lETTER From The EDITOR
When Father Junipero Serra first set his eyes on San Diego in 1769, he famously sang the area’s praises.
“Thanks be to God, I have arrived at this port of San Diego,” the mission founder wrote. “It is beautiful
to behold and does not belie its reputation.”
More than two centuries later, Serra’s assessment still rings true. And beyond our coastal climate and
hillside slopes, our culture contributes to the appeal and fullness of our much-lauded lifestyle.
We enjoy a flourishing arts community, pristine sand and surf, the lure of fine dining, an engaging
entertainment scene and a thriving economy of business and tourism.
This is our home. And for this very reason, our August issue is wholly dedicated to celebrating San Diego
living. From intimate shows at Anthology to dishes served at the newest Cohn restaurant to treasures
uncovered in local boutiques, we unapologetically revel in all the beauty our city has to offer.
And we acknowledge that San Diego is more than just a pretty face—it’s a city with a heart. This issue
features Sergio De La Moda, pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Diego, one of the largest in the
nation, and author of “The Heart Revolution.” And we highlight the efforts of St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center, a home away from home
for nearly 400 developmentally disabled adults.
We hope that you enjoy this tribute to our beautiful city.

Do you regularly feel tired and have trouble
concentrating even though you get seven or eight
hours of sleep most nights? Does your partner
regularly complain about your snoring? If so, you may be
suffering from sleep apnea, a common sleeping disorder that
can have long-term negative health effects.
Fortunately, sleep apnea can be addressed through dental
treatments. As the owner of Smiles By Valentina in San Diego
and Adriatic Dental in San Marcos, I have been able to help
many patients deal with this problem.
Sleep apnea occurs when a person stops breathing for
short periods while asleep. Those with sleep apnea can have
their sleep interrupted over a hundred times during the night
and not even be aware of it. The body doesn’t respond well
to all these interruptions. After all, sleep is the body’s primary
recovery mechanism. Symptoms of sleep apnea include:
• Fatigue
• Difficultyconcentrating
• Extreme sleepiness during the day
• Increased blood pressure
• Increased risk of stroke
• Increased risk of heart attack and heart failure
• Increased risk of diabetes
• Increased risk of depression
• Worsening of ADHD
The most common form of sleep apnea is obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA), a condition in which the airway is blocked
during sleep by soft tissue in the back of the throat. Sleep
apnea can affect anyone, including men, women and children.
In many cases, an individual doesn’t even know that they have
sleep apnea.
Fortunately, there are a variety of treatments available.
The type of treatment recommended will depend on the
individual situation of each patient. The most basic treatment
is behavior therapy. Sometimes just avoiding alcohol, sleeping
pills and other sedatives before going to sleep is all that’s
needed to correct the issue. In other circumstances, patients
have seen improvement by switching from sleeping on their
back to sleeping on their side.
For more moderate or severe cases of sleep apnea, there
are other treatment options including medications that
encourage breathing during the night or even a continuous
positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, a mask that patients
wear during the night that forces their airways open with
pressurizedair.However,manypatientsfindtheCPAPdevice
to be very uncomfortable.
Luckily, your local dentist may have a more comfortable
alternative. As an experienced dentist, I usually prescribe an
Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT)—a custom-made mouthpiece,
similar to a retainer, that moves the lower jaw forward so the
airway remains open throughout the night. Another option at
your dentist’s disposal is a DNA Appliance, which is similar
to an OAT, but actually encourages changes in your jaw and
teeth structure to permanently eliminate sleep apnea.
Most dental interventions for sleep apnea are ideal for
mild-to-moderate cases of the disorder. If sleep apnea is severe,
your dentist may refer you to an oral surgeon for surgery.
If you or someone in your family is suffering from the symptoms
of sleep apnea, schedule an appointment with your dentist right
away. Please feel free to call me with questions at 760.591.3434
or visit our website at healthygumsandteethnow.com. Or stop by
Smiles By Valentina in San Diego or Adriatic Dental in San
Marcos. We can’t wait to see your well-rested smile!

