talk fitness

We think about it, talk about it, even try
to do it sometimes, but most of us have
trouble fitting fitness into our schedules.
It’s summertime, and opportunities for ex-
ercise are boundless. With the hope of
inspiring others to take up the challenge,
the INside asked a few people around the
College how they stay fit. Here’s what
they said.

S long as I can, usually from March to
October, I like to cycle for fresh air, exer-
cise and the fun," says Arnie, who
averages 5,000 kilometres in one season.
He began cycling with a trip to Hope, and
has since travelled to Winnipeg, into On-
tario and the USA and has even toured
China. And his own personal record: "I’ve
done 1,000 kilometres in 68 hours."

"T like to lift weights 3 times a week and
use the Stairmaster at the Canada Games
Pool," says Jeff, who also hikes and cy-
cles. "I believe that fitness helps you be
better at just about everything you do,
physically and mentally."

Debbie McFadyen, Foundation Office
Debbie attends Douglas College fitness
classes 3 times a week, swims twice a
week, plays tennis, and jogs every Satur-
2 morning with a friend. "I believe you
ve to be highly organized and work at
being organized to fit fitness into your
schedule," she says. Her own personal

philosophy: "You need a balance in your
life. Being fit makes you feel good and in
turn makes everything around you much
better."

Margaret Zucht, Community
Programs & Services

In the winter months, Margaret keeps
busy by curling. "Only curlers know how
much exercise it takes to curl," she says.
"For exercise, relaxation and fun I like to
walk. I walk every lunch hour around the
hills in New Westminster. On the week-
ends I walk with my daughter and
husband. I like to walk the seawall. I like
to work around my house and then I

have to take a walk to stop myself from
working."
