Your ticket to Exercise!

So some super exciting news! Campus Recreation will be hold Group X classes Maymester, Summer 1 and Summer 2! With this news I thought it would be a good time to talk about the enormous benefits of group exercise.

A group environment can be very beneficial to work out in. "Working out in a group provides support, accountability, and structure," says Lynne Vaughan, Chief Innovation Officer of the national YMCA. "People don't want to let their buddy or group down, which is terrific in terms of adherence to an exercise routine.”

It just like a regular class. People ask you how you are doing, encourage and motivate you.  Also, as you develop relationships with people in the class you are more likely to go just because you get to hangout with them. It’s a great way to meet people and build friendships. Or make friendships stronger. I mean if you work out and accomplish something with someone, this will bring you closer.

Another benefit is that you get a more well-rounded work out. Your instructor is there to push you when you wouldn’t push yourself. This can help you reach fitness levels you never though were possible.

To view this summer’s Group X schedules go to the Fitness and Wellness page of the Campus Rec website at http://www.sfasu.edu/campusrec/104.asp.

Just a reminder however, the Rec center is only free for students who are enrolled in classes that semester. If you are a student, but not enrolled in classes you will have to purchase a monthly membership.
