Jim's Gym

After a long absence we see the return this week of the literary masterpiece from the ever-active 'Gym' Jim the Extension Man.

Fitness Analysis Week 1977

Monday July 18th sees the beginning of the third Fitness Analysis week, and before you turn to another part of Salient in morbid fear o of finding out what you might regard as the worst news that you knew already, let me dispel the bogey of 'Fitness Analysis'.

For the past three years the Gym have given students the opportunity to obtain a profile of their own physical state with particular reference to the system in the body which has to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life, today, tomorrow and every other day for another 60, 70, 90 yean. The Heart-Lung/Cardio-Vascular/Cardio-Respiratory system. The bit that leaves you gasping as you race for the bus clamber aboard and on your hands and knees, weakly request "2 sections please".

Another major area of concern is the incidence of coronary heart disease; and again for the older students about to embark on an exercise or activity programme then an "All systems go" check up is available using our EGG facility.

The profile which you will obtain will be quick and easy to do. You will not be required to exert yourself to exhaustion (we made that mistake two years ago) and you will have the opportunity to discuss your profile with members of the Gym staff even to the extent of doing something about it!

What time?

Two noon on the 18 July - 22nd or if you are really pushed for time, arrange a time with Jan Brown at the Gym Store to get your profile.

The New Intra Mural Soccer Draw is in full swing during Wednesday lunchtimes and for those of you who desire the social pace then Basketball (Thursday 12-1.30) and Volleyball (Tuesday 12 - 1) is for you.

Now classes in Beginners Golf and Tumbling, start on Thyrsdays (11 - 12) while the ever faithful Badminton for beginners (Tuesday 11-12) and (Friday 10-11, 11-12) continues.

For more information on Fitness Analysis Week either ask at the Gym or read the display in the Union Foyer.
