How many reps is too many? - Powered by Infopop: "If you ever took a Body Pump class you'll know what high reps do. You do anywhere from 80 to 110 reps of many exercises. I have found it burns a lot of calories and does get you cut, as long as you still have workouts in the 8-12 rep range. It's tough!"

Where do you get barcodes?: Ask an Expert - Catapult - ABC Online: "In Australia, there's a cross-industry organisation called GS1 Australia that allocates barcode numbers by way of a centralised scheme to ensure each supplier has unique numbers.

Basically you ask GS1 Australia to issue you the numbers and then no other company can have them.

Contact GS1 Australia via their website. There is a charge($530)to become a member of GS1, and there is a cost to have the numbers registered."

Water Safety Tips: "

The Ridgewood Y recommends kids and adults follow the following safety tips:

• Only swim when and where there is lifeguard on duty; never swim alone.

• Adults should constantly watch children in and near the water. If multiple adults are in the vicinity, designate a “water watcher” so everyone knows who is “on duty.”

• Inexperienced swimmers should take precaution and wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal floatation device when in, on or around the water.

• Children who are beginners should stay within arm's reach of an adult in the water.

46. After attending all those summer cookouts and picnics, your Y membership keeps you healthy by maintaining your fitness routine.

47. Don’t deprive our staff of the opportunity to hear your vacation stories and view your pictures.

62. Boost brainpower; the latest research suggests that a strong, active body is crucial for building a strong, active mind.

63. Keep your bones strong, increase your bone density and prolong or limit the onset of osteoporosis.

64. Staying active increases your metabolism. You can burn off that burger, potato salad and nightly ice cream.

65. Don’t miss a chance to continue on the path to “growing old gracefully.” Physical activity helps you keep your balance and reduces your risk for falls.

66. Regular exercise helps make you more flexible; therefore, a day of gardening or water skiing may not leave your feeling quite so sore.

67. It’s a reason to be sociable. Exercise groups are a good way to meet people. You can also ask your friends to join you.

68. Don’t worry…Be Happy! Many of us are on a natural high anyway over the summer, but regular exercise and the social aspect of the Y improves your mood.

69. You sure don’t want to pay a fee to rejoin in the fall.

70. If you’re single, the Y is still a very comfortable (and non-threatening) place to meet and socialize with members of the opposite sex.

71. If you’re married, what a great place to spend couple time together.

72. If you’re a family member, remember that you can’t spell family without the “Y.” We have a variety of family strengthening opportunities waiting for you.

73. The holidays are only a few months away. Lose the seven pounds now that research says you’re likely to gain in November and December.

74. Take advantage of the extra hours of daylight. Spend time outdoors and then when the sun goes down, head to the Y for your vigorous work out.

75. Enjoy those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer with your friends and family at the Y.

76. Spend the summer at the Y. When your friends say, “I know what you did last summer,” their first clue might be your fit body.

77. Make sure your summer journal is peppered with entries that say “I spend time at the Y; I got in my daily workout. I had a chance to visit with ____at the Y. I’m meeting my health and wellness goals, thanks to my friends and instructors at the Y.

78. Make a visit to the Y a regular part of your day so you never have to hear your kids whine” when are we going to the Y?”

79. You’ve worked hard all winter; now show off your hard earned body in your latest exercise attire at the Y.

80. We have those “abs machines” to keep your beach body abs toned.

81. With fewer people engaged in pick-up basketball, chances are you’ll play more games, get in a better workout an perfect your skills. Bring on the competition once fall hits!

82. Afraid you might not use the Y enough to get your money’s worth? Schedule your workout and trip to the Y in your daily appointment calendar and honor your commitment.

83. The research shows if you invest (or make a financial commitment) you’re more likely to follow through. Keep your membership active as an incentive to stay active.

84. Sometimes you want to go “where everybody knows your name.” Let the YMCA be that place. Visit often.

85. Membership has its privileges; don’t lose your membership status.

86. Don’t be a quitter. Let my membership lapse? Never!

87. Parental Warning: Your children will return home from day camp with more stories, more friends, dirtier clothes, and a stronger spirit, mind and body than when you dropped them off.

88. Free smiles at the Y every day!

89. Go where your heart is this summer. Go to the Y.

90. You “Belong” at the YMCA.
