On campus alternative exercises

Is working out in the SuRF just not for you? Are you active and you just don’t like to lift weights or run on a treadmill? Well, there are many alternative forms of exercising available right here at Bellarmine. Here are a few I enjoy:

1. By combining line dances with self-choreographed pieces Amber Hensley of Flow has created a unique workout routine called Hip-hop aerobics. Hip-hop aerobics is offered by FLOW on Tuesday nights in the Kennedy/Newman workout room at 8:30 pm and on occasional Sundays. These classes focus give you a great cardio workout while increasing your dancing skills. These classes will make sure you get noticed at Ball on the Belle.

2. Biking is another alternative form of exercise. With Louisville’s new biking campaign, “Louisville is serious about biking,” the city has made biking maps available through its website www.louisvilleKy.gov/BikeLouisville. With Bardstown Road so close to campus why not ride your bike to Graeter’s or even try riding your bike to school instead of driving one day.

3. If you didn't know that Bellarmine has a golf course you are missing out. According to Shape Magazine golfing can burn more than 300 calories in one hour. If you don't have any clubs to play don't worry there are left and right handed clubs available in the club house. Why not give golf a swing when it is free to play with your Bellarmine student id.
