Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-08-31, Page 9Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, August 31, 1988—Page 9 —You can't take fitness lying down -- Due to increasing interest in fitness pro- gram the Lucknow Recreation Depart- ment is introducing a fall session of fitness classes. They are introducing Diane Phillips (McBride) as your instructor. She is replacing Helen Maclntyre who is school bound. Diane is fully qualified as a fitness in- structor and will endeavor to expand our fitness programs. We regret the multi purpose recreation room with its shock absorbing floor in the new Sports Complex will not be opera- tional for the beginning of this session but we are seeking permission to hold classes in the Lucknow Central Public School. There are many reasons for wanting to become more fit. Many figure -conscious women will see it as a way to lose or con- trol weight. Others may see it as an oppor- tunity to get out of the house. Fitness can benefit us at all ages. Exercise can aid in the control of weight by expending calories. Weight loss occurs in two ways when exercise and controlled eating habits are put into place. This think- ing is a much healthier way to take off weight and keep it off than crash dieting. Perhaps your weight is just fine but you are not happy with the appearance of your thighs, for example. Exercise, much less expensive than extreme medical techni- ques such as liposuction, can be beneficial by toning the ham strings and quadraceps. This would give you a more balanced ap- pearance. The same goes on other body parts - buttocks, hips and chest areas all can benefit from consistent exercise. This is not to say that we can all plan to look like Bridgette Neilson, (exercise class does not increase height!) but that we can work towards looking our absolute personal best. As time flies by all the more quickly, our metabolic rate does just 'the opposite, which brings us to the next benefit of exer- cise. Our metabolic rate slows down with age which means that our calorie re- quirements ,lessen, causing pounds to add on if lifestyle habits are not changed. 13y increasing physical activity, we can COMBINED HOLIDAY SCHEDULE OF SERVICES Sept. 4 — Lucknow Presbyterian Rev.

Older adults would do well to participate in an exercise program. Besides aiding in weight control, regular exercise can con- tribute to strengthening the heart, increas- ing capacity, muscle strength and joint flexibility. All of these benefits of exercise can assist you in remaining self-sufficient. Another component of aging which has circulated in the media of late is osteoporosis or bone deterioration. Physical activity has been shown to ac- tually decrease the rate of osteoporosis. If there is a history of this in your family, fitness is for you. It can help. There are so many benefits of exercise that it is hard to understand why we don't. We are too busy, we get enough of a workout running after our children, we'll all feel silly jumping around in a room - whatever your excuse - reconsider it. We cannot be busy if we are not fit and able. Exercise can actually make you feel more energetic. Ask your friends who are taking Aquafit this summer. As for feeling silly - after your first class we hope everyone will feel at ease. The only downside to exercise is that for us to obtain any of these benefits, we must participate a minimum of three times weekly. But that's not so bad - we plan to make this program interesting, varied and en- joyable for everyone. To find out what class best suits you and your aspirations, select one below. If you have any concerns about starting a fitness program, consult your physician. Stretch and Tone: A gentle exercise class, 35 minutes long. It is ideal for those with knee or back problems, older adults, and those looking to get into a fitness routine. Exercises taught increase flex- ibility in joints and tone muscles. How about it - can your thighs use it? Par- ticipate two times a week on Monday and Thursday evenings at 6:15 p.m. for max- imum benefit. Activation: This will be a high energy workout for those with an eye on the bathroom scale! It will include 15-20 minutes of cardiovascular work which strengthens the heart muscle, while burn- ing calories. Specific muscle groups will be worked for overall toning benefit during this 45 minute class, held at 7:00 p.m. on Monday and Thursday. The eight week session is to begin Mon- day, September 12. Cost is $25.00. We en- courage women of Lucknow and area to come out, socialize and benefit your body!
