What used to be an almost anything goes exercise program has now become a more refined science. Lawsuits against teachers have forced aerobic classes to become more professional, Day said. Students were becoming injured and dropping out of the high impact classes because of uneducated instruction. To combat the problem of lawsuits against instructors, two national associations were organized to educate and certify Lay-to- 546-858- ple. Aerobic dancing classes were originally started by a group of dance teachers and consisted of 20 minutes of dance movements set to music. Day said. Aerobics as we know it today has gone from the hands of the dance people back to the hand of the exercise people, says Day. Exercise specialists took the dance forms the dance classes were using for moving and made them more structured like exercises, except they kept a little bit of flow, she said. Most local health clubs and many community programs offer a variety of aerobic programs including water aerobics, aerobics, high- - and and combination classes that mix both high- - and together. The various classes can be geared to individual fitness levels, according to age or. low-impa- ct low-impa- ct Basketball camp offered in Clinton Leading her class in a leg kick is Karen Cook, who teaches aerobics at South Clearfield Elementary School. Lawsuits against teachers have forced aerobics classes to become more professional. Marie Day assistant recreation director to the physical condition of the exerciser. Rather than charge right in to a heavy workout program, most aerobic programs recommend now that their patrons receive a physical examination before starting an aerobics class to lessen the risk of injury. Elvera Dicus, aerobics direcFitness Center tor at in Kaysville recommends that beginners start in a class first because its easier to work at their own pace. If they dont want to use their arms, or to get their heart rate too high but just want to get the aerobic steps down, is usually a then good place to start, Dicus said. For many years, health experts have recommended aeroAll-Wa- ys low-impa- ct low-impa- bic ct exercise it because strengthens the heart. Strengthening the heart is a major factor in fighting cardiovascular disease. A continued aerobics program can lower blood pressure and make the heart work more efficiently even to the point of lowering an individuals heart rate. According to Jim Anderson, assistant director of physical therapy and director of the cardiac rehabilitation program, Humana Hospital in Layton, says that a constant long-teraerobics program lessens the chance of a heart attack and increases the ability to survive a heart attack by increasing circulation. Aerobic exercise helps to develop a massive system of blood vessels and networks and circulation around the heart, which improves the efficiency with which blood gets to the heart. A person suffering a heart attack who has this elaborate system has adequate circulation to the same part of the heart by another set of blood vessels, Anderson said. An aerobics program is also beneficial in toning the body and burning off fat. The other thing it does is make you feel good, he said. Aerobic exercise has a component, which is an endorphin that with long, sustained aerobic exercise gives the person a feeling of euphoria or feeling of wellness of health. This is generally associated with increased endorphin levels in the body.

Everyone talks about it and says, I'll do it when I get around to it, but they never do, Anderson said. If a person has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of heart disease they should get in and see a physician and get it under control. Just a little bit of excerise can help lower stress and blood pressure, Anderson said. According to Karen Cook, for the Clearfield City Recreation Department, another reason for taking a class is that aerobic exercise not only makes you feel better, but look better. Its a cycle, she said. Its a pretty good total body workout. It conditions all your muscles including your heart and is a stress reliever. aerobic instructor helped the Weber County Fairgrounds Race Track open its first racing season.
