Exercising is one of the keys to healthy living.

The fitness center, which is located on the north side of Gil Bishop Sports Center, is a facility that provides a wide variety of information, equipment and an atmosphere that caters to college students of all ages.

The center is continuously supervised at all times by an instructor, said Jenny Dahl, who was on duty Wednesday morning.

Exercise equipment is arranged to keep the heart rate up and to work every major muscle group in the body during each session, said Dahl.

There is also a separate weight room at the east end of the center for students adding muscle mass.

Everyone who chooses to use the fitness center must attend an orientation.

Covered during this session are the check in and out procedures, demonstration of warm-up and cool-down exercises, explanation of aerobic and weight room equipment and also a demonstration of how to properly use each of the machines.

In addition to the locker check out, students also must sign a consent agreement.

Once completing the orientation, students can use the center without limitation.

All students must use the computer check-in system when they use the center.
