New GCC Online Class Teaches Students How to Fit Physical Exercise into Individual Lifestyles
Glendale Community College has designed an innovative new class to teach busy people how to fit exercise creatively into their hectic lives. The Active Living Every Day (ALED) program is like no other exercise class. In fact, students won't exercise at all in Active Living classes. Instead, they'll learn ways to be active every day: at work, at home, on vacation, etc. ALED works because students learn the practical skills to become and stay physically active, such as: overcoming barriers to physical activity, setting realistic goals, building confidence, managing time, and staying motivated. This class is conducted primarily online and meets on the GCC campus only once a month for instructor contact. Class meets online at www.ActiveLiving.info and from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. on the first Friday of each month in room T1-127 on the GCC campus, 6000 W. Olive Ave. in Glendale. Class begins Aug. 19 and costs $125. For information or to register, contact Louise Keogh at
louise.keogh@gcmail.maricopa.edu or at 623.845.3883.
