Show Around The Globe Getting in shape Nick Parker in Editor-in-Chief Im I'm getting into shape Im I'm now enrolled in 1080 and 1046 weightlifting and jogging respectively and they're kicking my butt into shape I feel so good after a nice workout Its It's much better than sleeping an extra hour even though I dont don't agree in the morning morning morning morn morn- ing every day My jogging class is kind of ridiculous If I wanted to to I could take advantage of that class very easily The requirements are almost limited to turning in a workout journal once a week to the instructor Yeah theres there's pretty much no physical monitoring by bythe bythe bythe the instructor She gives a short lecture at the beginning of class and then we jog Some people peoples even leave right after th the lecture If-I If didn't really care about getting getting getting get- get ting into shape which I do Id I'd just lie my way through the class I can run for about 15 minutes now without stopping hey Im I'm kinda chunky and have never really worked out out so that's progress for a breath Im I'm pretty proud of that One of the nicest things about this class is that Im I'm very familiar with the Jordan River Parkway area area in fact it used to be my backyard before our relatives sold their share of the land about a decade ago to make way for Murray Bluffs Its It's nice to see people jogging early Saturday morning Most are very friendly and happy to throw a smile my way Ill I'll digress here but I saw the coolest thing this Saturday I had just begun my early run complete complete complete com com- with on my when I saw a group congregating congregating congregating con con- on the side of the path I passed the trees thinking that they were just staring into the beautiful Jordan River when I saw the rear end of a newer model Mazda sedan poking out of the flowing water Wow crazy Back to my health kick though One of my favorite things about running besides the euphoric endorphin rush I get after all is said and done is seeing seeing seeing see see- ing my friends friend's mom on the parkway park park- way Dome Dorrie Hansen walks her dog Bambi which she treats like her groan child every Saturday morning on the parkway Visiting with her about her daughter Local Arts Staff Writer Marissa Groce is kind of nice The General as Marissa calls her is goofy and quirky Its It's kind of nice to visit My weightlifting class is slightly different than a leisurely jog in the parkway Its It's filled with testosterone-pumped testosterone alpha males looking to bulk up for the summer My partner is quite a character charac charac- ter though His name is Brad Hes He's got a huge scar on the side of his head when the police roughed him up for skipping class at Riverton High School Hes He's a really nice guy though Hes He's been showing me around they weight room telling me continued on page 4 J i 4 Lifetime Activity classes help Nick Nickon on his health kick Continued from Page 2 what does what to what muscles His ghetto-fabulous ghetto speech amuses me as hes he's a skinny little white kid d. d I meant no offense by that of course I just wanted to illustrate his characteristics The instructor for weightlifting ing is a really lax guy I had Mr Ibarra two summers ago for Health 1050 some drug and iLZ m 15 alcohol class that proved to be pretty interesting Most of the time hes he's on his cell phone or just hanging out somewhere Iguess I Iguess Iguess guess that's not completely fair though because Ive I've missed one of the four classes weve we've had so far Hopefully I can fend off this impending heart disease and tone up a little for the ladies My tattoo tattoo tattoo tat tat- too sleeve is going to look pretty sweet on some ripped ture a |
