ROBERTA SMITH OBTAINS
—Energy from exercising
Americans Are Seeking Fitness?
By Teresa Simmons
Post Managing Editor
Fitnes8...it is some
thing more and more Ame
ricans are seeking. They
are finding out also that it is
not easily attained without
sacrifice and determina
tion.
There are so many ways
to lose that extra pound
age. The variety is so wide
that it even affects our
shopping...which get slim
quick magazine do I buy
today, we ask ourselves. Or
“If I reduce my thighs in 30
days, that only leaves my
hips, arms, lower legs,
back and double chin."
Seriously there are ways
to lose weight and the op
portunity is right in our
own backyards. There are
people like Roberta Smith
who want to share the
enthusiasm of attained dis
cipline and the confidence
to take on a regimen that
guarantees fitness and
firmness.
Ms. Smith, who is pre
sently conducting aerobics
classes at Hair Original,
has some tips for the
weight conscious, for those
who want to maintain as
well as lose.
“First of all I would like
to stress that no particular
diet is needed. To keep
weight down just cut down
on fried foods, carbohy
drates and try eating
earlier in the day. Exer
cising after eating burns up
twice as many calories.
And it is not recommended
that one undertake a diet of
less than 1,000 calories per
day without a doctor's su
pervision. Most people gain
weight after they become
Mulch Blanket Mcr±±»
Even Soil Temperature
All gardeners appreciate
something that will cut
down hours of weeding and
watering. This time of
year, mulch is that some
thing, acting as insulation
between the soil and the hot
sun.
The mulch shades the
soil, inhibiting weed
growth, and it holds moi
sture itself as well as slow
ing evaporation from the
soil.
In the winter, too, the
mulch blanket helps main
tain a more even soil tem
perature during alternate
freezing and thawing
periods, thus acting to mi
nimize heaving problems
with plants.
While mulch may be ap
plied in most seasons of the
year, spring is a good time
since it helps conserve the
moisture from spring
rains.
Compost is an ideal
mulch in terms of its pro
perties and low cost. Other
materials available to
some gardeners include
dried grass clippings,
leaves (preferably shred
ded), and pine needles,
which are effective and
neat in appearance as well.
For areas, such as pe
rennial beds, where aesthe
tics may be of concern,
garden supply stores stock
materials like pine chips or
nuggets, which combine
good mulching perfor
mance with attractive ap
pearance.
For all these-mulches,
placement of two-inch lay
ers on the beds, with
periodic additions as set
ting and decay occur, will
allow air and water cir
culation while maintaining
the blanket function. In
fact almost any kind of
organic matter has been
used, including layers of
shredded newspaper, card
board, old carpets and
rotted hay.
In vegetable and cutting
areas, where yield is more
important than looks, some
gardeners employ black
plastic strips. It is impor
tant to work the soil well
before tacking down the
plastic sheets and to poke
holes in them permitting
water to reach the soil.
Garden plants will appre
ciate being mulched in
periods of hot sun and
drought and during winter
freezes; gardeners will
appreciate fewer hours of
weeding and watering.
If you have questions
about what mulch to use
where (different mate
rials work best in different
situations), call the N.C.
Botanical Garden at 919
967-2246 or visit the garden
at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Wedding Date Set
Mr. and Mrs. Alston
Bellamy of 2001 Monterey

older. Mainly because the
metabolic rate is not the
same. I want to help any
one who is weight con
scious. No one, I believe,
wants to carry weight
around,” she continued.
Ms. Smith obtained her
desire for structured ex
ercise in an exercise class
she attended after work at
Presbyterian Hospital. She
has taught aerobics for
ladies at the Salvation
Army Boys Club and has
always been a sports en
thusiast by swimming,
jogging and playing tennis.
Presently her classes at
Hair Original will involve
exercising to music non
stop for 40 minutes (the
strategy of aerobics is to
keep moving); work-outs
on the tread mill; the arm
and leg pulley; the exer
cise bike; and the access to
the sauna. Shower stalls
are also available.
If you ever feel the need
for the commercial favor
ite Geritol because you are
tired and run-down it may
be time for you to try some
thing different and in
vigorating. In addition to
aiding a diet, exercising,
according to Ms. Smith,
gives one energy.
“I have more energy
after exercising. I would
like for others to feel the
same way,” Ms. Smith
shared.
Nothing miraculous is
being offered. Results
aren’t promised and over
night changes are null.
What Ms. Smith does pro
mise is that exercise is an
energy booster. “After you
exercise you are not as
tired. Your entire body is
excited.”
