BOISE STATE PUTS PEP IN STEP OF BOISEANS WITH WALK WORKOUT

Campus Rec’s interval-walking clinic intensifies workouts across the community.

The Boise State University Campus Recreation Center (REC) is offering an interval-walking clinic at noon on Wednesday, April 23. The clinic is a follow-up to the basic walking clinic that took place on April 9. The drop-in clinic is free and open to everyone. Participants will receive a water bottle and coupon for the Athlete’s Foot shoe store.

Lisa Stuppy, fitness program assistant director, designed the walking clinic to target those who already walk and want to spice things up and increase their intensity. “Beginners are welcomed and encouraged to participate,” Stuppy said.

The interval clinic will go a step further than the basic clinic, which introduces fitness walking and its forms, positions, warm-ups, stretches, techniques and speed. The new clinic adds high intensity intervals into the walk, including squats, lunges, curb-hops, light jogs, pushups, crunches and more.

The walking clinics are a newly developed incentive program for the REC and Stuppy hopes they will become more popular as time goes by. The walking clinics will return next fall and spring semester. For more information on this or future fitness programs, contact Stuppy at 426-1592 or visit the Web site at http://www.boisestate.edu/recreation.