SAN DiEgO’S ANThOLOgyThe hottest supper club puts our city on the musical map.
In the 1930s and 1940s, supper clubs reigned in the United States. A close kin to the speakeasy, but without required secrecy, the supper club gave its clientele a meal and a
night of entertainment together. Decades later, Anthology revived and enhanced the concept
in San Diego. Located in the heart of Little Italy, Anthology allowstouristsandlocalsaliketoexperiencefinediningwhilelistening to spectacular headliners. The venue’s three-tiered layout gives guests in all sections
an up-close experience with artists, who perform live in an intimate dining setting. The atmosphere is only increased when the lights dim, and a blue neon light casts an ethereal glow while high-vaulted ceilings lend incredible acoustics, giving the featured artist a chance to be heard performing live in an intimate dining setting.
Anthology is the vision of Howard Berkson, real estate developer who wanted to create “a contemporary version of the great supper clubs of the 1930s and 1940s in downtown San Diego, where he could combine his shared passions for livemusicandfinedining,”marketingcoordinatorCaseyPuklsays, recalling Anthology’s beginnings. “Itwastheinfluenceof growingupinChicagowhereevery
neighborhood had its local spot to go and listen to great live music,” Pukl explains. “This experience led Howardand Marsha Berkson to conceptualize and start working on bringingthisvisiontolife.”Seating more than 250, Anthology’s musical line-up features
Latin, jazz, blues, classic rock and more. Sacha Boutros, an international Latin and jazz singer, has been performing at Anthology since the venue opened in 2007.

“I love Anthology,” says Boutros, who recently performed
a tribute to her mentor Red Holloway, who passed away in
February.
“Mytributeconcertwasoneweekafterhisbirthday,”Boutros
said. “I just recently got back from tours to Europe, and was
thrilledtobebackatAnthology,performinginmyhometown.”
TocelebratefiveyearsinSanDiego,Anthologyexpandedits
hours at the beginning of the year. It may be a trendy supper
club, but Sunday brunch and lunch from Tuesday to Friday
are now available. Executive Chef Todd Allison, a San Diego
native, is the mastermind behind Anthology’s impressive
menu, which includes small plates like Creamy Chipotle Mac
and Cheese and Crispy Baja Calamari, or full-sized entrees
like Pan Roasted Sea Bass, House Made Fettuccini and Maple
Leaf FarmsConfitDuckLegCassoulet.
This fare can be enjoyed while listening to a host of headliners,
which in the past have included Alanis Morissette, Brandi
Carlile, Michael Bublé and Natalie Cole. August headliners
include Brazilian pop artist Luisa Maita, R&B singer Brian
McNight, swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and jazz group
Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet.
From swing to Flamenco jazz to the Blues, Anthology’s
playlist is sure to please—and to put San Diego on the map.
“The owners Howard and Marsha Berkson … have built a
world-classmusicvenue inSanDiego,”Boutros said. “Iam
pleased to say that I have had all my CD-release events there,
and whenever I tour I spread the word about our gem in San

POWER, BEAuTy AND SOuLAston Martin’s latest models lead the luxury pack.
Among luxury cars, few names carry more weight behind
them than Aston Martin. It is the preferred vehicle of James
Bond, the chapel where mechanical prowess and absolute
luxury can come together to be joined in holy matrimony,
forever and ever.
With the brand currently thriving under new ownership,
classes of new models are being released every year, with 2012
looking to be one of the most groundbreaking yet.
The most notable new-release is the 2012 Vanquish, which
was discontinued for a hot minute in 2007 before being
reintroduced this year. It is a racehorse of a car, carrying a V-12
engine with 565 horsepower and a body made of exclusively
carbon-fibermaterialstomakeitlighterandfaster.Thenew
Garmin cabin interface, LED displays, and 15- speaker sound
system all forecast stunning luxury that will satisfy even the
most fastidious of speed and performance junkies.
The combined force of these features, together with the
Vanquish’s impressivespecshas ledofficialsat theConcours
d’Elegance Villa d’Este, renowned elegance competition for
classic and vintage cars, to christen it “the ultimate expression
of Aston Martin design ethos, engineering innovation and
technicalability.”
Even so, it will be a long climb to the top if the Vanquish
wishes to outperform its near cousin, the Zagato. The Zagato
is the successor to Aston Martin’s indomitable One-77 model,
whichwaswidely consideredoneof theword’sfinest sports
cars. The name for the car is derived from a partnering Italian
coachbuilder that has been in collaboration with Aston Martin
on aesthetic and performance aspects of the design.
The car itself is an engineering marvel, purportedly
demanding more than 2,000 hours of labor for the production
of a single unit. As one might expect, it is a V-12, with more
than 510 horsepower beneath the hood. With an interior that
boasts leather hand-stitched quilting seats and carbon-fiber
dash displays, the Zagato is luxurious enough to suit even the
most discriminating of tastes.
For those wishing to get behind the wheel of one of these
beauties, San Diego European Motorcars LTD has a wide
selection of Aston Martins for immediate sale, in addition to
an inventory of Lotus and Jaguars to choose from. You can
also contact Aston Martin personnel through the website
(astonmartin.com) for more assistance.
There are a host of other models being re-released this year
for the Aston Martin line as well, all representing a broad
spectrumof pricesandconfigurations.If youcravetheopen
road and have a healthy penchant for style and adventure, then
it might be time to see what Aston Martin has to offer.

