Upswing Your Workout
Get Involved with M.A.C. Racquetball
 If you're looking to shed some post-holiday weight, the Missouri Athletic Club has plenty of ways to do it. Besides treadmills and stationary bikes, the M.A.C. also offers racquetball. A 140 pound person burns an average of 326 calories during a 30-minute match. Compare that to 223 calories burned on a running machine during a moderate run or 221 calories during a moderate workout on a stationary cycle. If you're looking to get in shape, consider getting involved in racquetball. It's a lot more fun than a treadmill! Here's two great ways to get involved with racquetball at the M.A.C.

2007 Charities After receiving nominations from members, the Charitable Society Committee met the first week of November to narrow the submissions to three. Because each nominated organization was so worthy, the committee had a hard time choosing only three. They tried to choose charities that would most directly benefit from the amount of funds the M.A.C. Charitable Society is able to donate at this time. The three chosen charities for 2007 are: Dream for a Day, Places for People and Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition. Click here for more about the 2007 charities. |
