MCRD/ERR PARRIS ISLAND, S.C.(Oct. 4, 2007) -- The Depot's got a plan to get Marines and family members that buff body in time for the ball. The Combat Fitness Center kicked off the annual Ball Body Challenge fitness program Monday.
It is basically for the participants to get a chance to get in shape, tone, make friends and make it easier to continue working out, said Michele Brittingham, a fitness center personal trainer and aerobics instructor at the fitness center.
The free-of-charge program, which is open to military personnel, their families and Department of Defense personnel, includes four weeks of beginner to advanced physical training.
I work out anyway and this is a good way to do different cross training, said Veronica Justice, one of this year's participants. She's the wife of Cpl. Troy Justice, a clerk at the Depot's disbursing office who is currently deployed to Iraq. I want to lose a few pounds, tone, make friends and learn different workout techniques.
Not all the takers are new to the challenge. Tina Gonzales, wife of Staff Sgt. Oneil Gonzales, a drill instructor at Support Battalion, joined in on last year's challenge, too.
I want to get in shape for the ball and for myself, Gonzales said.
Gonzales also said it'll be easier for her to keep exercising once she gets into the routine.
The fall fitness program is designed to provide a support system and an approachable setting to help participants lose weight and burn fat before dancing the night away in a ball gown or Blue Dress uniform.
The ball challenge is perfect timing because everybody is worried about how they look in a dress or their blues, Brittingham explained.
The classes are held Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, at 9 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. at the fitness center.
The classes combine circuit training, body sculpting and functional fitness, and each day will utilize a different workout. The trainers will also give handouts about everything from proper shoe wear to nutrition and hydration to provide a complete fitness package.
There will be speed drills and just a variety of workouts, Brittingham explained. They will also get workouts to do on their own. We are also offering 10 personal training sessions after the challenge is over.
While sign-up deadlines for the current program have expired, fitness center patrons can still join in on the classes. However, they will not receive a certificate of completion after the challenge is over.
The fitness center also offers a 12-week-long workout program for Department of Defense personnel and their families. A personal trainer develops a custom fitness program based on the initial fitness/health consultation. After that, the trainer and the trainee will meet every three weeks to check on the trainee's progress and to adjust workout technique and intensity as needed.
No matter what workout plan is followed, daily exercise and weight control should be the foundation of a healthy lifestyle.
But exercise is only half the battle; a fit body needs good food, too.
Marine Corps Community Services Health Promotions, located at MCAS Beaufort and Naval Hospital Beaufort offers nutrition and weight management classes.
We're all here for one thing, that is for the families, Marines and retirees, Brittingham said.
