From Dance Rhythms to Yogafusion: New Fitness Courses at the Sports Center

This year's spring semester sports courses include three new aerobics/step programs. The Physical Education and Sports Center has added "Everybody Dance," "Abs & Gymball" and "Yogafusion" to the wide variety of courses already being offered.

"Everybody Dance" is for everyone who likes rhythm and music. It's an enjoyable fat-burning program that involves dancing to hip hop and Latin rhythms. The “Abs & Gymball” program is based on stretching with gymballs in order to strengthen and tone muscles as well as to improve balance, coordination and mobility. This workout helps you burn off body fat at the same time as it strengthens, stabilizes and increases mobility throughout the pelvic and lower-back regions.

The Center is also offering classes in "Yogafusion," which is yoga-based exercise combined with elements of Pilates. It engages the mind/body connection and activates the body's "powerhouse" through breathing techniques, while reducing physical and mental stress.

Filiz Gür, the Aerobics/Step programs supervisor, invites everyone to take these courses in order to become more active in a safe, effective and enjoyable way. She notes that the Physical Education and Sports Center can help you choose a program that suits your individual fitness level.

For more information about the programs available, you can call ext. 1993 or 3186.
