Feeling a bit of cabin fever after last week? Fallen off the track to health that you were sticking to for the two weeks prior to the The Great Blizzard of 2010? Me too.
Before (and since) the week off, my colleague and I started back up into a workout routine that we had fallen off back in 2006 after we first met. But this time, we threw a little bit extra into the mix. We began attending Group Classes provided through the Eppley Recreation Center (the ERC).
These are FREE group classes offered at all times of the days and focus on a variety of topics. They are all taught by current students who have been trained and are actually pretty good at what they do. We attend Cycling and Abs, a 45 minute intense cycle and a 20 minute ab workout, all while listening to the latest club remixes on Monday afternoons. On Tuesday, we go to Abs and Lower Back and Stretch and Strengthen, both of which tired me out beyond my own belief. Thursdays the ERC offers what they call Happy Hour. This is a rotating class, so no two weeks are the same. Last week, we did Boot Camp. Ouch! But there are a variety of things like dance cardio classes, step classes, etc. Friday we do a thing called the BodyWedge which is this foam wedge that you do a variety of cardio and core workouts with.
Whatever you interests, if you want to get fit, do it fast, mix it up and have fun, you need to check out the Group Fitness classes. They are offered in the ERC, in The School of Public Health right next door, in Cole Field House, and in Ritchie Coliseum.
Other classes include Yoga, Pilates, Step, Cardio Kickboxing and more.

And remember, it's all FREE! All you have to do is stop by the Guest Services desk and get your Aerobics card. Bring your card and student ID to each class.
