Fitness Class Preps Teens for Prom

A new fitness class,"Teen Prom Prep," is offered for those who want to look and feel their best in their gown or tux.

For a registration fee of $30, participants ages 15-18 can meet from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. every Saturday in April for cardio and toning workouts at Beaumont Hospitals' Bon Brae Center, 22300 Bon Brae (at Jefferson Avenue, between 10 and 11 Mile roads) in St. Clair Shores, Mich. Those who register with a friend will receive $5 off the class fee.

The offerings include:

• Zumba® on April 4, a workout that incorporates dance moves

• Kick& Core on April 11, a kickboxing-style workout with weights

• Cardio Circuit on April 18, that blends cardio and weight training in an interval workout

• Boot Camp on April 25, interval training with calisthenics to lose body fat and increase cardiovascular efficiency and strength

Nutrition information from a registered dietitian on energy bars and drinks will be available.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for teens to get together with their friends in a structured exercise setting," says fitness instructor Rita Moran."We hope it will encourage them to adopt a routine of regular exercise."

Participants are encouraged to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes and sneakers with good support. If possible, participants are asked to carry their shoes to class to avoid tracking dirt into the fitness area.
