TEETH WHITENING:

The Aspen Club and Spa is now offering cosmetic teeth whitening. The Beyond® WhiteSpa system can restore your natural white smile, removing years of stains. The painless procedure lasts one hour.

Participating in a high energy, classes  such as  SKI CONDITIONING, BODY ATTACK, or any endurance training program , on a LOW CARBOHYDRATE  DIET  is detrimental to improvements in endurance .

A low-carbohydrate intake can have a really disastrous effect on workout quality,

It is well established that carbohydrate is the primary source used above 65% VO2 max, which equates to approx 70-75% HR max, which is the level of intensity you would expect most clients/participants  to be working at , if not higher , in these type of classes.

If a person is following a low-carbohydrate diet and therefore their liver and muscle glycogen stores are low, they will find it very difficult to work at a reasonable intensity during the session and will burn less calories and see less improvement in their fitness levels.

Research shows that low- carbohydrate , may lead to poor movement quality, fatigue, hence increased risk of injury.

It is also important to remember the brain and the central nervous system also rely on carbohydrate fuel,  the brain uses 4-6g glucose every hour and so when blood glucose levels are low, this can cause bad effects on skill , coordination and movement during execution.

So if you are going to join in in a Ski Conditioning class ,or a high energy class, eat some carbohydrate with each meal , and if you are trying to loose some weight, then smaller portions. Exercise drinks are a good option, to maintain energy, and keep your -self  well hydrated.

Or you might find your performance in your Ski Conditioning class/BodyAttack, Tiring ,and unsatisfactionary and wonder why you are on the wrong leg , or going in the  wrong direction !!!

I made it out to my 1st ski conditioning class today. It was awesome, full class, lots of energy, great music and the best instructors. But I am going to be hurting in the morning.

This was a full on hour and half of non stop moving and grooving. And Yes I mean grooving, we ended doing the mambo. It was pretty cool to see everyone shaking their hips after an hour of non stop cardio. Club Chelsea has nothing on us.

After 17 years of teaching here at the club Amy Knight is on top of her game. And don’t think you’ll get away with slacking off either because she is watching every move you make. So come ready to sweat and work your butt off. But it’s all worth it in 39 days when you take your first run of the season.

Thanks Kate, what a cool film!
