Cal is a demanding academic
environment. Communication,
creative problem solving and
teamwork all play an important
role in succeeding here. Our
ropes course also known as a
challenge course offers an
opportunity for your group to
break out of familiar routines to
find new ways of commu-
nicating and working together
that will transfer to theclassroom, lab, study group,
office or field of play. How does
it work? Our ropes course
features seven separate high
elements (some 40ft high!), and
over 900 feet of rope all within
a grove of Redwood trees at the
Strawberry Canyon Recreation
Area. With support literally!
from cohorts, participantsforge their way across ropes
and elevated platforms;
communicating, taking risks,
building trust, having fun and
developing genuine friendships
as they solve challenges
presented by the course. Its an
unforgettable experience.

FntionalFitnessIts winter break;
youre at home and yourparents ask you to helprake up leaves in the back-yard. No worries -- youvebeen jogging three times aweek. After the rake-fest yourarms, back and shoulders areaching; that snowboardingtrip you have planned for thenext day suddenly doesntsound so good. The problem?By restricting your workoutsto jogging, youre ignoring alarge percentage of your 650muscles. A good strengthtraining program works thewhole body: increasing mus-cle, tendon, bone and ligamentstrength; allowing you to callon these parts when needed.Functional Fitness is a hugebenefit of strength train-ing, says Rec Sports TrainerRobbie Earle. It just makesdaily living much easier. Andif you snowboard, mountainbike, play hoops, tennis, orany athletic activity strengthtraining will help you do itbetter.
The Reasons
MslesBrn
caloriesYou dont have
to beLeBron Jamesor Serena Williams to
realize the benefits ofstrength training. Were nottalking about getting ripped;this is more about increasingthe rate that your body burnscalories. Rec Sports FitnessDirector Devin Wicks explainsit this way: Running, biking,or using an elliptical trainerare great for your cardiovas-cular health, but they dont
build muscle. And you wantto build muscle. When youstrength train youre askingyour muscles to adjust andgrow to meet the demands ofpushing that weight around;this process burns a lot ofcalories even after theworkout is over. According tothe Center for Disease Control(CDC), strength training canprovide up to a 15% increasein metabolic rate (how quickly
your cells convert food intoenergy), which is enormouslyhelpful for weight loss andlong-term weight control.
changesBoy
comositionStrength Training, when
done regularly, will changeyour body composition, andthat will make you look fitand trim. Heres how: as yougain muscle you will mostlikely decrease body fat dueto the extra workouts andthe increased metabolic ratecaused by growing muscles.Your body weight may stay thesame because muscle is denserthan fat, but it also takes upless space and gives a moretoned and fit appearance. Itsnot unusual to see some-one drop a size or two aftertheyve been strength trainingfor a couple of months,explains our man Devin. Anincrease in your muscle-to-fatratio can make a huge differ-ence in your appearance. Evenyour posture can improve. Youwill feel good, look better, andbe much healthier and thatsthe most important thing.
GettingStartedIf you havent done any strength training, its important
to start slowly.Yourbodywillneedachancetoadjusttothe
