The Baun Fitness Center offers a variety of Tiger X classes throughout the week for Pacific students, faculty, and staff. The classes are taught by students and are, at times, too fun to seem like a workout. Though, the burning muscles afterward suggest otherwise. In thirty minutes of core work, which felt like fifteen minutes, my abs were definitely burning.
“Every ‘good abs’ class starts with Britney Spears,” the Core class instructor, Alex Link, said before turning on Britney’s “Piece of Me”. The class went by quickly but certainly did the job. She began with crunches and moved on to planks, bicycles, scissors, and backward crunches. Each stretch worked a different area of the abs in order to get a complete workout. Alex wrapped up the session with a long combination of all the stretches we had done without allowing us to stop. Alex’s enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment of the class was a huge motivating factor for those of us trying to get in shape. She encouraged us and asked how we were doing and never let us over-exert our abs too much. The smile on her face throughout the class made the half hour seem more like a friendly conversation while working out. If you are looking for an Army Drill instructor and a workout that will leave you with no means of ever walking again, this class is not for you. However, if you just need the motivation to work your abs and new ideas on how to do so while enjoying yourself, check out Alex’s Core class from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday in the rubber room.
