The Tennis Court
is now open
at Cypress Pointe North!
There aren't many sports activities
that test every part of your body.
Basketball and soccer are good for
your legs and your aerobic health.
Weightlifting makes you stronger.
Tennis takes care of everything. It
requires QUICKNESS and AGILITY
to get to the ball, CORE
STRENGTH to get power into your
shots, STAMINA to be able to play
for a couple of sets and MENTAL
TOUGHNESS to stay one step
ahead of your opponent. All that
while having fun, working off stress
and energizing your spirits.
Here is what tennis can do for you:
Head
Tennis sharpens the mind as it shapes
the body. Every time a ball is hit, you
must react and respond quickly. And if
you're going to be successful, you
must map out a strategy to use against
your opponent. This helps keep your
brain agile and young - and helps
relieve tension.
Arms
Swinging a racquet for an hour or two
will help tone your biceps, triceps,
shoulders and forearms, and will leave
you stronger and more sculpted
throughout your upper body.
Flexibility
Tennis forces you to stretch dozens of
muscles all over your body, including a
few you probably didn't know you had.
Abs
Core strength may be a hot workout
topic these days, but tennis players
have known about it for years. That's
because the core, or trunk, which
includes your abs and lower back
muscles, does the hard work when you
hit a tennis ball. It not only keeps you
balanced as you run, it provides the
power in your strokes, along with your
legs and upper body.
Legs
Your leg muscles - your calves,
hamstrings and quadriceps - get a full
workout from playing tennis. What's
more, the powering explosive
movements you make in tennis, such
as taking a first step toward the ball or
changing direction in a split second, are
great for strengthening your
"fast-twitch" muscle fibers, which are
essential to explosive, anaerobic types
of activity.
Heart
Interval training is a great way to
improve heart function, and tennis
trains the heart in an interval fashion.
Your body works at a higher level as it
runs around the court and then
recovers at a lower intensity during the
20 to 30 seconds between points. This
is the exercise routine often used on
treadmills and elliptical trainers - and a
lot more fun.

Choosing the Best
Window Treatments
for Your Home*
Outfit your home with
designer-inspired window
treatments that are just as
practical as they are pretty.
Relaxed Roman Shade
Roman shades are an excellent
alternative to blinds or drapes. The
shades help soften a window’s harsh
lines while also helping control light and
heat. Relaxed Roman shades are
characterized by the curvature of their
bottoms. These shades are an ideal fit
for traditional-style rooms or those
packed with feminine décor.
and closed and higher in price than
stationary panels.
Stationary Panels
Stationary panels are strictly decorative
and used to soften a window’s hard
edges. Since this panels are stationary,
they require significantly less fabric an d
labor to make than functional panels.
Cartridge Pleats
Pleating is a stylish way to tailor
window treatments to a specific design
style. The drapery panels used in this
living room were constructed using
cartridge pleats, an ideal fit for
traditional, formal and transitional
interiors.
Soft-Top Construction
Soft-top drapery panels are hemmed
and lined yet void of pleats altogether.
The result is a much more casual look
which fits coastal, bohemian, eclectic
or rustic design styles.
Flat Roman Shades
Flat Roman shades are the most
common style of Roman shades due to
their ability to work with both masculine
and feminine spaces, as well as a wide
array of design aesthetics. They’re
characterized by the straight edge
along the bottom of the fabric.
Functional Panels
Anytime you’re estimating for window
treatments, it’s important to first decide
if you need functional or stationary
panels. Functional panels, or those
used for privacy and light control,
require enough fabric to be drawn open
(*re-printed hgtv.com)
Drapery Lengths
The term “break” refers to when the
bottom of a drapery panel meets the
floor. High-traffic rooms with children
and pets are best fit for a ¼ inch break
which leaves the bottom hem of the
panel slightly raised above the floor.
This type of break makes everyday
cleaning much easier since the hem
never comes into direct contact with
the ground. Formal spaces with low
traffic are ideal for puddle drapery
breaks in which extra fabric is added
along the bottom.
Drapery Rods
Drapery hardware, although often
overlooked, makes a big impact on
window treatments. When choosing
drapery rods, consider those with
returns which curve along their ends;
this seamless look adds a tailored,
architectural touch to windows.
