The days seem to be flying by, don't they?  Before we know it, we'll be into the last quarter of the year and ready to look back on what we've accomplished

before setting goals for 2017. 

As always, these FOUR S's of Weighing Yourself are key: Same TIME of day, on the Same DAY each week, wearing the Same CLOTHING, and using the Same SCALE Measure yourself - Sometimes your scale wont budge but your waistline will. Here's an article with some ideas!

The holidays are just around the corner, and we know this Fall a lot of Members are working hard to tone up for the holiday season. Some of our clubs in Houston and Central Texas are bringing you some tips to reach your health goals and get in shape for this holiday season.

DRINK MORE WATER

Not only will water keep you hydrated and make your skin glow, but drinking water can keep your stomach full. Dehydration from a lack of water can often cause you to mistake thirst for hunger. According to Livestrong.com, “Dehydration causes you to believe you need to eat when you really need liquid intake.” To avoid confusion between hunger and thirst and taking in excess calories, keep your body hydrated at all times.

LIVE UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL 7,000-square-feet of it, to be exact! The Hills of Lakeway offers Members a 7,000-square-foot facility to tone muscle and get their hearts pumping. With state-of-the-art equipment, group fitness classes and personal training, these thousands of square feet are chock full of pure fitness potential.  (Whether ot not you have a health club, you can use what you do have - trails, weights, dancing, you name it!)

WORK OUT WHERE YOU ARE  For Houston-area Members, few locales are more convenient than Hearthstone Country Club. Recently renovated with rustic Texas charm, the Club offers Members and guests a world of fantastic amenities in the heart of central Houston. Stop by before or after work, on your lunch break or late in the evenings to get your workout in – Hearthstone is located right where you are! (Lunges during television shows, for example!)

USE YOUR RESOURCES At Wildflower Country Club in Temple, Members can enjoy a full array of fitness resources at their fingertips. Besides premier exercise equipment and other amenities, Members can enjoy extraordinary personal training. Wildflower’s personal trainers can target their areas for improvement and help them prepare a plan to reach their goals.

GRAB A FRIEND

At The Clubs of Kingwood, Members can work out on two brand-new spin bikes – part of the Club’s extraordinary reinvention!
