Upswing Your Workout
Get Involved with Racquetball at the M.A.C.
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.

Racquetball Open House
If you'd like to learn more about the racquetball prospects at the M.A.C. but don't know where to start, attend a Racquetball Open House on Tuesday, Jan. 2. There will be a free clinic with a top touring men’s professional team, free information packets, a chance to meet other players in the club, exhibition matches, a doubles clinic, a backhand clinic, free refreshments and giveaways. Instructors Shari L. Coplen and Erik Becker will be available to answer questions and discuss the league options. DON’T MISS IT!

Join a League
New leagues are forming. The M.A.C. has flex and continuous leagues for all skill levels. Hurry and register for a racquetball league today!

If you have any questions, please call Shari on her cell 314-420-2903.

Congratulations to Tim Shultz for winning the YOUNG GUNS flex league and Larry Hale for winning the INTERMEDIATE league.
