The physical fitness craze has hit North
America and with it has come an increased
number of fitness -related injuries,
"People are a lot more physical fitness
aware these days and that's good, but they're
goingat it too strenuously," says Drusilla
Leitch, an area fitness instructor and
registered fitness appraiser.
"It's great to exercise but a lot of people
are getting hurt because they are going at it
wrong, or because they are trying to
compete with everyone else."
Mrs. Leitch says she herself was guilty of
approaching fitness wrong. Now, she says,
she has a new respect for exercise, and a new
awareness of its benefits and its detriments.
"I didn't realize you were dealing with a
person's body when you exercised. I was just
so anxious to say, hey, I can do that, I didn't
give much thought to what I was doing to any
body, or to anyone else's. When I think back
to then, and then think about everything I
know now I say to myself, hey, you could have
killed somebody."
Now, for that very reason, Mrs. I.eitch says
Ontario is trying to come up with a sports
certification program. A program which she
says will ensure people who teach fitness
actually know what they're doing.
The Government of Canada, Fitness and
Amateur Sport, has also come up with a
CHANGE OF
OWNERSHIP
fitness conscious
Standardized Test of Fitness, which people
can take to find out just how fit. they are, and
how much physical activity they can safely
assume without harming themselves. Mrs.
Leitch is qualified to give people that test.
"I came from a generation that wore
girdles. My mother wore a corset. I don't
think there are many girls now who wear a
girdle and that's because everyone, -is more
fitness conscious. That's great. W e need to
exercise and condition ourselves. But we've
gotten into a fitness fad which we think
means beautiful leotards, 20 -minute work-
outs and lots of stuff over your head and
arms. We've forgotten the real meaning of
aerobic, which is with oxygen, and think we
have to do a lot of jumping and stuff. W e want
a gorgeous body and think we have to work
like hell to get it," she says.
Mrs. Leitch adds too many people are
attempting to do exercises that are beyond
their capabilities. A fitness appraisal, she
says shows people what they are capable of
and helps a person improve against that.
"You shouldn't be competing with the
person next to you. He -she might be 20 years
younger and 15 pounds lighter. You should
find out what it is you can do, and be proud of
any improvements you make.
"Exercise should never hurt. If you hurt,
that's your body's way of telling you you've
done something wrong. And you should
listen to your body."
Mrs. Leitch herself got into fitness first as a
pupil at the Vanastra Recreation Centre. Her
transformation to teacher came about quite
accidently, and now she says she is addicted
to the idea of fitness. Because of that she adds
she is also addicted to increasing her
knowledge about physical fitness.
"I taught, but once I started I realized just
how much I didn't know. People would ask

Track and Field athletes from Seaforth
District High School competed with those
from other area high schools in the annual
Huron -Perth Track and Field Meet, held May
12, in Goderich.
All the local athletes put forth a first-class
effort and several finished among the leaders
in their events.
In the Junior girls division, Joan Dodds
finished sixth in the 100 -metre run and fourth
in the triple jump; Tracy Bedard placed fifth
in triple jump and Cindy Sorenson came sixth
in the 80 -metre hurdles.
Dave Vantyghem finished fourth in Junior
boys discus and Kevin Cooper placed fourth
in the triple jump.
Kendra Papple scored a fifth in Senior girls
triple jump.
John McCowan placed fourth in
boys triple jump.

is you're doing with the body, the names o

are good on what type of floor, and all about
nutrition."
All that information has helped Mas. Leitch
in her fitness appraisals.
So many people she says want to lose
weight and to diet, to the point where it
becomes a problem in their lives. What a lot
don't realize is more often than not they end
up starving their bodies and doing them-
selves more harm than good.
Dieting, she says, may have a smaller
effect on weight loss than expected. Instead it
tends to lower a person's Basal Metabolic
Rate (BMR), which is the rate at which the
body uses energy when resting. A resting
body is actually quite busy - pumping blood,
repairing tissue, digesting food, regulating
internal temperature, etc. It has been
compared to an idling car - not going
anywhere but still burning fuel to keep the
engine running.
BMR is of practical interest from the point
of view of weight control. The BMR tells a
person the number of kilojoules their body
will burn even if it remains completely at rest. doesn't mean you have to log or even attend
