Jim and Candy Meyer
My husband, Jim, and I just moved into our home
over the Memorial Weekend and are loving our new
lifestyle here. We came from our last home of fifteen
years in Tigard, Or a suburb of Portland. Before that
we lived in a Coeur d’Alene, Id for nine years. I was
born and raised in S. Cal (Torrance/Redondo Beach
area) and Jim moved there from S Dakota at the age
of 13. We met 42 years ago at Hughes Aircraft and
have been married 35 years. We have 4 children and
7 grandchildren and look forward to having them visit
us here!
We both just joined the Pickleball club, and look for-
ward to being active in that. Jim is a woodworker and
also just joined that club. We love going to the gym
and I look forward to getting into the water aerobics classes. We love the area and after exploring SC
Grand, and a few other communities, we knew Festival was the one for us.

DO I NEED TO LIFT WEIGHTS?
We are
continuously
bombarded
with in-
formation
about the
value of
exercise and
especially
aerobic ex-
ercise. We know aerobic activity
is important for controlling blood
pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol,
body weight, and for making the
heart strong and efficient. For
many different reasons, weight
training, especially for people
over age 50, is equally beneficial.
Muscle mass and muscle strength
are critical for maintaining activi-
ties of daily living, preventing falls,
maintaining independence, and
avoiding disease development.
Since muscle mass is metabolically
active tissue, starting a weight
training program can create a 7
percent increase in resting metab-
olism in just three months. This
metabolic boost can offset the 3
to 5 percent per decade reduction
in metabolic rate typical of adults

over age 50. And, by helping
maintain and/or increase muscle
mass, iron pumping will help pre-
vent the 5 to 7 pounds of muscle
loss per decade seen in people
past 50 years of age.
By putting load on muscles,
strength training has been shown
to increase glucose uptake from
the blood. This reduces the risk
for developing Type 2 diabetes
and helps manage the disease
should it occur.
Lifting weights not only loads mus-
cles, it also creates load on the
skeletal system. The result is an
increase in bone mineral density,
thus reducing risk of osteopenia
and osteoporosis.
Even in the absence of dietary
restriction, weight training helps
create fat loss. By boosting me-
tabolism, weight training creates
greater ongoing calorie burn and
can lead to a 4-pound fat loss (and
possibly more) in just ten weeks.
In the presence of calorie restric-
tion, fat loss can be as much as
twice that amount.
Consistent strength training signif-
icantly increases musculoskeletal

function. By strengthening mus-
cles around a joint, daily activities
are easier and pain of osteoarthri-
tis and rheumatoid arthritis can be
significantly reduced.
To gain all the amazing benefits
of strength training, it must be
performed two or three times per
week (three is best). The goal is to
slowly perform two sets of twelve
repetitions of each exercise mak-
ing sure to work all of the body’s
major muscle groups. In addition,
enough resistance should be used
to require near maximal effort by
repetition number twelve.
Done properly and effectively,
strength training boosts metabo-
lism, increases bone density and
improves body composition. As
with any exercise program, be
sure to start slowly and increase
gradually after getting a doctor’s
approval.
