feel like they are buzzing or even rushing through you, calming you, and quieting your mind. Truly this is a sui generis experience that cannot be grasped without experiencing it. Friday, January 11th at 6-7pm

Mind & Body Special Event – Yoga Circuit Friday January 18th from 6:30-7:30 PM

PeeWee Halloween Party Was a Hit!

Our Pee Wee Halloween party was a blast! Many of our Pee Wees showed up to parade in their costumes, listen to spooky stories, have a haunted dance party, play in our witches brew sensory table and trick & treat around the LSF. Families and siblings were present and even our teachers got into the act! We can’t wait to see what kind of fun we can cook up for our Pee Wee New Year’s Eve Party! For more information about our Pee Wee Preschool, please email PeeWee@LakeshoreSF.com.

Patience is a Virtue – Especially with a Toddler! How to Teach Self Control

Learning self-control is so important during the toddler ears, but this learning process can be difficult! There are opportunities in your everyday routine in which you can take a few minutes to focus on building this skill. Activities that require turn-taking are great for practicing how to wait and share – rolling a ball back and forth, building a tower block by block, sharing musical instruments, pretend play, or having each child pick one or two things to share about his day at the dinner table. These activities give children the chance to wait and control their impulse to take their turn. Learning to control impulses will set your child up for success if he or she is in a group childcare setting or at school.

What can I do with an Infant?

Sometimes it’s hard when you are caring for a new baby to know exactly what to do to help them with their development. People often mistakenly think that all babies do is eat, sleep and cry. Infants are little explorers discovering the world for the first time. Chances are you are already doing the things you need to be doing to help them along with their journey. Here is a list of a few age appropriate activities for infants.

Talk, Talk,Talk- Talk to your baby. Start when they are still in the womb and don’t stop. The more words, inflections and voices they hear, the more they can learn about language and understanding.
Labeling- This goes along with talking. Labeling is the act of telling your baby what you are doing throughout the day. To some it feels silly and seems like you are talking to yourself, but this is how your children begin to comprehend language and learn what things are. For example, “I’m going to pick you up and we are going to change that smelly diaper. Let’s go get a fresh diaper. I’m going to put you on the changing table now.”
Read, Read, Read- This is so important. It not only helps to create a bond, but it helps develop language and early reading skills. The more you read, the more children will develop a love of reading. Experts recommend reading for at least 30 minutes a day, more if you can.
Sing- Even if you are not the next American Idol, singing to your baby is important. They love to hear your voice. Music is one of the best tools in working with babies and children. You can just make up songs on the spot and children will respond.
Move it!- Babies need to move. It is recommended that unless sleeping, infants who are not yet crawling do not remain in the same position for more than 30 minutes at a time. Tummy time, even for those who hate it, is the most important activity your baby can engage in. There are many “baby and me” activities where you can move with your baby. I like the book Itsy Bitsy Yoga by Helen Garabedian. It includes many physical movements you can do with your baby to develop all of their muscles.

If you would like more information about our early childhood options, please email ErinC@LakeshoreSF.com.

Lakeshore Members at National Skill Level Squash Tournament!
This last weekend in Philadelphia, the National Skill Level Squash Tournament took place in conjunction with the US Open professional tournament at Drexel University. Our very own members Deepak Gopinath and Francis Perrin took part of the 5.0 draw of the National Tournament.
Level of play was high and showed difficulties for Perrin as he fell in the first round in three contested games. Coming out of a back injury did not help Perrin’s full preparation for the event either. Another story entirely, was that of Gopinath who fought a five game first round match to earn him a chance to move to the round of quarter finals where he lost to the runner up of the whole tournament. Deepak went on to play the consolations draw to help him finish 6th in the tournament.
We at lakeshore want to congratulate these members who are part of our squash program and traveled to represent us all. Way to go guys!

Lakeshore Physical Therapy welcomes Constance Tara!
Constance is from Nashville but now considers Chicago home. She received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree in 2014 and her designation of orthopedic certified specialist in 2017. She is passionate about empowering her patients with the right knowledge and tools, so they may actively participate in their recovery process along the way. Constance values relationships and enjoys getting to know each of her patients personally and create a program tailored to their personal goals. As a previous collegiate lacrosse player, she also has a strong interest in return to play rehab and overall injury prevention.
Take a moment to stop by the physical therapy clinic located on the functional motion floor, meet Constance, and schedule a complimentary injury screen with her. If you prefer a full evaluation and treatment, please contact Joni at 312-801-8440 to get your care started. As always, Lakeshore PT accepts all major insurance plans and our unique one-on-one treatment philosophy sets us apart!

