As most members of the business community can attest to, thereB次元官网网址檚 often not enough hours in the day for work, let alone a fitness routine. Add a family to the mix and the window for a workout can get even smaller.

ThatB次元官网网址檚 why the is working hard to give residents more options and flexibility when creating a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

B次元官网网址淲e have plenty of that,B次元官网网址 said fitness programmer Kristy Webster. B次元官网网址淭hatB次元官网网址檚 the wonderful thing about community recreation, itB次元官网网址檚 all ages and all levels. ItB次元官网网址檚 for everyone.B次元官网网址

Ladies-only golf lessons, weightless boot camp, boxing for fitness and various classes that utilize the new Queenax fitness equipment have proven to be popular choices among women.

A number of classes are also geared towards expecting or new moms. Expecting 2BFit, is a prenatal fitness class. B次元官网网址淚t focuses on the muscles needed for a healthy childbirth,B次元官网网址 Webster explained, adding the emphasis is on healthy activity during pregnancies.

There are also stroller boot camp, tri-cycle, spin and fit classes where baby can come with you, Webster noted, adding, B次元官网网址渢he main demographic is women but theyB次元官网网址檙e not just for women.B次元官网网址

Some of these programs require pre-registration but many are open to drop-in participants, adding another level of flexibility. B次元官网网址淎ll of these (also) take place while we have child minding available,B次元官网网址 Webster noted. B次元官网网址淲ith the cost of living so crazy, we have to do what we can to make being active accessible.B次元官网网址 To help with some of the financial and other scheduling challenges, child minding is available for 75 minutes at a cost of $3.50 or $30 for a 10-visit punch card.

While also not exclusively for women, spin classes are always a popular choice, Webster added. B次元官网网址淥f course we (also) have our more dance styled programs.B次元官网网址 These include options such as Zumba, Jazzercise and bellyfit.

B次元官网网址淔or anyone not looking for the group atmosphere B次元官网网址 we do have personal training,B次元官网网址 Webster said, which also includes rehabilitation options.

There are also programs that offer smaller group dynamics for those looking for a more intimate experience. The biggest loser winner program is an example of that, with a maximum group size of five participants. The 10-week program aims B次元官网网址渢o get you on the road to weight loss,B次元官网网址 Webster said. Last springB次元官网网址檚 winner lost more than 26 pounds.

The societyB次元官网网址檚 sizable trail network around the Juan de Fuca Recreation site is also a great option that allows residents to spend more time outdoors while getting a little exercise. The West Shore Walkway trail network features a 2.8 kilometre loop and two other smaller routes. All of which have recently been updated with new signage.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 definitely a big improvement,B次元官网网址 Webster noted, adding a number of different walking groups utilize the trail.

For those that are just looking for a nice place for a stroll with a friend these trails are a good place to start. New makers will also tell you exactly how far you have to go.

All of those options combined with a number of yoga classes that range from gentle therapeutic, to Hatha flow to 55-plus, thereB次元官网网址檚 something for every woman.