lIfE to thE fullEstSMSC encourages the developmentally disabled to embrace their potential.
Tucked away on a hill in El Cajon lies a little-known
sanctuary. Complete with an organic garden, junior Olympic-
sized pool and several multi-purpose classrooms, St. Madeleine
Sophie’s Center is a home away from home for nearly 400
developmentally disabled adults.
For more than 35 years, SMSC has offered adults with
disabilities ranging from autism to epilepsy to Down syndrome
the opportunity to live independently. Whether through
academic tutoring like reading or math, social interaction like
gardening or swimming, or practical guidance like filling out
job applications or preparing for job interviews, SMSC strives
to empower disabled adults to experience and understand
their capabilities as part of society.
“Every day there are new stories,” Debra Turner, executive
director of SMSC says, “and I’m sure there are many more
that we don’t even know about.”
Heidi is an especially shy disabled adult who has been greatly
affected by SMSC for three years. Here, Heidi has opened
up and even had the opportunity to join a dance troop—
something she or her mother never thought possible.
“Parents begin looking at their children’s abilities rather than
just their disabilities,” Turner says.
This day program—or “Life Program” as it is referred—is
unique for each student. Every year, on the student’s birthday,
staff members sit down with students and their caretakers to
draw out a yearlong plan based on their goals, which vary from
simply tying their shoes to applying for a job.
Depending on these goals, they attend classes, explore the
community, volunteer at homeless shelters and orphanages and
are even employed in the community or on campus. Through
its various programs, SMSC strives to show that “people with
disabilities really can make a difference in society,” Turner
says.
Mark Rimland, former student, embodies this very principle

of SMSC. He has risen in his trade to become the resident
artist at the Edgeware Gallery in the Kensington District of
San Diego. An adult with autism, Rimland’s illustrations are
featured in a recently published children’s book “The Secret
Night World of Cats.”
Rimland’s work is also available at Sophie’s Gallery, which
displays student-made jewelry and art to benefit SMSC’s
programs. With three locations in El Cajon and San Diego,
students sell one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces and plant
arrangements made from the organic garden.
Program directors say they hope to see great development
of SMSC, which is primarily recognized in East County, in
the coming years. Jeff Redondo, event coordinator, explained
the desire for more exposure throughout San Diego County so
more disabled adults can have the opportunity to “live fuller
lives” and “participate in some of life’s simplest pleasures.”
The 35th Annual “Haute with Heart” Fashion Show and
Luncheon, produced by television personality Leonard
Simpson, is SMSC’s biggest event of the summer—and
this year should be better than ever. Held on Aug. 18 at the
Hilton San Diego Bayfront, this year’s show will feature
student musicians, dancers and artists, as well as live and silent
auctions. Redondo also said to expect “new, exciting things.”
SMSC is more than a day program for disabled adults. It is
an encouraging haven that allows students to seek their own
independence and to understand their potential.

