B mi W Z ag. W--V -f GETTING A KICK OUT OF LIFE: Will Corrum, a blue belt, demonstrates a kick. Will is a member at Karate International in Winston-Salem. The martial arts was a great way to keep fit. W 1 I I By Korey Shronts at? Out of shape? Not West For- syth students. The prospect of stay- ing slim and in good health was an ideal goal for students at West. Weightlift- ing, aerobics, running, and martial arts were a number of ways students stayed in shape during the year. Why would someone engage in strenu- ous activities? To stay fit of course, but there were other reasons. Carol Samuelson lifted weights to work out frustrations and to keep in shapef' Members of the varsity and junior varsity basketball teams were encouraged to stay fit throughout the year. Mr. Hurley said, The basketball play- ers are asked to keep log books in which they record their workouts in the off-sea- son. They also participate in the summer league in Winston-Salem and many took part in our school conditioning program. We encourage them to work on weights and basketball skills during the off-season. Most of them do and this has helped our program. Mrs. Gilbert doesn't put her athletes on 38fF1tness a training program, but she does discuss with them how important diet can be to help their performance. Even teachers weren't left out of the health craze. Mr. Newton had this to say, I, for the last ten years or so, run four or five days per week averaging 30-40 miles in a week's time. I also enter four to six road races per year. Staying fit could be a tedious process. In order to get any results from excercising, a routine must be followed. Carol Samuelson commented, The first time I went in to Clemmons Nautilus they showed me a normal workout for a typical female and from that I have adapt- ed a routine with equal upper and lower body excercisesf' Though the work was hard, the benefits were worth it. Whether students set indi- vidual goals and maintained a personal conditioning program, or worked out to coincide with a team sport, fitness was definitely in .
