Program Overview:
This eight-session program is for women who want to begin a new exercise
program or get back into exercising.
Following a program that respects individual needs and fitness levels,
participants are guided in activities that promote flexibility, strength,
and conditioning.
Guest speakers address issues relevant to
women’s fitness, health, and exercise. All activities take place in a
non-competitive and supportive atmosphere.
Participants learn and practice sensible exercise
techniques that they continue between training sessions.
A group of dynamic motivational Reston Runners volunteers,
organized by Ann Deschamps, guides the
sessions. The program promotes fitness in a non-competitive atmosphere of mutual
support and encouragement. Participants walk, jog, or run with others moving at
similar pace. In addition to exercise, the sessions include a brief presentation
on a topic of particular interest to women including proper walking and running form,
nutrition, choosing appropriate shoes, and fitting exercise into a busy schedule.
Participants choose between four different groups: walkers, walk/runners, beginning
runners, and advance beginner runners. Each group varies their workouts throughout
the program. Participants are encouraged to move between the groups, as they are
comfortable. If you are a walker and want to workout with other walkers or maybe even
pick up the pace and start jogging, then this is the place for you.
