Jon Prigge teaches UNI students the beat of aerobic exercis- ing as one of the minicourses both fall and spring. the Jane Fonda Workout emphasizing particular parts of the body, with her own routines which included exercising the entire body. Warming up before and resting (cooling down) after the workout is also important to avoid straining muscles. Aerobics is attractive to people, according to Prigge, since it is unique in that it combines high-energy music, usually rock and roll, with exercise. One student, Carol Bruder, also saw another advantage. I don't like to do aerobics alone. It's better to be in a room with others.” She took the minicourse instead of the univer- sity course to get the same workout for less money. Another student, Nanette Canfield, took the minicourse to lose weight after the birth of her child. Prigge said aerobics is a good way to lose weight if combined with the proper nutrition and diet. After one of the classes she commented, I’ve had a rough day, but I feel really good after tonight! It's my high.

She also taught drafting quilt patterns and color involved in designing a quilt. The small number of people in the class allowed Flanscha to work with them on an individual basis, working with them more closely on demonstrating techniques. She said a lot of friendships developed informally and members supported each other in their work. — George McCrory Giving a demonstration, instructor Vk Gibson tries to relate the proper pro- cedure for fly tying to students Jerry Ries and Janet Hagen. 23
