If you're looking to firm and tone muscles, Body Sculpting classes are offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 2 p.m., in the dance studio, Room G 303. This class, which is also coordinated by Student Life, is targeted toward strengthening and building muscles, and helping students feel better about themselves. The class consists of a warm-up period, followed by a session of weightlifting to music such as oldies, club music, and favorite soundtracks. The first muscle group targeted is the upper body, including biceps, triceps, back and shoulders. Next, the lower body is toned, varying exercises from session to session to work all muscles.
Flexibility exercises in between help stretch tired muscles.
Free weights, ranging from 2-8 pounds and exercise bands are provided. Cookie Rosell, the instructor, has an M.A.S. in Exercise Physiology from Florida International University and is also a personal trainer. She teaches credit courses in Health Analysis and Conditioning at the Kendall Campus. Yesterday I had close to 30 students. That's really awesome.
