"The soul that is within me no man can degrade."
-Frederick Douglas

It's important to get a good workout--everyone's time is valuable.  But it is equally important to do it safely!  That means using correct form and being aware of other exercisers.  Don't hesitate to ask your instructor if you have questions.

Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

Please notify and consult your instructor before participating if you have any physical limitations or medical restrictions.

Do not enter classes after they have started.  Proper warm up and cool down are essential for each class.  If you must leave before the end of class, please cool down and stretch.

Wear the proper shoes.  Well fitting, cushioned footwear will increase your comfort & allow you to workout safely. You will not be allowed in class without proper footwear.

Start slowly.  If you need to modify your level of exercise during class, please do and increase your workout gradually.

Work within your target heart rate zone.  Heart rates will be taken throughout the class, or the instructor will explain and use perceived exertion as a monitoring system.

Exercise at least three to four times a week.

Don't hesitate to talk with your instructor.  You may also speak with the aerobic coordinator personally if you like.  Fran can be reached at (757) 303-FRAN.
