Trim That Flab Conscientious fitness becomes serious The Ul campus of· fers a wide variety of activities and facilities for the fitness orient· ed. A large weight· room and an indoor as well as an outdoor track housed at the Kibble Dome and an indoor pool at the PE Building are open all year and may be used at no cost by any Ul student. Running is popular and peopl e can be seen jogging and run· ning at any time of day, from early morn· ing to the middle of the night. Aerobics classes can be taken for PE credits or enrolled in at downtown facilities for those who are real· ly interested in shap· ing up.

But what motivates people to subject themselves to the pain and stress necessary to achieve higher levels of physical fit· ness? For some it's participation in athlet· ics, such as football or track. But what about the others, who aren't competing for starting positions or trying to hang onto scholar· ships? " I want to get big· ger," said Joe Law, a swimmer and weight· lifter. " I want to be strong, and lifting weights is a goOd way to not only maintain strength but increase it too," said Terry Taylor. Anyone feeling in· ellned to shape up can find some kind of ac·

tivity on campus or downtown to help ac· complish that goal. The same facilities are used by people who just want to kill time or blow off steam as well as the serious health nuts. Other fa· cllities and activities, such as tennis, rae· quetball and both in· door and outdoor bas· ketball courts also are available. Jogging, weightlift· lng. swimming, and aerobics, to name just a few of the possibili· ties. are popular ac· tivities on campus and off. Anyone interested in shaping up can find some kind of activity to help achieve that goal on campus or downtown.