It Just worKsVintana embraces the unconventional in North County.
Sometimes dining nirvana comes from unexpected
places — from a food truck or a hole-in-the-wall spot.
And sometimes it comes from a car dealership.
Located in the penthouse level of The Centre at Lexus
Escondido, Vintana offers modern California Cuisine
alongside a stunning panorama of rolling hills, stunning
skyscapes and the latest-model luxury cars.
The Centre at Lexus Escondido is a pleasantly odd place. In
addition to its role as a “super car dealership,” it includes a golf
simulator, business center, private library and planned retail
space, not to mention the oodles of square-footage available to
rent for special events like weddings.
Weddings? At a car dealership? It’s this very peculararity that
first draws people to Vintana.
“People are very surprised by it,” admits Cynthia Peterson,
the restaurant’s floor manager. “They wouldn’t have imagined
a restaurant of this caliber.”
Curiosity may draw people in, but it’s the food and ambience
that will make them stay. Vintana is the latest venture by the
Cohn Restaurant Group, which is no stranger to San Diego’s
dining scene. Owners of such top venues as The Prado and
Island Prime/C Level, Cohn has long been a county favorite.
And if the Cohn restaurants are a family, Vintana is the
quirky youngest sibling, displaying traces of her lineage while
marching to her own drumbeat.
“Everything about this North County location is
unconventional,” says David Cohn, who founded the Cohn
Restaurant Group with his wife Lesley. “After hearing about
the space over time, we weren’t sold on the idea, but the
moment we laid eyes on it, we immediately identified its
potential. We’re known for taking risks, and we embrace these
one-of-a-kind locations.”
The choice was a wise one. Everything about Vintana is light,
airy and fun, from the initial lift up the glass elevator to the
restaurant, to the friendly staff, to the open-air Lenai dining,
complete with firepits that urge diners to linger over cocktails.
The interior style is contemporary and chic without trying too
hard. The focal points of the dining room are the impressive
glass chandeliers and the 17-foot windows that capture
gorgeous vistas, no matter the time of day. Sunset views are
rivaled only by night-time cityscapes, lighted by the Bellagio-
style fountains below.
The cuisine at Vintana is just as original as its venue. The
menu is equally familiar and unexpected, mixing a variety
of trusted-and-true flavors with creative combinations. For
example, a signature dish that has been generating a lot of
buzz is the Blackberry-Glazed Bison Spareribs — fall-off-
the-bone ribs served on a bacon-pecan corn waffle with local

greens and a blackberry-bourbon gastrique.
“I wanted it to be original,” says Executive Chef Deborah
Scott, a partner of the Cohn Restaurant Group and the
mastermind behind Kemo Sabe, Indigo Grill and Island
Prime/C Level.
“The menu is diverse and eclectic, but I keep it grounded in
Southern flavors,” the Virginia native said.
For starters, don’t miss Chef Deborah’s Roasted Nut-
Crusted Brie, served with jalapeño jelly, honey-roasted garlic
and grilled ciabatta. Also popular is the Charcuterette,
which features bacon-wrapped dates, spiced mixed nuts, blue
cheese, pecorino, prosciutto, spicy giardiniera, spiced olives
and fig-molasses baguette. It’s the perfect complement to the
restaurant’s extensive beer and wine list, representing a wide
range of brews and vintages.
Scott’s signature entrees include the Black Pepper Bacon-
Wrapped Pork Tenderloin and the Pan-Seared Sea Bass —
white bean pistou, grilled artichoke, chorizo, roasted potatoes
and lemon-poppy seed brown butter, topped by a stone crab
wonton. There is also a choice of several fresh, sustainable
seafood dishes and signature steaks, as well as several inventive
side dishes like Pomegranate Molasses Brussels Sprouts and
Sweet Potato Pork Belly Hash.
To celebrate the arrival of a Cohn restaurant to inland
North County, Vintana brings some of the charm of its sister
restaurants to the area. Like 333 Pacific, the bar serves 102
different vodkas. And Island Prime’s Mud Pie — coffee ice
cream, Oreo cookie ganache and almond brittle — tops the
dessert menu. Pair it with a Mexi-Coco Coffee — Patron
Coconut, Kahlua, and coffee-pineapple whipped cream. Or
for a lighter finish, try the blueberry and peach crisp with star
anise-mascarpone ice cream.
Like its locale, Vintana is adventurous and edgy, ready to
prove that the unconventional works.
How? It just does.
Vintana is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more
information, visit cohnrestaurants.com/vintana.

