Wheeze Into Shape
Cvnpm Digest Sewt Siervkt
Summer is just around the comer,
but many people are discovering that
their bodies are still in winter
hibernatiof).
If you're one of these people—if you
lose your breath while dressing, or
break into a sweat picking up the
morning paper—then it's time to shape
up for the warm weather season.
The best way to shape up is by
cardiovascular exercise. Cardiovascu
lar exercise is any prolonged rhythmic
movement of the large-muscle groups
that strengthens the heart and lungs.
Cardiovascular exercise benefits your
total body whereas strength exercises
such as weightlifting benefit only
certain muscles.
Probably the most popular
cardiovascular exercise is running. One
nice thing about running is you can just
go out your door and start right there.
But a running program must be
started slowly. Don't try to do too much
the first time you begin running.
The first step (provided you have a
doctor’s consent if your family has a
history of heart disease or it you are
over 35 and have been fairly inactive), is
the “talk test.” This is a breathing test
that determines your anaerobic
threshold—how long you can run
without the threat of injury. You can
determine this threshold by running at a

Jump For Heart
By Marion Crowe
Physical Education Majors jumped
rope March 3, in the Women's
Gymnasium, but instead of jumping for
fun, they jumped to help to promote
physical education programs through
cardiovascular fitness.
“Jump Rope For Heart” is an annual
event conducted during National
Physical Education Week. It is
sponsored by the Physical Education
Major (PEM) Club and the
Department of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation (HPER) for
the purpose of creating interest in
physical education programs offered at
Fayetteville State University. In
addition, the event develops interest in
fighting the nation's number one killer,
heart disease and stroke.
“Jump Rope For Heart” is a united
effort of the schools across the nation to
help insure success in an unique
education program to educate the
public, communicate the physical
education philosophy, types of
programs available and the importance
of physical education in a balanced
curriculum.
Some of the students participating in
the Jump Rope For Heart event were
Tony Owens, Katrina Bullock, Sheryl
Drayton, Natalie King, Alonzo
Murray, Victor Smith, Ricardo Baker,
Eli Martin, and Earlene “Poco”
Hughey.
moderate pace until you're so short of
breath you cannot carry on a
conversation. For most people, it's
between 12 and 14 minutes. That's
where you should start your program.
Once you know your threshold, you
can begin the hardest step—running
regularly. Try to run three times a week
or on alternate days. And you should
progress one to two minutes a run—the
optimal running time needed to
maintain fitness.
Stretching before running and having
a good pair of shoes are important.
But many people do not like running,
and if you don't like it, you're likely to
quit soon. It's very important to find an
exercise that is enjoyable.
Bicycling and swimming are also
cardiovascular exercises, but like
running, they are individual activities.
Some people need motivation.
That's when organizations and healh
clubs are helpful. Many people find the
group atmosphere makes getting in
shape easier.
But whatever your path to fitness,
exercise has mental as well as physical
advantages. People who exercise are
more self-confident and assertive than
they were before they were in shape.
And, most importantly, exercise can
help you from tiring while dressing or
picking up the morning paper.

Register
For Aid
Campus Digest News Service
If you are a male and are planning to
apply for financial aid to go to college
next fall, you had better be prepared to
prove yourself. That is, to prove you
have registered for the draft.
A new law goes into effect July 1,
1983, which says that students who are
required to register with the Selective
Service must prove they have done so
before they will be eligible for financial
aid.
Supporters of the new law say that if
the students are willing to take the
assistance of the federal government,
they should also be willing to provide
assistance to their country if called
upon. Opponents say that colleges and
universities should not be involved in
enforcing compliance of draft
registration.

of Honor for the feat many years later.
He was born in Maryland in August,
