How to burn off last night’s pizza
Aerobics best for
getting into shape
By Mart Johnson
Ot ttf Emaratd
Veg-e-tate (vej' e-tayt'), 1. to grow as plants 2 to
lead a very inactive life
Although there are serious doubts that people
can be likened to plants, an exception could be
made toward believing that many of the University's
students fall under definition number two
If you now find yourself physically stagnant, as
many University students do, wallowing in your room
after a hefty meal in the dorm cafeteria, the vegeta
tion process has begun Usually, students don't
realize the results of inactivity until its too late
Some of us find out the hard way, learning new
vocabulary words from friends such as beergut.
Michelin Man (he always carries a spare) and Pills
bury Dough Boy, until they threaten to become
nicknames
Once you have resigned yourself to getting
back in shape " there remain the questions What's
available7 What sport or program is best for me7 How
can I get started7
According to Dr Frank Baynes, of the University
Health Center, a good place to start is with books
"There are several good books on conditioning
you can buy at most of the local bookstores Baynes
said depending on what you re looking for, you can
probably find it in a number of books
Using the books as a reference point Baynes

adds, can serve the beginner well, allowing the
person to choose the best program which is best
acclimated for that individual
Baynes cites classes offered by the University s
physical education department as another starting
point
The conditioning classes offered branch off
into many areas which can get you ready for a lot of
sports "
Jan Howell, athletic trainer at the Health Center,
also stresses the importance of finding an activity
that you can stick with," Howell said, something
that fits your time schedule and lifestyle
Sometimes when people start a new activity
they tend to be overzealous, when they really need to
find an activity that they can be gentle with "
Common activities which Howell says fit these
criteria are many of the aerobic exercises
Although running, also an aerobic activity, has
become an institution in Eugene, there are viable
alternatives for those who do not like to run Baynes
says these types of exercises are ' just as good on
the cardiovascular system as running, and also helps
with the body tone and overall health.”
Some of the most popular aerobic activities
include swimming, jogging, cycling, cross-country
skiing and aerobic dance, as well as numerous
others
In simple terms, aerobics involve an endurance
activity which increases the oxygen demand of the
lungs and heart These demands force your body to
process and deliver the oxygen An aerobics pro
gram, through the increasing use of oxygen con
sumption, increases fitness
In comparing some of the aerobic activities,
running consumes the most calories Taking 114
calories, which is the equivalent to one glass of beer
(a favorite beverage of one who vegetates), it would
take six minutes of running to burn it off Swimming
ten minutes, cycling for 14 or walking for 22 would
also burn 144 calories But for each glass of beer, it
takes 88 minutes of reclining to burn that many
calories
Keeping fit is not the only strong point of being
active
"It also helps the stress level,” Howell says, “the
activity can serve as a diversion to get away from the
stresses of school, which is important.”
Howell also adds that a good way to begin a
fitness program is to “know your body and how it
works and then determine what you want to accom
plish."

A few ideas on
ways to shape up
So now you ve decided to shape up but jogging just doesn't do it for
you Where do you turn7
Fortunately, there are a number of on- and off-campus alternatives to
Eugene s numerous jogging trails Some are free for the taking, and some
require a bit of money By no means complete, the below offers a range of
possibilities
Campus sources offering conditioning or recreational opportunities
include
P.E. CLASSES — This is probably the best outlet for the beginner
Conditioning classes start at levels suited to everyone and can help to
establish routines that are easy to follow Other activity classes are offered
that are also suited for the beginner (Information available in 186 Esslinger)
CLUB SPORTS — Although club sports seem to be geared for the more
competitive athlete, it is open to most skill levels and offers a wide range of
sports The emphasis is more on the accomplished athlete than on someone
who wished to begin a fitness program yet it seems to be an excellent outlet
for the ex-athlete who wants to remain active (Information available in Room
5 EMU)
RECREATION — RIM provides facilities such as Esslinger and Gerlinger
Halls for individual informal work-outs during open walk-in hours Activities
include basketball and volleyball m the gymnasiums, raquetball, handball
and squash in the Esslinger courts, weight facilities in both buildings, tennis
in the covered courts, and much more Admission is free with a stamped fee
card
Off campus you've got to shell out the bucks to shed the pounds
COURTSPORTS (2510 Oakmont Way or 4242 Commerce) — Both
facilities offer racquetball and handball courts as their specialties. Basket
ball courts, weightrooms are offered, as well as jazzercise and exercise
classes Student rate for initiation fee is $35 00, with a monthly $25 00
charge Open 7 days a week
PACIFIC NAUTILIS (55 W. 6th) — Weights, saunas and exercise
facilities are the only things offered Open 7 days a week $40 00 initiation fee
is a 33 percent discount rate Monthly charge is $15 00
YMCA (2055 Patterson) — Close to campus,the "Y" offers a pool,
gymnasium, weight and exercise rooms, raquetball and squash courts,
whirlpool, sauna and steam rooms Day passes are $3.50 for adults, but
membership fees are often discounted The basic rate for students is
$190 00 for a 13 month membership (about $14 50 per month), with a $30 00
initation fee
