Why is it that people constantly complain about body images, but no one tries to do anything about this problem? Well, for once, something is being done about it, and the solution can be found right here at Loudon High School . Does anyone notice the announcement stating the meeting place of the fitness club? It can be heard on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the main point of this announcement is to make people aware of the meetings.

These meetings are either held in the band room or in the nurse's office, where the members head down to the track during their lunch hour to walk or run or learn new training techniques. The purpose of the fitness club is to ensure that anyone who is interested in the option of getting in shape has that opportunity. There are no after school meetings, making it possible for anyone to be at the meetings, and the exercises are at an “at your own pace” speed.

exercise, as well as walking. There will be interval training, which is walking for a certain amount of minutes, then running for about a minute. This is one way to get in shape, but the members also go through training such as yoga and tennis. There will be many other types of training and there are always ways to make them fun because the members are innovative and dedicated.

Also, it is easier to get fit if there is a group of people instead of just one. In the fitness club, this benefit is available. It is good because there is moral support and a bit of competitiveness, making more incentive to work harder. Also, the members can learn new exercises or more effective ways to exercise than if they were just at home alone.

There are many great ways to benefit from a club such as this one, and it will also improve life. The objective of the fitness club is to help students of LHS improve their health status while having an activity to look forward to during the long lunch hour.