man of God, man of busInEssSergio De La Mora, a man on a mission to turn hearts throughout San Diego.
Sergio De La Mora is a man of God. His posture,
countenance and speech all reflect his faith and
convictions. If he could not speak, there is no
doubt that he would find a creative and relevant way to
spread the word of God with more passion and conviction
than words could convey. But he can speak, and he has
used that gift to become the founding pastor, along with
his wife Georgina, of one of the nation’s Top 10 Fastest
Growing Churches (Outreach Magazine), Cornerstone
Church of San Diego.
De La Mora has already built his reputation as one of the
most inspirational Evangelical ministers on the West Coast,
and he is poised to continue growing his congregation into
one of the most innovative and influential in the nation—
which is no small feat considering his humble beginnings.
De La Mora’s family story is as American as apple pie.
His father, an immigrant from Guadalajara, left Mexico
seeking a better life. Despite only three years of schooling,
De La Mora’s father was able to build and successfully
manage his own landscape design company. By the time
Sergio was born, his father had already taken out a
mortgage on a home in Santa Barbara.
“My father’s work ethic was exceptional,” De La
Mora recalls, “and he was determined to make his family
successful.”
Despite his father’s success, Sergio struggled growing
up as the youngest of six children. With two older brothers
and three older sisters, attracting attention was always a
challenge.
“With my oldest brother, there is a picture of every
single event of his life,” he explains with a laugh, “but
pictures of Sergio are the day he was born and the day he
graduated from sixth grade.” Quite a contrast from today
as he now commands the attention of so many both in San
Diego and throughout churches across America.
Growing up, De La Mora and all of his siblings worked
for their father’s landscaping business. He remembers the
summers of his youth, spent working with his father: “As

The challenge, which runs parallel to the goals of his congregation, is “to live, love, and lead with your heart.”

long as I can remember, all of my brothers and sisters worked in the company,” De La Mora says, “My sisters would help my dad write out his invoices because their penmanship was better.”
The work was hard, but it did eventually pay off, as De La Mora now knows the names of almost every plant in California, which makes for excellent conversation during hikes — that is, when he can find the time.
A strong work ethic and strong family ties to the family business didn’t do much to quell Sergio’s pioneering spirit though, especially as a teenager. At the young age of 12, he was sponsored by two skateboard companies and proudly claims to have been the only Latin skateboarder in the area. But peer pressure got the better of De La Mora’s young, impressionable mind, and he was coerced into joining a local gang. This was a difficult time for him.
“I had lived a life of violence and I had tasted drugs at a very young age,” he says of his dark days, without much elaboration. His affinity for deviancy quickly faded, however, when De La Mora became a DJ at a local radio station, after which he soon experienced a revelation that would change the trajectory of his life forever.
De La Mora is a man of God. As if to prove that no means are too shallow to spread the gospel, De La Mora’s own journey started with a single piece of paper: “It was a flyer that induced me to go to a small church,” he
remembered, and that small church was the very church of which he would ultimately become a Youth Pastor and later be sent from to start Cornerstone Church of San Diego.
De La Mora quickly realized he could use his radio position to help share his newfound perspective on the world. He sold his old turntables and became a Christian radio host on Saturday nights, during hours that were definitely not prime time, but it was from there that his legacy began to take legs.
Sergio De La Mora is a man of God. But he is also a man of business. He has a business mind and his church, which is incorporated, is a church of business. But it is the business of turning hearts back to God that De La Mora now handles, and handles well enough to merit great praise from the considerable body of believers that have come to rely on him for guidance.
In his early twenties, along with his brothers, De La Mora inherited the family landscaping business. At the time, it had 15 employees, had earned his father enough to start buying apartment complexes in the area and was set to expand even more under proper guidance and judgment. Spurred by De La Mora’s entrepreneurial expertise, the business thrived and he reaped the benefits of his labor. By 28 years old, De La Mora had 30 people working for him, owned two homes, and several rental properties.

