$23.7
Billion
The amount
consumers spent in the U.S. on supplements in 2007,
according to the Nutrition Business Journal. There
are many promises to boost health and prevent chronic
diseases, and a handful of studies have shown a strong
link between certain supplements and positive health
outcomes, but it's always wise to do independent research
before buying into the latest popular supplement.

23 Year Anniversary Party a Success
It was clear attendees enjoyed themselves at the 23rd
anniversary Malibu Fitness party, last Sunday, March
15. Observing from all corners of the facility I felt
proud to see the many smiling faces of members and
non-members alike, joking and interacting with each
other. People gathered outside feasting on mouth-watering
food, mingling and enjoying the live music played
by the Funkadelics. Inside, people watched the different
class demonstrations attentively and applauded the
great dance performances by Lavinia and Corey’s
dance groups. The celebration was a great opportunity
for prospects to become familiar with the culture
and atmosphere that has made the club Malibu’s
top choice when it comes to fitness. Club Manager
Ignacio Rodriguez was really pleased with the event,
“I am really happy with this turnout. I am looking
around and everyone is having a blast. Something has
to be said for what Lonnie (owner) has done for this
community, look around and you’ll understand
the impact she’s made on everyone’s lives”.
Malibu Fitness was founded in 1986.

NEW!
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Now Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Sundays
Our new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
(BJJ) class is off to a great start, attracting to
the club martial arts enthusiasts of all ages, sizes
and skill levels.
BJJ is a martial
art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and
ground fighting. It promotes the principle that any
person, regardless of size and weight, can use leverage
and proper technique to successfully defend against
bigger, stronger opponents. For every technique taught
in class there also exists a counter-move or a way
to escape, making this style of fighting comparable
to physical game of chess. On the ground one can perform
a number of maneuvers to manipulate the opponent into
a suitable position for the execution of a submission.
Submission moves such as chokeholds and joint-locks
are hence the equivalent of checkmate in the sport.
The class is
a great work out and requires constant use of all
your body parts while keeping the brain engaged in
the activity. BJJ is all about learning together as
a family so egos are left at the door, allowing camaraderie
to exist and grow. So come check it out, first class
FREE!
Tuesdays & Thursdays :
7:00pm - 8:15pm
Sundays : 12:00pm - 1:15pm

Good News About Coffee
Coffee lovers may be raising their cups—and
perhaps eyebrows—at the recent news (in the
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry) that the
drink contains soluble fiber, the type that can help
lower cholesterol. With about 1 gram per cup, coffee's
fiber impact is modest. But the report is the latest
in a growing stream of positive news about coffee.
