The most popular car in Lincoln Hills!

A fellow agent in our office came across this interesting video highlighting the growing trend of LSVs.  What is an LSV (Low Speed Vehicle)?  According to the Lincoln Hills LSV/NEV Group, it is a neighborhood electric vehicle that is larger than a golf cart, but smaller than most light-duty passenger vehicles.  They have top speeds between 20 and 25 miles per hour and can be driven on roads are posted at 35 miles per hour or less.  

The location of services surrounding Lincoln Hills make it possible for residents to drive their LSVs almost everywhere.  There are two major grocery stores adjacent to the community as well as medical and dental facilities... even restaurants!  With gas prices continuing to rise, to is no wonder LSVs are attractive to everyone!

We "Pump You Up!" in Lincoln Hills! :)

I was recently talking with my two children, comparing our workout routines ... and I feel SO LUCKY! They both bought memberships to gyms, one in Rocklin and one in Pleasanton, where they drive 4 and 8 miles to get there, respectively, and their memberships are a bit pricey, including high initiation fees, plus contracts to stay. Both of their gyms have one heavily chlorinated pool, and though they occasionally see a familiar face, everybody is lost in their own worlds and rarely take a few minutes to say hello ... and on and on.

Meanwhile, here in Lincoln Hills, my husband and I have the use of two fully equipped gyms, both close to home and both with very pleasant indoor pools and one with two outdoor pools, too! And, the equipment in both gyms was recenty updated. And best of all, I always feel welcome to talk to people. I actually look forward to our regular exercise time at the gym because of the people I've gotten to know and the very pleasant surroundings. Here are some pictures of me with just a couple of my workout friends, George and Gail. I'm sort of hooked on the elliptical trainer, and as you can see, they are trying to show me that a little time spent on machines is not painful! (I'm the one in the blue shirt looking on as George works on his biceps.) George does the full circuit almost every day, and ends it with a refreshing swim. Gail also uses each type of equipment, but chooses different stations one day at a time. Both have a nicely varied routine and have convinced me to spread my wings, too!

To top it off, both gyms offer great classes: Yoga, Sport Conditioning, Spin, and so on. I have taken classes from time to time when my time allows, and always enjoy it. Hopefully I can get a picture soon of me and my friend Carol at an aerobics class she frequents. And lastly, a bonus of coming to our gyms is the wonderful staff. Here's a picture of Hal, one of the monitors whose friendly face and good cheer helps us get in gear for our early morning wake-up workouts! I LOVE IT HERE! :)
