If you want to exercise but can’t get motivated, head to the University Center and check out the UC group fitness classes.
Exercising in a group is a great way to keep motivated. The UC offers a number of 45-minute fitness classes ranging from dance classes to water aerobics. Classes are held in the aerobics room or the UC pool.
The list of classes includes: Complete Cardio, Butt & Gut, Body Sculpt, Kick Boxing & Core, Strength & Conditioning, Zumba and Water Aerobics. These classes are designed to work up a sweat and help to burn calories.
Classes are scheduled throughout the day so that students can get an afternoon or an evening workout.
Rachel May, Director of Wellness, said, “They are a great opportunity for students, faculty and staff to get a varied amount of workouts at a specific time and place.”
May teaches the Body Sculpt class and the Butt & Gut class.
“Once you get in class and start to work out, the time goes by pretty quickly. The classes are designed for all skill levels. We try to make to make it accessible to everyone. It is also a great way to meet people from across campus, and a great way to commit yourself to getting a good workout in,” said May.
“I would encourage people to check it out if you are looking for improved fitness results. Results are all about variety,” explained May.
In order to actually see results, you need as much variety within your individual workout as possible. Doing the same old routine on the treadmill or elliptical only maintains your current weight status.
