SCORE HIGH
A single exam score may be more
important than your hard-earned
GPA.
(5)
J III. 1
Thousands of
bright, otherwise
eligible students
are unfairly penal
ised every year for
being underprepared,
for not knowing criti
cal test-taking skills or
for freezing up during the
actual exam, thus concealing
their true "aptitude." You can
overcome these problems if you
know what kind of questions to
expect, have learned proven
test-taking strategies, and have
practiced under simulated test
conditions.
GAPS gives you the knowledge,
confidence and the competitive edge
you need to succeed on critical exams.

Medical experts recommend beginning fitness programs at a young age to prevent obesity
Doctors advise childreini
to start exercosDimg early
From Associated Press reports
DURHAM While college
students and adults may be on a
health kick, one quarter of the
children in America are obese, and
most do not get enough exercise,
a pediatrician at Duke University
Medical Center says.
"Children need to have regular
periods of aerobic activity as part
of their lifestyles," said Deborah
Squire, associate in the Division of
General Pediatrics and a specialist
in pediatric sports medicine.
Today's exercise-conscious par
ents may try to push their children
into exercise regimens such as those
in the latest toddler-parent exercise
videos, Squire said. These pro
grams are more helpful in teaching
parents how to interact with their
babies than in producing a phys
ically fit child, she said.
"If parents seek to start their
infants on an exercise program
solely to develop athletic prowess
in later life, I have a problem with
that," Squire said. "The key is that
it should be fun and something the
child wants to do.
"My message is not that every
child should be an athlete. But we
have the physical ability for exer
cise, and that's important to our
health," she said.
Squire said anaerobic exericise,
which is marked by bursts of
activity, is not sufficient exercise.
In general, children should do the
aerobic exercise of their choice
three or four times a week for 20
to 30 minutes, she said.
lodooir health dobs offer variety
of fitness services for customers

Although summer is a time when
many people head outdoors, there are
many advantages to indoor health
clubs. They have a lot to offer anyone
who wants to tone up, slim down or
just enjoy some healthy exercise.
The most attractive aspects of a
health club are the several alternatives
available to the exerciser, according
to club employees.
Eastgate Shopping Center's Spa
Health Club, the oldest health club
in the area, is one example. Spa
Health Club offers weightlifting,
aerobics, bicycles and pool activities,

said Dianna Bradley, a fitness coun
selor at the club. Customers can easily
expand their programs to use a sauna
or tanning booth as well, she said.
The availability of fitness counsel
ors is also a major advantage over
exercising alone, Bradley said. Fitness
counselors are able to give clients
professional, personalized service, she
said.
"Every client is interviewed,
weighed and measured to help deter
mine his personal needs," Bradley
said.
Counselors can also give important
information on exercise and on how
to use unfamiliar equipment, and they
can help exercisers create their own
personal fitness programs, she said.
Marty Weeks, a fitness instructor
at The Nautilus Fitness Center in
Chapel Hill, said, "One of the main
advantages of a health club is that
people don't have to buy the Nautilus
equipment, which is very expensive."
Pat Jones, manager of The Gym
on Main Street in Carrboro, said
motivation is the most important
aspect in a health club. People
accomplish very little if they try to
work out on their own, Jones said.
"It's hard to keep the motivation
up when you do it by yourself," he
said.
The health club has experienced
phenomenal growth in the past few
years, he said. People are becoming
more health conscious and exercise
is becoming a very important part of
everyday life.
Jim Grissom, manager of Nautilus,
said, "People who work out on a
regular basis find that exercising is
a way of releasing tension, and
generally, they feel better."
And the growth in the health club
industry should continue, Grissom
said. "There is a lot of room for
growth, and major improvements are
being made in the types of equip
ment," he said.
More than ever, people are asso
ciating physical fitness with longer
life, he said. As the competition grows
in the business world, the health spa
will continue to serve a large market
of men and women who will seek to
improve their health and looks, he
said.
Jones also said he believes the
health club industry will continue to
grow. "The health club will expand
into larger facilities and offer a wider
diversification of activities," he said.