The Home Stretch!
Some of the most common advice we receive when we grieve about our newly discovered ache/pain is to stretch it out. But what does that even mean? Luckily, a 2018 study by Ewan et. al helped answer some of these questions. Despite the vilification of static stretching recently, the researchers found that it was more effective than other forms for improving range of motion long term. Ideal stretching time was discovered to be anywhere between 30-60 seconds. The research also showed stretching more than 5 times a week was more effective than 2-3; however, 7 days per week was not better than 5. Last, but not least, the study looked at optimal time spent per week stretching to maximize mobility changes. Surprisingly, a minimum of 5 minutes was required for significant changes with the ideal time being anywhere between 5-10 minutes. In conclusion, evidence shows a good dose of stretching to start with is 5-10 total minutes of stretching spread out over 5 or more days of the week. With injuries, proper exercise prescription and dosage can be complicated. For questions or a free injury screening, reach out to the experts at Lakeshore PT.

Winter Is Coming – Climb the Wall!

Have you had an opportunity to try out the climbing wall? With the weather changing and putting more variety into your workouts, maybe now is the time to check it out. We do make it easy with an Orientation for beginners and advanced beginners. This is an excellent way to learn the basics of climbing and how to belay. There is a one-time fee of $35 and that includes your shoes and harness rental. For the more experienced climber, we offer a Belay Check, which is more of a refresher course to make sure you have your safety and climbing skills down. This $20 and equipment rental is $5 for shoes and harness each. We are also planning to bring back 1 day a week of lunchtime climbing, details coming soon!

Ready to book your reservation or have more questions? Please email: Bob Good at climbing@lakeshoresf.com

Get Halloween Party Ready with PT360!

Halloween is just a month and a half out! Summer is coming to an end and its pre-Halloween costume crunch time. Are you ready for your costume? Let PT360 help you get to where you want to be. Now offering a special fall promo for new clients, we offer one on one, buddy, or small group training sessions. Please contact ICPT360@Lakeshoresf.com to set up an appointment.

NEVER SKIP LEGS DAY!

Skipping legs day might be among the worst things you can do for your goals. The hormone release gained from working your biggest muscle groups (glutes and legs) will help with muscle growth in all areas. Working these big muscle groups also puts out a huge calorie burn to help you start to see those abs! Front squats and Deadlifts are going to also be big core strengthening exercises, which will help progress your other big lifts. Not sure how to do legs day? Try this short and simple (not easy) workout to get more legs than a bucket of chicken!

Deadlifts: 5 Sets – 5 Reps

Perform the next set back to back. 5 Sets.

Front Squats: 12 reps

Split Squats: 10 ea leg

Box Jumps: 8

Then maybe close out the week with Jack’s Friday night Candle Light yoga. Great way to wind down and loosen up those sore muscles.

Having trouble with form? Want to progress your legs day to a new level? Please contact ICPT360@Lakeshoresf.com to set up an appointment.

Meet Our Two Newest Climbing Wall Team Members!

Please welcome our two newest climbing wall instructors Logan Dodd and Anna Bifano. In an effort to continue the tradition of well-trained and friendly instructors, we have expanded our team at Illinois Center.

Logan just moved to Chicago from Champaign, Illinois. He has taught climbing classes and set routes. One of his first experiences with climbing was an outdoor trip to Jackson Falls, Illinois. “I was blown away by the sport and once I got home I immediately bought my own gear and started training”. Ever since, climbing has become one of his favorite hobbies, along with table tennis and inline skating. Logan is working Saturday and Sunday from 11am-2pm.

Anna is finishing up her degree at DePaul University this year. She grew up in Boston, MA, and was introduced to climbing by her family at a fairly young age. Anna moved to Chicago after high school and got back into climbing about three years ago. I’ve climbed on. Over the last two years she has taken her climbing seriously and has been striving to improve and learn all that she can about climbing, safety in climbing and hiking. “I love it and I can’t wait to learn more”. Anna works Wednesday evenings from 5-9pm.

Meet the new GM of Lakeshore Sport & Fitness

It’s no surprise that Jarrett Brown is a big fan of Lakeshore Sports & Fitness (LSF). Not only is he passionate about health and fitness but he also has a more personal connection to the club.

“I met my wife while working at the Lincoln Park club,” Brown said. “She was a personal trainer there. It started as friends and at some point in time, we started dating. We just celebrated a three-year anniversary in September.”

“I’ve been with LSF for over 5 years and I like the fact that it’s not just a gym, it’s a health club, with all the amenities, the sense of community and the people you meet.” “I’ve either been in the motorcycle industry or Health and wellness my entire adult life and its true when you do what you love you never work a day in your life.”

My goal is to help more people get results with their time here at LSF, whatever that means to them. For any comments or feedback, feel free to reach him at JarrettB@lakeshoresf.com.
