USANA Olympic Spotlight: US Speedskating

---

Speed skating has come a long way since the people of Holland strapped iron skates onto wooden soles as a means of transportation in the 13^th century. Today, the sport is the fastest human powered, non-mechanical aided sport in the world in which skaters can reach speeds over 60 km per hour.

The sport has a long Olympic history: Men’s speed skating has been part of the Olympics since the first Winter Games were held in Chamonix in 1924. Women’s speed skating became a full medal event in 1960. Short track was added in 1992. And team pursuit was just introduced as an Olympic event at the Torino 2006 Winter Games.

Team US Speedskating has long dominated all distances of the sport. They have won a total of 75 Olympic medals since 1924, and they won the most total medals (10) for the United States in Torino. In fact, speedskating has been the “winningest” sport for the US in Olympic history. This year, the team is poised for a repeat performance. In recent Olympic-qualifying events, many American records have been shattered in both men’s and women’s events at all distances. The competition promises to be fierce in February!

The US Speedskating Olympic team is packed with many superstars of speed skating, including Shani Davis, Katherine Reutter, and Chad Hedrick. The 2010 Olympic hopeful (and 2007 Dancing With The Stars winner) Apolo Anton Ohno is sure to be one to watch. One of the most well-known Olympians today, he has won an Olympic medal at every distance, and one more medal would make him the most decorated male Winter Olympian in American history!

USANA is proud to sponsor US Speedskating by providing them with nutritional supplements they can trust. Speed skating gets underway on February 13 and events are scheduled throughout the duration of the Olympics. Check the official 2010 Winter Olympics Web site for a full schedule.

USANA Associates across the world started their New Year off right by hitting their RESET™ button last week. And it was a huge success! RESET Week saw Associates supporting each other as everyone pushed to start the year off with the first—and most important—step toward achieving those New Year’s resolutions.

Besides the support of friends and family, RESET Week participants were also able to follow great advice from USANA fan and fitness expert Kathy Kaehler* on the What’s Up USANA? blog. It’s amazing to have someone like Kathy on the USANA team. In case you missed out, here are some of her fitness tips.

• 1. Make it a priority to exercise in the morning.
• 2. 
Make exercise possible by keeping your workout clothes and shoes close by.
• 3. 
Doing short bouts of a variety of activities will always add up at the end of the day. Do not discount the benefits of taking the stairs, carrying grocery bags, walking around the block, doing ten pushups, walking a dog, or completing any other mini workout that you can put into your day.
• 4. Put your exercise in a planner or calendar. Keeping your workouts like an appointment will help you stick to your program.
• 5. Never give up. Every day is a new day.

RESET Week may be over, but that doesn’t mean your journey to find the new you is over. Keep your focus on maintaining that momentum you built up. And if you haven’t hit your personal RESET button, it’s still a great time to get your friends and family together for a RESET party or weight-loss challenge—a little friendly competition can provide some extra incentive.

So stock up on your favorite USANA Foods to stay on track with your new, healthy habits or go get your RESET Kits, find out more about throwing a RESET party, and use Kathy Kaehler’s advice to start making 2010 the year of the new you.
