CARDIO CRUNCH...
Women and men can enjoy a moderate to advanced workout
consisting of muscle toning, aerobics, stretching and
flexing with a lot of fun and good music. Classes are
available in the morning and evening.
STEP AEROBICS...
This low impact workout,
utilizing three-tiered Reebok steps, is a popular class.

fun and easy to follow. Register early, space is limited.
CIRCUIT TRAINING...
Got a busy schedule?
If so, this program is for you. Our Circuit Training Class
combines step aerobics and a complete weight training
routine into a one hour session. Imagine realizing the
benefits of both bench aerobics and weight training in half
the time. If you know the benefits of regular exercise, but
have a busy schedule, this class is for you.

levels.

perform at your best level. The whole body will feel like it
got the work out it deserved as our "drill instructor" like
leaders push you hard. Come join the fun, but you may not
think it's much fun while you are in the middle of the
toughest exercise of your life.
AEROBIC WALKING...
For a great
cardiovascular workout, some good company and conversation,
and an hour outside seeing the town of Peru, aerobic walking
is just the thing. Join the walking group from the “Y”.
Three to four miles are covered in about 50 minutes. This
class is held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays all year
round weather permitting. Also during the summer we have a
morning walk for the early risers.
AQUACISE
... Like
aerobics, but without the sore muscles? Done in the water,
this class uses the water’s resistance to strengthen and
tone muscles and provide a cardiovascular workout, even for
those who do not know how to swim. An added benefit of water
exercise is the ease of pain and stiffness caused by joint
ailments.
NAUTILUS...
For a fitness program that you
can do anytime the “Y” is open, by yourself or with a
friend, Nautilus is the program for you. From a toned look
to the built muscular look, from aerobic machines to muscle
building machines, that’s what we have for you.
WATER WALKING...
If you’re tired of fighting
the weather but still want to walk for fitness, a walk
around the shallow end of our indoor pool will do the trick.
Enjoy the added benefits of water walking. There is little
pull of gravity so it’s easier on your joints and the
water’s resistance causes added cardiovascular and total
body workouts. Also try cross country skiing in the deep
water. This helps tone the abdominal muscles and many other
muscle groups along with the heart.

collaborative wellness program between Dukes Memorial
Hospital and the Miami County YMCA. This program, along with
