Most fitness centres see an increase in memberships this time of year and Total Concept. Fitness Centre in Exeter is no differ- ent. - I am hardly the one to give advice on how to keep physically fit, but I do know a little bit:about working with weights. I have been ',working on and off with them for close to five years now. But, be- cause losing weight is such a common New Year's resolution, I thought about going down to Total Concept to talk to a certified in- structor about thc benefits of lifting weights to help you lose. weight rather than have me babble on about it.. I thought that would be a better idea to help you make up your mind if you are a little hesitant about joining because it might seem too much like work. Lou Ravclle, a fitness instructor, said they have sold 17 gift certif- icates as Christmas presents and have had six people join since Christmas. So this column is alreadytoo late foriliem. One of the biggest advantages of Total Concept is having it in Ex- eter. Not many towns the size of Exeter have a fitness centre like that, and so the first advantage' is you won't have to drive to London to work out. . And weight lifting is not preferred by one sex over another. Ra- velte said it is a very close split between male and female members. The youngest member is 14 and the oldest is in her mid 60's. (They don't allow any members under 14 years of age): When asked about toning tables, Ravelle advises to use them as a way to get started and then work up to regular exercise. Total Concept features several thousand pounds of free weights, six stationary bikes, a Universal machine, sauna, whirlpool, acro- bics, self-defense training, a tanning bed and massage therapy, which is done privately from Total Concept but has become very popular. Ravclle said he tells people who come to look the place over but are apprehensive. about joining to take the one month membership just to get started. He always gives first-time lookers a free pass to use the facilities. Surprisingly many people join right away. Ravclle said they are fortunate because they have no real competition in town and you won't have to face any hard sales pitch like you would if you ventured to London. He said the most popular membership is the yearly, because it offers savings over the one month, three month and six month memberships. When you first come in and want to join Ravclle said he would ask you what exercise you really hate and strike it off the list of ex- ercises t� do . They offer personal service. Any new person wanting to be put on a workout program will be and Ravelle and all other in- structors will work with you as much as you want to help you get' started. He said afters you get a workout to your liking you should start working on the cardiovascular system and endurance, on the bikes, treadmillland rowing machine. Then you are ready to start working on your body. Ravclle recommends working on your whole body right away. After you have been at it for a while you can work on specific body.pauts each time you come in. One of the biggest problems people run -into is they expect to sec results right away and when they don't they get frustrated and quit. Ravclle said it should take six or seven weeks before you start seeing any results and to get the maximum benefits you should be working out three or four times a week and, at all costs, do not quit! I quit for about six months once and regretted it because it is that much harder to get back into it Ravclle said 90-95 percent of the people who join Total Concept want to lose weight and just lifting weights is only part of what you have to do to achieve this. You also have to watch what you cat..To- tal Concept is now able to help you do this. By filling out a data sheet a new computer system can give you diet recommendations, with caloric breakdowns, to help you achieve yourweight-loss goal and it will also give you a work out program. Tuesday marked thc one-year anniversary for Total Concept and . Ravclle said they have had a successful first year but they also have big plans for the future. Plans before Exeter council right now are to extend their current building to include a racquetball and squash court, larger weight room and aerobics arca and a non -alcohol lounge. As soon as council gives its approval,. construction will be- gin and they hope to have everything completed by spring. Ravclle is confident that after it is completed that Total Concept will be the place to hangout in Exeter. i Mixed Shuffleboard EXETER - The Exeter Mixed Shuffleboard players met Wednesday, December 18.

The Bells took five penalties in the game including a bench minor. Port Stanley cashed in with fou power -play goals enroute to their, victory. Thebench minor penalty was the result of objections to an off -side goal scored by .Port Stanley. "The linesman was clearly out of posi- tion and missed the call" said inter- im coach. Mike Soldan. Trainer Bill Inson pointed this out to the referee who had come to the side of the bench. "The off -side goal cost 'us two as the referee' assessed a bench minor to our objections and Pon Stanley scored on the power play."
