Starting off with a walk
At a competitive extreme, walking
is a track event. At the casual end of
things, it's a shockingly effective
strategy for lifelong good health.
Walking has a unlikely virtue-it's
inefficiency. If you want to work
major muscle groups, get your blood
moving and take in oxygen, then
efficiency is not your first priority.
Studies show that walkers who travel
just four miles and hour are working
hard enough to greatly reduce their
risk of heart disease. Walking briskly
can also boost immune response,
cutting down on colds and flu's.
Getting started
To begin a walking program, keep
in mind that you're in no big hurry.
This is lifetime health, not overnight
magic. For now, forget stopwatches,
heart rates, and technique. Just go for
a walk at a comfortable pace slightly
above a stroll. Fifteen to 30 minutes
would be nice (If you're over 45 or a
health problem and this is your first
step toward fitness, check with a
doctor first).
Beyond strolling
Measure your time. Start by timing
how long it takes you to walk a mile
comfortable on flat ground. Chances

Kalama. She would like to
continue talking with
parents and student letting
them know she is
concerned.
, She has been doing a lot
of paper work to back up
her information to present
to committees.
Gabriel-Kalama has a
high school diploma, a
Business Administration
Certificate from Business
college. She has been
employed with the
Confederated Tribes of
Warm Spring for fifteen
years in Employment and
Adult Education.
She has experienced
committee work in the Land
Use Committee. She has also
worked on the update of the
Comprehensive Plan.
She also worked at a
Native School in Canada for
two years before returning
' to Warm Springs in 1998.

rule of ten city blocks to a mile to
measure different routes (why walk
the same path every time?). Two
miles per course is enough for a start.

heart rate" is at least 60 percent of the
fastestyour heart can beat per minute.

the beginning of your target zone for

The proper technique is not as
important as getting out there and
doing something. Keep in mind that
healthy people are well overall;
though they may not run marathons,
their activities help defend them
against heart disease and circulatory
problems. The key is to stay active.
Keep it up
To make walking a habit takes
willpower-and sometimes a strategy.

COCC board of
directors voted to
offer rebate to full
time students
The board of directors of the
Central Oregon Community College
recently voted to offer tuition rebates
to full-time students for up to three
credits beginning spring term.
For the past five years, tuition has
been computed on a per-credit basis,
regardless of the number of credits.' '
Starting spring term, students who
are taking at least 12 will be eligible
to receive a tuition rebate of $38 per
credit (the cost of regular in-district ,
tuition) for the next three credits.
The rebate will be $39 per credit for
the 1999-2000 school year. Student
fees and lab fees will remain
unchanged.
The COCC board is offering this
rebate to encourage students to reach : '
their degree goals in a more
reasonable and economical time
frame. An associate degree, requiring
a minimum of 93 credits, is designed ,
to be completed in two years- if a ,
student enrolls in 15 to 16 credits
each term. Many COCC students
enroll in 12 credits per term, the
minimum for full-time status,
extending the completion of their
degree by several terms.
Schedule regular walks with a friend
if you need an extra push, or walk
first thing in the morning before other
commitments crop up, or vary your
route to keep it interesting, or get a
dog.
Finally, don' t think if it as exercise.
It's time you' vesetaside foryourself.
Enjoy it.
What to wear
Ass you really need is a good pair
of shoes. Running shoes are out
they're to high and squishy. Choose
walking shoes with a firm hee'
counter-the hard piece at the shoe
that holds the heel in place-and plenty
of room for the toes so they can
spread out as they push off. Wear
loose, comfortable clothes.
