Rye Y Staff Workouts - Liz

I recently started a work-out routine with two of my co-workers. Working out with friends is great because we really motivate each other. I’ve tried exercising on my own but could never sustain it. Having two workout buddies is ideal because even if one can't make it, there are still two of us.


We work out on the elliptical trainers and weight circuit in the Annex twice a week. On Monday evening we take the 7:15 pm Core Express with Diana and the 7:45 pm Mega Zumba with Marthe. The two classes combined are an incredible workout. I love the dancing in Zumba! and the addition of weights is even better. I definitely feel that class the next day! Already I’ve noticed a difference in my endurance - I live in a 3rd floor walk-up and  can now go up the stairs much faster.

Fitness Goals – I want to continue working on toning and flexibility. Exercising is the first step for me - eventually I’d like to change my eating habits.
