Students in Butte County seem to be gradually improving their fitness, but across the river in Glenn County, they've lost ground.
The California Department of Education released its annual Fitnessgram last week, showing this year's results of physical fitness tests taken by all public school students in fifth, seventh and ninth grades every spring. (See table on page 7A.)
Since 2005 students in Butte County have improved their fitness scores significantly. But Glenn County scores are mixed, showing slight improvements in the seventh- and ninth-grade scores, but significant decline in fifth-graders' levels of fitness.
Almost all local scores dipped below last year's, with only Butte County seventh-graders showing an improvement.

The changing face of fitness and muscle building training
Hey,
I thought you might like this article about the changing landscape in the fitness world.
Kim Haskett of West Lafayette just started working out. Although newly committed to the gym experience, she has noticed all the changes in fitness over the past 20 years.
"I remember when my mom used to do aerobics back in the early '80s and women weren't encouraged to lift weights, now my favorite class is Bodypump (a weight-lifting class)," the 36-year-old stay-at-home mom said.
Haskett, gym owners and others who have been around fitness agree that many changes have occurred in the past 20 years, especially the huge explosion of group exercise classes -- primarily to accommodate the influx of the non-stereotypical gym goer, either the stay-at-home mom like Haskett or the baby boomer who continues to work out.
Barry Newton, owner of Newtone Health & Fitness in Lafayette, has been in the business since 1988.
He said one of the major changes has been the variety and increase in the number of classes the gym offers each week. He offers 75 classes each week, ranging from water aerobics, to yoga to Bodypump. Whereas 20 years ago he only offered five to 10 classes each week, and they were all step aerobics.
"The reason we offer more classes is because they work ..." Newton said. "The reason they work is primarily because of the socialization -- having people work out with you."
Daryl Sieplinga, YMCA consultant, has been working for the YMCA full time since 1978....

Personal Fitness Training Franchise Introduces Bold New Fitness Goals Guarantee
Here's an interesting artilce I found about muscle building. Read the rest at:
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/11/prweb1681354.htm
Company guarantees all clients that they will achieve their weight management and fitness goals or Personal Training Institute will give 6-months of free training sessions. Company expects franchise location growth in 2009.
Jericho, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2008 -- Personal Training Institute (PTI), a unique fitness concept that provides One-to-One personal fitness training and nutrition consultation to every client with every visit introduced today their aggressive "PTI Fitness Goals Guarantee." The guarantee provides that if clients using the PTI fitness program do not achieve mutually-agreed fitness goals within a 6-month period, which may include weight loss, muscle mass or other agreed physical health improvements, they can get free personal fitness training sessions and nutrition consultation for the next 6-month period.
"While we believe that this is one of the most aggressive guarantees in the fitness business today, we are also very confident that most clients using our proven fitness programs will achieve their goals," said Evan A. Kaplan, company CEO. "It has been proven among our clientele that our 'Always One-to-One Fitness & Nutrition' program is more effective and in many cases more lasting than just going it alone in a gym," he added.
In a recent client survey, nearly 75% said that either they have already reached their fitness goals at PTI or they believe that PTI will help them achieve those goals. "Client satisfaction at PTI is much higher than for most fitness facilities. It's all about client results, and those results are greatly enhanced by our professionally trained staff that offers personalized service to each of our clients," added Carol Kur, company co-founder and registered dietician. According to their research findings, clients at PTI generally agree that the personalized service helps them with achieving and maintaining their fitness goals.
The company's new guarantee will require adherence to the plan of regular exercise in their training centers, regular visits with a personal nutritionist, the maintenance of an eating diary and regular weigh-ins for the fitness guarantee to be honored.
While these services were once luxuries afforded by only a few, PTI now offers affordable personal fitness training and individualized nutrition counseling to every one of its clients during every visit. While many other fitness facilities offer personal training and nutrition counseling as an added-cost feature, at PTI "...It is not an up-sell to a gym membership, at PTI personal training and nutrition is the core of our business," said Kaplan....

Muscle Building Training Secrets You Should Know
When you’re working towards the goal of building your muscles, you need to keep your sights on your goal – but you also have to make sure that you are pursuing your goal in the right way. There are a lot of people who eagerly get into bodybuilding, but don’t get the results they wanted and waste a lot of time and money along the way because they have been doing things all wrong! While having professional advice and supervision is best when you start a muscle building training regimen, following these tips will help you to do things properly even if you decide to go it alone.
So, How Many Times Per Week Should You Workout?
Many people are very enthusiastic when they start their muscle building training and try to work out seven days a week! Not only does this leave you incredibly sore, it also fails to build as much muscle as you would like. Your body has to have recovery time in between workouts in order to build muscle. You should limit your workouts to just three a week if you want to make the most of your bodybuilding.
What Element Should Your Workout Include?
Muscle building training should include three basic types of exercises:
- Free weight muscle building
- Machine based muscle building
- Compound muscle building exercises
People disagree about how well these types of exercise work on their own, but if you use all three together, you can get the kind of balanced muscle building training that will really give you results.
You Should Eat, Too. That's Part Of It
Your diet is every bit as important as is your workout routine. If you’re trying to build muscle, it’s important to eat the right food in the appropriate quantities. If you want to keep from gaining weight, or want to lose a few pounds as you build muscle, it all comes down to making sure that you have a well thought out diet plan in place. Determine your caloric needs, including the calories you are burning off in your muscle building training to come up with an appropriate diet.
Keep Balanced
One common mistake made by bodybuilding newcomers is focusing on one muscle group (say, the abdominal muscles) to the exclusion of other muscle groups. What you need to do is to work out every muscle group to achieve an overall toned and defined look.
Keep Your Mind On Your Workout
When you let yourself be distracted by your own problems, you won’t be making the most of your workout. You have to be focused on your muscle building training to get the best results. Leave your worries at home and put your mind into your bodybuilding. You can use breathing techniques to help you relax.
Using these tips will get you off to a great start in your muscle building training. Take a look at your progress after the first month and congratulate yourself on a job well done.
