Cyclemania 2009

Today begins our month-long Cyclemania 2009.

There are many health benefits to Cycling. Here are just a few of them:

1. A few miles of cycling per day assure trimmer and toned muscles. This is because your upper thigh muscles, backside and calf muscles all get to workout.
2. Pursuing cycling helps a great deal in building your stamina. It enables you to carry out your day-to-day activities more effectively.
3. Cycling has found to be effective for treating people diagnosed with diabetes and cancer.
4. Cycling can prove to be the best mode to move around your local area without any difficulty.

For all of these and more, see the Benefits of Cycling Website.

Join us at ClubSport San Ramon for Cyclemania 2009. Click HERE for complete details.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancer. An estimated 40,170 women are expected to die from this disease in 2009 alone. Today there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States." You can learn more HERE.

Here are a few Diet & Exercise Tips for Breast Cancer Prevention:

• Limit Alcohol - Consider limiting alcohol to one drink or less per day.
• Maintain a Healthy Weight - There is a clear link between obesity and breast cancer. This is especially true if you gain weight later in life. Experts speculate that estrogen production in fatty tissue may be the link between obesity and breast cancer.
• Stay Physically Active - Staying physically active helps in maintaining weight and refraining from obesity.
  
• Consider Limiting Fat in Your Diet - Most importantly, stay away from Saturated Fats.
