Tiijmu SURVIVAL FITTEST 1 CARDIO CRAZE A fantastic, heart-pumping workout offered the option of high- or low-impact moves. WORLD BEAT A fun dance with moves inspired from all over the world; Belly Dance, Latin, Salsa, African, Irish, Caribbean and more! KUKAWA A workout that blended African, Latin and Caribbean dance moves. ATHLETIC CONDITIONING A strength and cardio workout that got students ' hearts pumping. KICKBOXING A high-energy workout based on kickboxing moves and drills. Participants learned to punch and kick with the best. HIP-HOP Students danced in an energetic workout. BOOGIE FEVER Participants grooved like back in the disco days. UREC OFFERED ITS FIRST OUTDOOR GROUP FITNESS CL7 SS mandysmoot writer £ ■ t was a beautiful day and a great change I to exercise outside, said sophomore Elise I Shellenberger, one of the 47 participants who took part in Fit JMU, the University Recreation Center ' s (UREC) newest group fitness class. Warm spring weather permitted students and faculty to scope out a spot on the UREC turf in April, where group fitness instructors took turns teaching the 90-minute class. The sampler reached out to individuals of all interests. Students and faculty had the opportunity to participate in various classes, including cardio craze, world beat, kukawa, athletic conditioning, kickboxing, hip hop, boogie fever and yoga. The participants weren ' t the only ones who enjoyed the wide variety of fitness classes. Graduate Kellie Hayes, a group fitness instructor, had just as much fun teaching. It was great to have the chance to interact with participants and watch the other seniors teach for one of the last times before we graduate, said Hayes. Hayes even felt that Fit IMU had the potential to become a university tradition. We had a great crowd that was very energetic and seemed like they were enjoying themselves. I love to teach when there are large groups because the energy is always high, said graduate Jen Everdale, also a group fitness instructor. 1 think it is a great way to introduce our participants to new class formats and get them excited about taking other classes, she added. Fit JMU also seemed to be a hit among students. 1 definitely think UREC should do this annually, said Shellenberger. 1 think we have something to shoot for now, said Holly Wade, coordinator of group fitness and wellness. We ' ve established a baseline and can build from that. Wade, who had been with UREC since 2006, trained the group fitness instructors and oversaw the fitness classes. She had previously taught numerous classes herself, including boogie fever. Wade enjoyed the event just as much as the participants, evident by her gold, sparkling shirt she While other students perform crunches, a fitness instructor keeps her heart rate elevated by running in place. Aerobics were incorporated in classes such as athletic conditioning and cardio craze. % . 4-tW 1-5 YOGA This class combined yoga postures and modern fitness for a mind body workout that increased strength, endurance and flexibility. r 26 thebluestone20 K.
