Fitness Center

This is where we went for our fitness evaluations and to participate in fitness classes including, zumba, stretching, rebounding, and salsa. Water fitness was held in the large pool and yoga classes were held in the spiritual healing building. I passed my fitness evaluations with flying colors, they were impressed with my ability to do 40 push ups. My body mass index was also normal as well as my body fat. I did show signs of dehydration and was educated on the fact that I should be drinking 1/2 my body weight in ounces each day. Yikes! That's a lot of water. I also did very good in my flexibility test, it probably helped that I was a gymnast as a child. I could use improvement on my aerobic fitness routine. It showed that my bodies ability to carry oxygen to the muscles was only in the "average" range. My doctor suggested that I engage in different kinds of aerobic activities and drink an all natural sports drink called "Rev 3" by Usana to improve this. I was also advised to take Acetyl-l-Carnitine by Pure Encapsulations after my aerobic work outs to help in my recovery.
