I would like to welcome you, our students, Faculty and Staff to the Campus Recreation Department. The Recreation Center is more than just a Fitness Center or an Aquatics Com-plex. It is a community that builds pride by developing a social atmo-sphere and stimulating participation in our campus and University life. Your involvement in Campus Recreation can come in several areas: Intramural Tournaments, Kayak Days on the Bay, Group Exercise Programs, just to name a few of our activities.

Campus Recreation offers opportunities for students to become involved and it is a vital Panther Point for your campus. Student and Faculty and Staff involvement in Campus Recreation enhances one’s self-satisfaction and improves physical and mental health. Leadership opportunities arise through the many sports, activities, and programs offered. Our department opened our doors to a new 70,000 square foot complex, January 22, 2009. There is a state of the art Fitness Center, Group Exercise Studio, spacious locker rooms, newly renovated Aquatic Training Complex (which has an Olympic Training Pool and Competition Diving Well), a campus wide running track and basketball and tennis courts. The opportunities that you have to get involved are here for you to access. All of this is possible through student funding by our Student Government Association. We invite you to get involved and be part of an ever growing component to the University communi-ty. The FIU Campus Recreation Department is your home for a life-time, whether as a member of the student body, alumni or Faculty and Staff. On behalf of all the Campus Recreation Staff – Welcome to RECREATION! Enjoy the journey!

Sincerely,

Elias BardawilDirector of Campus Recreation

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS


Ab Lab: A thirty minute Ab and core workout instructed by Silky. Targets the stubborn belly fat as well as inner and outer obliques and lower back for a stronger, tighter, ripped core.

Belly Dance: A low-impact cardiovascular exercise that also helps strengthen muscles, especially the back and abdominal muscles. Belly dancing is also very sensual, which may help boost confidence and self-esteem.

Bokwa: A new and completely different approach to group exercise that is rapidly spreading across the globe. Bokwa participants draw letters and numbers with their feet while performing an energizing and addictive cardio workout routine. Moving together to today’s most popular music, participants off all ages draw the Bokwa L, 3, J, K and dozens of other steps. Because the steps are structured as letters and numbers everyone can do Bokwa.

Brazilian Body Lift: This dance exercise class is designed to lift your butt, tighten your abs and tone your entire body. Embodying the essence of Brazil through dance, movement and music, this class is a fun and energetic way to get in shape. You’ll be sure to break a sweat with this hour-long strength training, samba dancing workout.

Bust Your Abs: Work your core like never before. This 30 minute gut busting class will guide you on your way to a wash board stomach. A perfect compliment right before or after any other group exercise class.

CABARRET: A perfect blend of sultry jazz and calorie-burning, muscle-sculpting movement. CABARRET uses the ballet bar as both support and a prop, expanding the repertory of exercises to work all major muscle groups. The bar work also serves its original purpose - to prepare the body to DANCE! CABARRET dance fitness classes crescendo in a series of fun, sexy dances that burn calories, improve coordination and leave you feeling fabulous!

Dance Fusion: This class is a mix of exotic and energetic rhythms from the Middle East (Belly Dance), India (Bollywood), and Polynesia (Drums and Hula Torch) combined with new era moves.

Extreme Cardio Burn: A high intensity cardio class. ‘ECB’ incorporates stepping, Interval training, (basic) dancing and jumping to make you feel the burn. This class is great for anyone who’s interested in starting, amping up or just alternating their cardio regime. The only weight you’ll be lifting in this class is your body weight. The name says it all! Extreme Cardio Burn will make you sweat in a fun and challenging way. So, bring your towels and your water bottle and get ready to sweat yourself fit!

Get Fit Bootcamp: An Interval training workout mixing body weight resistance with Cardio training for an ultimate fat-burning, toning and fitness session.

INSANITY: A revolutionary cardio-based total-body conditioning program based on the principles of MAX Interval Training. By using MAX Interval Training, INSANITY pushes you to new training heights, resulting in more calories burned, faster results, and a more efficient metabolism. INSANITY is a pre-designed interval class that requires no equipment and provides you with the perfect group-exercise adaptation of the wildly popular at-home INSANITY workout.

P90X Cardio: A high-intensity program that combines yoga, strength training and kickboxing into a series of sessions designed to help you burn through body fat and tone up.

Pilates: Pilates is a system of controlled exercises that engage the mind and condition the total body. The blend of strength and flexibility training improves posture, reduces stress and creates long, lean muscles without bulking up. Pilates takes a balanced approach so that no muscle group is overworked and the body moves as an efficient, holistic system in sport and daily activity.

Reggae Fit: A new innovation in fitness! A new way to have fun, learn dance moves, and get fit… ALL IN ONE! We have combined light, high energy aerobics with the instruction of Caribbean dance moves ‐ to the eclectic sounds and intense beats of popular REGGAE music!
