Fitness? It's great . . . at least I know I can take my shirt offp' Ed Cho VITAL SIG The obsession with physical fitness forced stu- dents to continue their auest for fitness and well- being outside the schools regular athletic programs. Ranging from walking and running to weight iifting and aerobics, Trojans tor- mented their bodies for the best possible health. The old saying UNO pain, no gain was quite true, but who said pain couldn't be fun? Benefits such as staying trim, Keeping fit, and feel- ing good were brought into the picture, but FUN 26 Student Llfeflfitness played the biggest role of alll Almost every night, ex- cept Friday and Saturday, Briarwood was packed with students having fun and working out. ln the nautilus section of the club, David Hemphill worked out on each machine. Ann Smith and Melissa Poliquin pedaled long miles while Jennifer Dundas towed down imaginary rivers. Aside from the fitness aspect, students found socializing was an added feature to their fitness pur- suits. Briarwood and Salis- bury Country Club were places to hang out and get physical and maybe even meet someone new. This was especially true for Patrick Moran, looking at female exerci- sors. I like their little out- fits, referring to their skimpy leotards. Hours of sweat and toil resulted in success. The t'Jane Fondas and Ar- nold Schwarzeneggarsu not only became healthy bodies, but social ones as well.
