Page 4/The Battalion/Wednesday, September 28, 1983 Aerobics programs available by Jamie Hataway Battalion Reporter In a fitness-conscious effort to escape from the strains of work and studies, many people have turned to aerobic exercise. Texas A&M offers aerobic exer cise programs for anyone in terested in a better-toned body or in need of relaxation. One place to look when sear ching for a good program is the Texas A&M Aerobics Club. This club offers classes for faculty, staff, students and the commun- *ity and provides different level “courses for varying levels of “athletic ability and fitness. «* “We try to provide a well -rounded fitness program,” Rus- Jty Higham, aerobics program “coordinator at Texas A&M, *said. - Those trying aerobics for the t first time probably need to check into the noon aerobics or even ing aerobics class. Promotion of flexibility and muscle tone is the goal of these indoor exercise classes, provid ing a slow pace to allow improve ment of cardiovascular fitness, not inducement of a heart- attack, Higham said. Backsliders who have been in decent shape within the past year but need re-conditioning should enroll in the evening “Not Ready for Prime Time Movers” class. This class has the same emph asis as the other two but is a dan- cercise class with a faster pace. The evening body dynamics class is for people who are ready for big-time action. No beer- bellies in this one, folks. This is a vigorous exercise program with dancercise and strenuoils body toning all to the tune of modern music. The evening aerobic swim ming and water exercises class is a two-in-one program in which a person can choose between aerobic swimming distance workouts or water exercises in creasing flexibility and muscle tone. The aerobics club programs are taught by students enrolled in an exercise technology option in the health and physical educa tion department. Classes are $15 to $25 for 10 weeks of exercise. The health and physical education depart ment can be contacted for infor mation. Graduate students who have run short of money but desper ately need to get out of the labs, libraries and offices, are in luck if interested in aerobic exercise. Donnajean Anderson, secret ary of the graduate student council, instructs a free aerobics class for graduate students. Anderson started the class at the beginning of last summer, but because no one knew about it, not many people attended. Now more than 50 people are signed up for the class. Anderson, a third-year gra duate student and research assistant in the chexistry depart ment, said at first most of the people in the class were from the chemistry department, but now people from many departments are attending. “The purpose of the Gradu ate Student Council is to provide social activities for graduate stu dents and let people meet others outside their own department,” Anderson said. “It’s (aerobics exercise) is a good way for these students under pressure to get away and clear their minds,” she said. Anderson doesn’t charge a fee because she said teaching the class is a good way for her to stay in shape and she enjoys doing it. Her class is designed to pro vide exercise for people with varying fitness levels. Ken Fredeen, president of the graduate student council who also helps Anderson lead the class, said the class allows the beginning aerobics exerciser an easy way to learn the patterns and exercises, while at tne same time giving more advanced peo ple a good workout. Workouts are at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays in 263 G. Rollie White Coliseum. DELTA UPSILOA FRATERMTT Announces the Establishment of a chapter at Texas A&M University.