It was clear that the young millionaire had found a
secure footing in Santa Barbara when God called him
to relocate. “Our pastor asked us if we would consider
starting a new congregation in Chula Vista,” De La Mora
explains, “and I was really nervous about leaving.”
It was a defining moment for De La Mora, and one he
did not take lightly. As he confesses, “I asked myself if I
was to die today, would I die a happy man? And I realized
I would not say I would die a happy man if I didn’t plant
this church.”
The decision was made. And so plant he did, but this
time, he wasn’t planting for landscape design. An ambitious
De La Mora wanted to see his sapling grow quickly, so he
set out to grow it in the best way he knew how.
“I immediately joined the Chula Vista Chamber of
Commerce, because the first thing I wanted to do before
starting the church was get in touch with all the key
business leaders in the city.” On that first weekend in 1998,
De La Mora started two new companies: Sal and Brothers
Landscape, Inc. and Cornerstone Church of San Diego.
Sergio, the man of God and Sergio, the man of business
had met at last, and in this case, they made a truce.
Since its inception, Cornerstone Church of San Diego
has gone from a church of 7 people to 600 members
meeting at Hilltop High School, to now a multi-campus,
city- wide conglomerate with more than 6,000 members.
The current facility in National City, boasts a beautifully
renovated auditorium and 30-foot waterfall in the lobby,
recently won the prestigious award for First Place in
Commercial Design throughout all San Diego.
44
With the help of Lena Brion of Brion Design, De La Mora transformed the 26,000- square-foot multiplex theatre into a 50,000-square-foot 1,200-seat sanctuary/performing arts center with a professional quality lighting sound system with which De La Mora’s wife, Georgina, leads worship each week to the growing congregation.
Much of De La Mora’s success is due directly to his wife’s encouragement. “In a moment of transparency, I told my wife I didn’t want to start this church in San Diego,” he says with great emotion, “I asked her, ‘Who would hear me preach?’ And she said ‘I would come and hear you preach,’ And that was enough for me.” Building the church has always been, in all respects, a team effort, with both of them at the helm.
As the momentum behind Sergio and Cornerstone Church of San Diego began to grow, Baker books approached De La Mora and offered him a book deal. The result was “The Heart Revolution: Experience the Power of a Turned Heart,” released in 2011. A promotional tour followed, in which De La Mora visited over 52 major cities across the nation, into Mexico and even overseas to Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand. The book, according to De La Mora, is not so much an autobiography as it is a church manifesto.
“It was conversational and it was written so that people could take the 40-Day Heart Challenge,” explains De La
Mora, whose challenge encourages readers to “live, love and lead from your heart.”
“The Heart Revolution” has become the rallying cry for Cornerstone Church of San Diego. The idea is broad and inclusive, but in its most distilled iteration, it is a “holistic approach to living a healthy life” that includes “becoming physically healthy, intellectually healthy, emotionally healthy, spiritually healthy, relationally healthy and financially healthy.”
Cornerstone Church of San Diego currently has campuses in National City, La Jolla, Escondido in San Diego as well as in Arizona and Mexico City. De La Mora speaks weekly at the National City and La Jolla campuses, and broadcasts weekly via video in Escondido. The target communities in Escondido, and especially in National City are historically under-served, and the church does a great deal of community-focused events to provide a platform for hope through life counseling and assistance.
The church in La Jolla, however, is one that is particularly close to De La Mora’s heart. Growing up in the affluent city of Santa Barbara, he retains a special bond with affluent communities. His strong conviction is that “in a community like La Jolla, what people often ignore is the relational pain that exists in the hearts of youth and families.” This is the universal pain, as he describes, that happens “behind closed doors,” and for which he believes

the gospel is the “universal cure.”This past summer, De La Mora partnered with TV
Personality and Fashion Forward’s, Leonard Simpson, to host the Beyond the Runway Fashion Show to raise funds for a 5 Day Surf Camp in La Jolla. In its inaugural session, De La Mora and his team of licensed instructors gave 60 underprivileged youth from throughout San Diego, some of whom had never even touched a surfboard before, the opportunity to explore the beautiful beaches of San Diego while strengthening their confidence, physical endurance, and leadership skills. For every one of the participants, this has been a summer of transformation and renewed confidence for their future.
Right now, De La Mora is looking forward to the upcoming skate camp that Cornerstone is hosting this fall, and searching for a suitable husbands for his daughters, starting with his eldest who just recently earned her PH.D at Arizona State University.
Sergio feels at last that he has finally, in his own words, made the leap from “success to significance”, a leap that was only made possible doing what he says was the most
difficult thing for him to do in his life, “following God into the unknown.” It was a difficulty which — for him — lay in dealing with intangibles, “When you follow God to start a new church, there isn’t a product you’re selling, there isn’t anything tangible you can base success on, so I had to come up with a new definition of success.” That new definition of success, Sergio describes, is “fulfilling your God-given mission in life.” And for this man of God and a man of business, Sergio De La Mora has found that new definition of success in turning the hearts of youth and families by starting a Heart Revolution throughout San Diego and throughout the nation.

