Fitness
program
geared to
newcomers

THE WEST Vancouver Recreation
Centre is encouraging newcomers
to get involved in fitness.

The centre has developed an en-
try-level program called First Time
to Fitness to provide an easy
beginning for newcomers of any
age or ability. The next program
begins Oct. 3. Classes are 30
minutes long and run two times a
week for four weeks.

“One problem the fitness in-
dustry has developed in the fast
five years is a sophistication level
that exceeds newcomers,’’ says
Wendi Lacusta, physical fitness
coordinator for the West Van-
couver Parks and Recreation
Department. ‘“‘Classes are either
too hard and uncomfortable or too
complicated for a novice to join.”’

The First Time to Fitness course
reviews each exercise that will be
encountered in aerobics classes and
explains the purpose and tech-
nique. Participants also learn what
to do if they are not physically
capable of performing an exercise
or complicated move.

Instructors Maureen Sherman
and Lacusta teach first-timers how
to gracefully opt out of an exercise
in a way that will not be noticed by
other class members, and illustrate
how to modify exercises to a more
manageable level of difficulty.
