From working out to walkin Health stari By ANDREA L. SWEET Staff Writer Editor's note: This is the first of a three part series. If you're hoping to look like a Hollywood hunk or starlet, L tritionists and trainers at gyms say diet and exercise are the staying in tip-top form. Evelyn Bailey, nutritionist and owner of Bailey's Shaklee Na Columbia health store, said, "After my marriage and first chil age of 19, I noticed problems in my health ? backaches, he and nervous tics ? that all were attributed to the imbalance in i Never had I really realized the relationship between nutrition an until I heard other people talking of their problems, but food ments and a balance of fiber is important," she said. Coley Brown, a trainer at the Columbia Athletic Club, said 30 percent of our members keep up the process of losing wei eating. See, exercise is the major factor involved, and most Am if they could get out of doing something, would," he said. Many students said health isn't always their primary rea working out in the gyms. "Older people go for health reasons bi ger people go to look slim, trim and beautiful," broadcasting fi Sandrea Longshore said. The Sol Blatt P.E. Center is a major attraction for all. Sop Ahmad Simone, who works the desk in the gym, said the gyr rons usually range from 19 to 21 years old, with a few 30- and * olds showing up. Some go to let off steam, others to lose weig ball, and some just to be seen, he said. Early childhood education freshman Stefanie Bisom said, " lose weight.

"I don't go to get fit, I go to shoot ball. My body is already n's pat- physically fit, so mainly I go to interact and engage in intramural 10-year- sports," engineering freshman Samuel Capers said. ;ht, play Simone noted that more people go to the the gym each semester. "I've seen older people come into the gym to play racquetball who I go to seem as if they are going to cry if they can't play. They're here for the lose 15 thrill, and this also helps to serve as a stress reliever," he said, im and Fitness is also demonstrated in healthy skin and proper blood flow, FREE in the Campus Rec j; with US?? 777-5261 for 3 j Kineh's? ?I RESTAURANT ^Hlf* Free Parking In Back /s>^53~. t?

But what do you do to get fit? Consult a doctor or start a diet on your own? Bailey advises students to be careful about the method of dieting they chose because some diets are dangerous to their health. "Most people have a general idea of how to diet, yet some make the mistake of starving themselves and at Bailey's we try to encourage everyone to be moderate in eating habits," Bailey said. Many diets nowadays are not aimed at providing people with proper eating habits but rather at determining how many calories a person consumes. Nutritionists say 1,000 calories is the lowest amount anyone should limit themselves to because 600 is the amount needed for survival. Bailey advises changing your calorie intake so your body will not become dehydrated and drained. The best way to get healthy is to eat breakfast and exercise daily, and to include a multi-vitamin supplement and lots of water in your diet, Bailey said. She noted that people thinking of dieting under the direction of a consulting company should extensively research them first reation Program, more inf^^a|i^n^y Room 331 Russell House, Phone 777-6460 H RECORDBAR COLUMBIA Dutch Square Mall [TRACKS| COLUMBIA Harden St., Five Points 779-6046, I : jl For all your camping needs...tents, lanterns, sleeping bags, stoves, etc. Hours: Monday 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. ?