ThE wEighTED TRUThBeginners need not be intimidated by weight training.
Have you ever walked through a gym and been
intimidated by all the dumbbells, barbells and
machines that put you in awkward positions best
reserved for privacy of your own home? well, you’re not alone.
If you’ve never lifted weights before, it can be daunting, and when
you consider the different types of exercises, the amount of weight
to lift, the number of repetitions and sets and the amount of rest
between sets, you practically need a Ph.D. to understand it all.
But don’t worry: muscles don’t know the difference between a
dumbbell, a gallon of milk or a suitcase. Lifting weights in a gym
is not much different than lifting your four-year-old to reach the
monkey bars. when done correctly and combined with other
exercise, weight lifting can change the way you look.
while many people begin lifting weights to improve their physical
appearance and self-image, it has many functional benefits as
well. Stronger muscles improve posture and coordination, support
joints and reverse the loss of muscle tissue that comes with aging.
weight training also increases bone density, reducing the risk of
osteoporosis.
many people stop weight training because they don’t see
immediate results. Although physiological changes begin to occur
after your first session, these changes are mostly neuromuscular
in origin for the first couple of months, so your brain becomes
better at “speaking” to your muscles and recruiting them for tasks,
much like changing from a dial-up modem to DSL cable. to see
external changes in your muscles, you need to stick with weight
training for a few months.
to get started, follow these simple guidelines.

What exercises should i do?
Although gyms offer an array of weight machines and free
weights to train your body’s more than 600 muscles, start with
just one exercise for each major muscle group (see Sample
Strength training Program).
machines guide movements and are designed to change
resistance throughout your joints’ range of motion to
accommodate the joint angles at which your muscles are
stronger. Free weights, on the other hand, cannot change
their resistance while you lift them — a five-pound dumbbell
remains five pounds throughout the whole movement.
while it is always better to train movement than to train
muscle, beginners should start with machines to train the
major muscles and then train more specific movements with
free weights. to minimize fatigue, train large before small
muscle groups, alternating between the lower and upper body.
hoW much Weight should i lift?
First, find out how strong you are. Ask a qualified trainer
at your gym to test your maximal strength by finding out the
most weight you can lift once, called your one-rep max.
If you want a leaner look with greater muscle endurance,
lift lighter weights, about 60 to 70 percent of your one-rep
max. For stronger muscles with an increase in muscle size, lift
heavier weights, about 80 to 90 percent. If you cannot get
your maximal strength tested, choose a weight that will make
you fatigued by the end of each set.
If you’re a woman who is worried about getting bulky, don’t
fret — it probably won’t happen. Since women have much
less testosterone and other muscle-building hormones than
men, they are less prone to getting bigger muscles. Genetics
ultimately dictate your specific response to weight training.
The hard-bodied women you see on the covers of fitness
57
magazines are self-selected for weight training because they
are uniquely and genetically suited for it.
hoW many repetitions should i do?
the number of times you repeat the movement in each set
depends on your goals. If you want a leaner look with greater
endurance, do 15 to 20 reps per set. If you want slight muscle
growth and definition with moderate gains in strength, do six
to 12 reps per set. For bigger, stronger muscles, do five to eight
reps per set.
hoW many sets should i do?
As a beginner, one set is just as effective as multiple sets for
strength gains, especially when you continue until you can
no longer do another rep, which is when all muscle fibers are
recruited. However, if you want increased muscle endurance and
a more defined look rather than increased strength, do more sets
to increase the total amount of work and calories expended. In
either case, increase the number of sets after two to three months.
For a leaner look with greater endurance, take short, one-
minute rests. For muscle growth and increased strength, take a
longer, three to five-minute rests.
other Weight training methods
when you lift weights, microscopic tears occur in your
muscle fibers. Given enough time, these fibers heal to become
stronger. the greater the training stimulus — which comes
from lifting heavier weights or doing more reps, sets and
workouts — the greater the amount of muscle damage and
subsequent adaptation.
For a greater training stimulus, you can try “super setting,”
using multiple exercises for the same muscle group and moving
from one exercise to another with little or no rest between sets.
You can also use pyramid training, which is multiple sets of
one exercise, starting with lighter weights and many reps, with
successive sets increasing in weight and decreasing in reps
followed by decreasing weight and increasing reps. A third
option is circuit training, which incorporates one set each
of eight to 12 exercises done in succession with light weights
(40 to 60% one-rep max), 10 to 20 reps, and little or no rest
between exercises, with the circuit usually repeated two to
three times.
So when it comes to starting weight training, don’t sweat it.
the key is just to get started.
