Water aerobics provides an
intense workout for any age
Vyt,"
Amanda Anderson
Staff Writer
Water aerobics has commonly
been used as a form of exercise for
senior citizens, but it is now be
coming a form of cross-training for
all types of athletes.
“Water aerobics has always been
associated with senior citizens, but
you can ask any of the students.
They are getting a hard workout,”
said Teri Siegel, UNCA’s water
aerobics instructor.
“It’s a way of cross training so that
ifyou’re working out, running, play
ing soccer, playing football or which
ever sport, it is a way of working
your heart muscle,” said Siegel.
“This class happens to be before
my soccer practice on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday,” said Keith
Painter, a sophomore history ma
jor. “It helps me get warmed up.”
Water aerobics incorporates
rythmic body movements and dance
steps performed in water, accord
ing to www.health.cybear.com.
Water aerobics has all the compo
nents of a traditional workout, ac
cording to the Web site.
“Water aerobics are conducted
both in waist to chest deep water
and in deep water,” said the Web
site.
A typical water aerobic workout
usually lasts 40 to 50 minutes, with
time devoted to warm-up, cool
down and stretching routines, ac
cording to the Web site.
Many aerobic water programs in
clude a toning.and strengthening
component, as well as an aerobic
portion, according to the Web site.
Water aerobics appears to be as
easy as it sounds, but according to
Painter, it is not.
“1 thought the class was going to
be easy, but it .is actually rather
ART PARTS
difficult,” said Painter.
The class focuses mostly on car
diovascular work, stretching and
flexibility, according to Siegel, .
“Right now, we are doing a variety
of cardiovascular moves in the wa
ter,” said Siegel. “We do a lot of
jogging in the water. I also try to do
routines. For example, we did dif
ferent types of running. We ran
uphill and down hill, and did hur
dling and power walking,”
“The way the class starts out is
with a warm up,” said Siegel. “Then
we go into a cardiovascular, which
lasts about 20 minutes. We then go
into strength training with pushups
and abdominals.”
One objective of the class is for
students to see what goes on in the
water, according to Siegel.
“There is no impact on your joints
because you are not hitting the
floor,” said Siegel. “It is a nicer way
to flow and yet get a really good
workout.”
There are several health benefits
that come with water aerobics, ac
cording to Siegel.
“There is no impact on your body,
and you can work out at your own
pace,” said Siegel.
The students are in competition
with only themselves, according to
Seigel.
“There is nobody else to compete
with,” said Siegel. “Someone who
is in incredible shape and someone
who has never exercised before can
do the same routine. They just have
to pace themselves.”
The goal of the class is for the
students to learn that as long as
there is water they can get a work
out, according to Siegel.
“I want them to have a knowledge
ofwater,” said Siegel. “I want them
to take what we have worked on
throughout the semester. No mat
ter where they go in the world, as
long as there is a pool, they can get
a workout.”

Men’s Soccer on Cruise Control
The Big South Conference is enjoying two weeks of success by its men's soccer teams. Of the eight Conference schools, only one has an early-season record that is
under .500. Liberty, the preseason favorite started slow at 0-3, but the Flames quickly proved the record was only temporary, scoring their tirst win ot the season
against Wake Forest, who was the fifth-ranked in the nation. In addition. Coastal Carolina has racked up big wins, with victories over UNC Greensboro and UNC
Wilmington. Charleston Southern and Elon both notched wins over N.C. State and High Point picked up a tie against the Wolfpack. In all, the Big South is 3-0-1
against the Atlantic Coast Conference this year in men's soccer and also has wins against Virginia Tech, Stetson, Wofford and Central Florida.
Coastal Carolina Scores First-Ever Wins in Women’s Soccer
Coastal CaroHna picked up it's first-ever women’s soccer victory with a 2-1 win over Gardner-Webb. The Chanticleers followed up that win with a 10-0 drubbing
of South Carolina State for the program's second win. This is the first year Coastal Carolina has sponsored a women's soccer program. After opening the season with a
tie, the Chanticleers dropped three straight matches before defeating Gardner-Webb.
Radford Volleyball Off to 8-1 Start
The Radford volleyball team has made an effort to prove its selection as the preseason favorite was justified. The Highlanders have started the season 8-1, with two
Tournament victories (West Virginia and N.C. State) and wins over programs such as Virginia Tech. Radford's only loss came at the hands of former Big South
Conference member Towson.
UNC Asheville, Liberty, Coastal Carolina Pick Up Cross Country Meet Titles
UNC Asheville, Liberty and Coastal Carolina all came away from early-season cross
country meets as the winning team. The Bulldogs won the Gamecock Invitational on the men's side. Coastal Carolina won the Charleston Southern Classic on the
men's and women's side. Liberty picked up men’s and women’s wins as well, taking home both trophies at the Elon/High Point Invitational.
