before job starts

ALMOST EVERYONE wants to
Jose a little weight. firm up a bit,
look better and feel better.

But many don’t have cnough
time to get involved in a fitness
program. So the West Vancouver
Recreation Centre has developed a
30 minute exercise class to squeeze
in before you head to the office,

Starting at 7 a.m. and ending at
7:30 a.m., with all the conve-
niences of free coffee and hot
clean showers, the class allows
participants to get ready for work
and still make it comfortably to a
downtown office by 8:30 or 9 a.m.

A similar class has been running
at the Rec Centre from 6 to 7 a.m.
for years, with 60 members regu-
larly attending. This class will con-
tinue for an hour of really athletic

work,

The Quick Fit class is 30 minutes
of exercise at a moderate level, and
newcomers would be welcome to
join, Teacher Ila Mae Dickson has
been offering entry level classes for
seven years with great success and
has extraordinary skill at making
everyone feel successful.

Nothing is too fast or too com-
plicated to perform.

Dickson, a former school teach-
er, is very skilled at instructing her
students on technique and
modifications.

Don't put it off any longer —
schedule Quick Fit for Tuesday
and Thursday mornings.
