Stephens' metabolic conditioning class often includes a circuit training workout, which incorporates the use of resistance bands, punching bag, balance balls, free weights and good old fashioned body weight resistance. Krissy Barlow (left) said her participation in the class has helped to improve her physical health and appearance. "So far I've lost 3 inches in my waist, and I'm much more toned," she said.
Certified personal trainer Anna Stephens provides instruction to Lindsy Palisca, Stephanie Lowery and Krissy Barlow, as part of the metabolic conditioning class offered through Camas Parks and Recreation. Stephens said she aims to provide a workout that is varied and fun. Held at Lacamas Lake Lodge, she often takes the class outside, when weather permits. "I like to change it up so people don't get bored," Stephens said.
Stephens said the punching bag is among her students' favorite activities in the metabolic conditioning class. This summer, she will incorporate activities using playground equipment at the nearby Heritage Park into the workouts.
