VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE
We all know
exercise is
good for us.
It helps con-
trol blood
pressure,
cholesterol,
blood sugar
and body
weight. Exercise makes our heart
stronger and more efficient. Exer-
cise helps maintain and increase
strength and bone density. As a
result, we faithfully take our daily
walk, spend time on the treadmill,
and/or lift weights. However, we
may not be providing ourselves
with the MAXIMAL benefits for all
our efforts.
Our bodies are “stimulus-re-
sponse” mechanisms. The heart,
the muscles and all the other body
parts will respond (get stronger
and more fit) to the stimulus of
exercise. Since the body is basi-
cally lazy, the response (fitness)
is exactly the amount needed-no
more, no less-based on the pro-

vided stimulus
The response of consistent,
daily stimulus of exercise goes
only so far when we do the same
exercise, for the same amount of
time, at the same effort level, in
perpetuity. The body will get only
so much benefit and respond only
so much to the same constant
stimulus. Changing exercise habits
can lead to additional and greater
fitness gains and benefits.
The same exercise over and
over can also lead to boredom
and/or repetitive stress injuries.
Boredom is one of the most-re-
ported barriers to exercise. It only
makes sense for us to get bored
when we do the same exercise day
after day. Doing different exercise,
or changing the routine, substan-
tially increases the likelihood of
sticking with a consistent exercise
program. In addition, repetitive
movements done frequently and
without adequate recovery can
lead to overuse injuries such as
tendonitis, pulled muscles, and

bursitis. These types of problems
can substantially limit, or totally
prevent, exercise performance.
Exercise variety prevents one
particular part of the body from
repeatedly undergoing the same
movement or the same stress.
So, instead of that five days
per week at the same speed for
the same amount of time on
the treadmill, try ten or fifteen
minutes on the stationary bike
or the elliptical trainer. Or, try
increasing/varying the speed or
incline on the treadmill. Turn
up the resistance on the bike or
elliptical trainer. Instead of the
same weight machine exercises
for the shoulder or back muscles,
try using some of the free weight
equipment, or challenge your-
self with body weight exercises.
Consistently changing the exercise
routine keeps the body continually
challenged and prevents boredom
and injury.

 Resident Profile
News Russ Tapley & Diane Van Boxtel
Russ and Diane first came to SCF in January 2009 when Diane had a
Mary Kay Leadership Conference in Phoenix and wanted to visit her
long time friend Debbie Danser who had recently bought a home
at SCF. We immediately feel in love with the “resort” feel of SCF,
however, we had no thoughts of retirement.
Time passsed, the market turned downward, lot prices kept drop-
ping and Debbie kept encouraging us to buy a lot so in May 2009
we told Debbie to pick us out a lot. Even though we had no plans
to retire anywhere yet we minimally felt it would be a good invest-
ment and we could always rent out the home. Since that time we
have been both visiting SCF and renting out our home.
A little about the two of us, we met in California in early 80’s. Russ
has always been a “uniform guy”; having been a California Highway
Patrol Officer, served in Viet Nam as a Marine, served in the US
Army retiring after 27 years as a Command Sgt Major, and worked
for US Postal Service. Russ enjoys playing pickelball and Texas hold
em and loves his Corvette.
Diane has been in numerous banking/finance positions over her career, however, after several mergers and
opportunities for her to be downsized she decided she would look for something where she had more con-
trol over her destiny yet could “give back” and make a difference for others. She has now been spearheading
her own business for l5 years, offering consultative services for skin care and cosmetics to women all over
the United States and has a team of women throughout the US who she is honored to coach/mentor, help-
ing them grow their business.
We love to travel and this year we went to Europe twice. Additionally, we have a home in Green Bay, WI.
For these two reasons we aren’t at SCF as much as we would like but when we are there we thoroughly en-
joy every moment. Both of us love the friendliness of the people at SCF and all the wonderful relationships
we made and I am forever grateful to my friend Debbie for encouraging us to build a home at SCF.
