“There are 3 types of people in the world…

those who think they give a s*%t,

those that don’t give a s*%t,

and those who give a s*%t.” – Irv Rosenberg

This quote was typical of Irv Rosenberg. My father used it a number of times during my adolescence. On February 5, 2006, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He fought “tooth & nail” to preserve his life and keep his hope alive. September 3, 2007, he passed…

Pancreatic cancer is the #4 cause of cancer death in the United States. In 2006, the American Cancer Society (ACS) predicted that 33,730 Americans (17,150 men and 16,580 women) would be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The ACS also estimated that 32,300 American men and women would die of pancreatic cancer in 2006. Of the 32,000 that are diagnosed, 80% will die within 6 months.

There is no cure for pancreatic cancer…only treatments that will extend ones life by mere months. However, there is still time to help & much that can still be done, with your two feet!

Thanks to Ted Pretty, Dave Hall, and Heidi Hayes (FOX 5 news anchors) all of us at Real Results have been swamped for the the month on January. No complaints at all. Thanks so much to you three at FOX and thanks to Stacey Escalante again for making it all happen.

I am just now coming up for air…So here is the first post of the new year!

April 3rd there is going to be a ½ Marathon & Family Friendly 5K as well as an Easter Egg Hunt (great kids prices!)

The 2010 Rockin Runners Catch the Rabbit at Six Tunnels Half Marathon and Family 5K will begin at the St. Jude’s Ranch for Children in Boulder City and run down the hill (with amazing scenic views of Lake Mead) to the historic Six Tunnels Railroad Tunnels. With no traffic to worry about and (hopefully) excellent April weather, this should be an amazing run for the novice or experienced runner!

Race amenities include a goodie bag, race t-shirt and finisher’s medal. Race day activities will include an Easter egg hunt for the kids, music, food, beverages and prizes. This is a family friendly event. We encourage you to bring your entire family out to watch the festivities or participate in the family 5K and support St. Jude’s Ranch for Children.

Make a commitment to stretch every time after you do your cardiovascular exercise.  Schedule at least 10-15 minutes to go through the whole stretching program shown in the quick reference guide.  Stretching will help prevent injury, aid in muscle recovery from exercise, enable you to exercise at greater intensities and help relieve muscle soreness.

Hey all my Real Results family!
Here are a few pics from my Half Distance Iron Man Triathlon in November (1.2 mi swim, 56 mi bike, 13 mi run). A lot of you witnessed some of the training involved, and most of you joined me and lovingly supported me. For that I thank you endlessly and attribute my second place age group finish and eighth overall woman’s finish to all you loyal and blessed fitness family. We learned so much together! And I intend to keep training hard and keep sharing the undying interest and information with all of you. My sources of endurance athlete expertise are available to all of you: my awesome coach and Real Results trainer Cyndee Platko; and my dearest friend/RR trainer/tri-athlete extraordinaire Denny Silva. I will tell you all again that if you are interested in doing tri-sports, take advantage of the wealth of knowledge these two professionals have. And you know I will run, swim, bike side by side with you!

Anti Aging Monkeys

By NICHOLAS WADE

Published: July 9, 2009

A long-awaited study of aging in rhesus monkeys suggests, with some reservations, that people could in principle fend off the usual diseases of old age and considerably extend their life span by following a special diet.

Known as caloric restriction, the diet has all the normal healthy ingredients but contains 30 percent fewer calories than usual. Mice kept on such a diet from birth have long been known to live up to 40 percent longer than comparison mice fed normally.

Would the same be true in people? More than 20 years ago, two studies of rhesus monkeys were begun to see if primates responded to caloric restriction the same way that rodents did. Since rhesus monkeys live an average of 27 years and a maximum of 40, these are experiments that require patience.

…just competed in her first figure competition.  She lost a whopping 40 pounds in approximately 16 weeks!  Her eating habits were flawless (mostly chicken, asparagus, celery, and oatmeal with an occasional cheat of whole wheat bread.)  She did a significant amount of cardio (45 minutes per day) to work the weight off.   She had maybe 1 glass of wine a month the whole time. Linzie is now an official master at removing body fat.  She did weight training 5 days a week for at least an hour a day. Her current body fat is about 16%, from her original body fat with the picture below was 30%. Her previous scale weight was 158 but during the contest it was 121!

Linzie trains clients at the 95 and Rainbow location of the Las Vegas Athletic clubs.  We couldn’t be more proud of how far she’s come!  Congratulations again Linzie for the incredible job you’ve done.
