Beginners and experts alike will be pushed to increase their levels of fitness and strength through the Southern Prairie YMCA boot camp challenge. “We do it to get together and have fun but work hard – work on building cardiovascular strength and endurance and muscular strength and endurance at the same time,” said Dana Dodge, the
YMCA personal trainer who teaches the boot camp. “We really emphasize camaraderie, a group exercise experience and building friendships.” The class, which is held most summers, will be 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays from July 5 to July 28 at the soccer field across from Creston Middle School. If there is rain or bad weather, the location will be switched to the YMCA.
