Fitness Programs for Fall 2009
(Click on titles for more information)

This program involves an intensive abdominal and overall core strengthening workout that will not only help you to develop greater core strength but it could also help to alleviate common conditions, such as lower back pain, associated with poor core strength. In this class you will learn a wide variety of exercises that will help you tone your mid-section. We will not only focus on the abdominals, but also the muscles of the lower back, butt, as well as other stabilizing muscle groups.

* It is recommended that students purchase a mat, such as a yoga mat, or bring a towel as many exercises will be done on the floor.

Running "First Steps" ►

Running "The Next Step" ►

These sessions are a step up from First Steps. In this class, a more goal-specific approach to running will be encouraged. Students will learn to set goals, incorporate them into a training plan, and will work to achieve them. Whether you're training for a 5k, a half-marathon, a marathon, or just want to improve your running, this program will help you take a more focused approach to your training.

This high-intensity program is designed for sports enthusiasts or those seeking variety in their normal workout routine. We will focus on improving overall body strength, speed, and agility through a plyometrics based, circuit-type workout. Exercises will include things such as ladders, medicine ball, and theraband routines. If you are looking for an exercise routine that will burn calories, wake you up in the morning and give you energy for the rest of your day then this is definitely the place to be.
 

Yoga ►
Mondays & Thursdays 12pm - 12:45pm

Regular Yoga asana (posture) practice improves stamina, flexibility, cardiovascular performance, muscle tone, circulation, and respiration. Other benefits of asana include increased coordination, balance and may alleviate lower back and leg pain while improving poor posture. Sessions also incorporate breathing and relaxation.
