Join us and learn why some are successful and others fail. Learn the basics of chassis engineering, engine development, and set-up practices.

Body Sculpt & Toning (Adult) - Do you want to lose inches? How about tone up those "soft" spots. Do you want to learn how to get in shape by using easy to find low cost equipment you might already have in your basement or garage? Have you ever been on vacation and walked by the hotel workout room and want to go in but were too afraid to open the door because you did not know how to use the machines or free weights? If you answered yes to any of these questions join me for a class that will teach you how to use the machines and free weights. Plus I will show easy to do exercises you can do at home and on the road. This class is designed for all levels of fitness. We will meet at Karcher Middle School for a one hour toning and sculpting class. This class will get your muscles toned and your heart rate up. One class of this session will be spent at Burlington High School where you will learn how to use a treadmill, elliptical, and stepper along with free weights and other common weight room equipment. You will feel comfortable entering any workout facility with confidence. Please wear comfortable "workout" clothing and athletic shoes. Remember to bring a towel and water.

Healthy Habits Challenge - Made Easy! (Adult) - Have you ever made a New Year's resolution about your health but then got overwhelmed and gave up? This series of classes will help you successfully develop healthy habits one easy step at a time. During each course you'll learn about one key element of a healthy lifestyle-what you drink, followed by what you eat, and ending with what you do for physical fitness. After the teaching portion of each course, you'll take a self-assessment quiz. Instructors will help you set one realistic goal and will provide tips for success. Logs are provided to journal progress. No weigh-ins-the goal is simply to make these healthy changes a part of your life. The fourth session reviews all the healthy habits, celebrates individual accomplishments, and includes refreshments. Sign up on your own or better yet with family members or friends. You'll be encouraged by shared success! Your healthier hydration, nutrition, and fitness habits will be a part of your life, and you'll be ready to enjoy summer!
