Times-Advocate, 1999-03-10, Page 1616' Exeter Th►es.AdvoeW Wednesday. March 10.1999 Sports It's here — Tae Bo mania hits Exeter EXETER— Tae Bo has kicked its way into Exeter in a big way. Tae Bo incorporates kick boxing and karate moves into a cardiovas- cular workout. It's all the rage and classes fill up soon after they're announced. There isn't an open Tae Bo spot in London and the craze has landed in Exeter. In fact, the demand for Tae Bo has forced Exeter's Step Aerobics to add Friday and Saturday cardio kickbox sessions to its already full Tuesday and Thursday night classes. "People are trying like crazy to get into a Tae Bo class," Step Aerobic's Sharon Steciuk said. But why the mania? "You get such a differ- ence in your body in a short time," Steciuk said. "It just works all parts of your body so well." Tae Bo tones and tightens muscles all over the body and even pro- vides practitioners with those 'six pack' abdomi- nal muscles everyone's after. Tae Bo also helps peo- ple get the lead out. "It energizes you," Steciuk said. "That's the best thing about exer- cise." Participating in the Step Aerobics cardio kickbox sessions will also do wonders for your self esteem. "It gives you a feeling of empowerment," Steciuk said. "You feel you can conquer the world." The mania has taken hold of a wide range of people from adolescents to seniors. "It's absolutely fun," Steciuk said. "It's a mania. You have to get on the wagon!" Although Step P Aerobic's Tuesday and Thursday classes are full, Steciuk is extending the craze to Fridays starting at 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays at noon. Eight classes cost $50. For more information on Tae Bo mania, call Steciuk at 235-1289. SPORTS DIVOTS Sherwoods 3 -on -3 HENSALL For most hockey leagues, April marks the end of the season. But not in Hensall.
