Females cannot follow similar male fitness programs and expect to achieve identical gains. Girls and women are less responsiye than men in their ability to improve strength through a training program. Females start at a lower level and attain a lower maximum. Over a six month period, most female athletes will register strength increases of from 50% to 100% in most recommended exercises. Women's workout vary from the men’s training program in that the emphasis on arm and shoulder strength in the men’s program is shifted to the thigh and hip area. Women have a great capacity for work and particularly when results can be seen. However, there is no short cut to fitness. The average female has approximately seven pounds more skin surface fat than males. Presence of fat' tissue provides women with greater buoyancy, lower loss of body heat in cold water, and increased heat tolerance. Greater buoyancy tends to be a contributing factor to the fact th a t w o m en ’s sw im m ing records are closer to men’s in comparison to other sports. In relation to injury, there is a higher degree and greater severity in women than in men. Ankle and knee joint injuries are most prevalent. This is caused by lateral sway at the patella (knee cap), when the leg is bent, combined with weak quadriceps and poor condi tioning, putting added stress on the knee. There is also lack of, or disproportionate strength in the large muscles that surround the knee joint. In order to set up a fitness program one must determine and state specific objectives. Women working on fitness must set up a program to meet any of the following: 1. Firm up flaccid body areas. 2. Increase muscular tonus and strength. 3. Increase flexibility 4. Improve overall muscle endurance 5. In ju ry p re v e n tio n or rehabilitation. It is helpful to maintain a personal weekly record of work out time and activity and a monthly record of gains or losses. Community resources are available to plan individual fitness programs and to offer n u tritio n a l advice. Visible r e s u lts d o n o t a p p e a r overnight, but steady devotion to fitness objectives and carefully planned programs will be re w a rd e d w ith aermanent results. coffee, juice and milk for the price of $4.50.

At the root of these athletic feats, though, is the develppemerit of basic coordination. Gymnastics is a program of physical exercises designed to d e v e lo p s t r e n g t h a n d coordination. That’s just what Julie Mitchell has in mind as she instructs children from 6-12 years of age twice a week at the Warm Springs Community Center. H a v in g y o u n g p e o p le involved in the gymnastsics program “ helps them to develop their body awareness for sports,” according to Mitchell. She says her interest in gymnastics for children is “totally selfish.” She “wants to have kids that are coordin ated.” She pointed out that there are not too many coordinated people. Since she began the eight week sessions, assisted by Susan Guerin, Mitchell has n o tic e d c h a n g e s in the movements of the children in the program. “They have more confidence in m anipulating their movements.” She goes on to say they are not afraid of ¡being upside down or up high after some practice. The children are able to learn better in a group by being able to observe other children. Their motor skills develop quickly in this situation. This \ is the second year gymnastics has been offered to the children of the community. Mitchell feels it is working so well this year because of work done previously by assistant FREE FALL—Students in the gymnastics class learn coordination and control Spilyay Tymoo photo by Shewczyk Community Center director Eva Montee. Mitchell feels that “people are lucky to have the gymnastics program.’ ■ It is not available to everyone, everywhere. Instructor Julie Mitchell is a graduate of Lewis and Clark College. She has a degree in Physical Education.
