Catching the Workout Spirit

Salisbury University recently added Focus T25 to its list of group fitness programs. T25 is the newest workout video by Shaun T, creator of the popular workout program Insanity. While traditional Zumba and yoga classes offered at the university are good for getting a better body, T25 is two levels ahead. Forum users who have attempted the high-intensity program said they lost up to 300 calories per workout. And in case you couldn't figure it out, each workout is only 25 minutes long. That means you start, and you're done in no time. Forget 8 Minute Abs, this exercise is the real deal.

The calories aren't only burning on the SU campus, but throughout the shore. 2014 is the first year of business for Planet Fitness, which is located off of West College Avenue in Salisbury, just east of the college. While the University currently has two full fitness centers (Maggs Gym, and University Fitness Club), the space which formally housed a Super Fresh  grocery store is attracting many locals looking to get in shape.

Run or Dye, "the world's most colorful 5k" is coming to Salisbury in May. At 3.1 miles, the 5k will be no easy task for your average couch potato. But, just drive around the area and you'll see many people training for the event. Starting at the Demarva Shorebirds' Perdue Stadium, the event on May 10th of this year will be an exciting event that will be inviting to many shore residents.

Lets not forget that Salisbury is also home to the annual cycling marathon, Sea Gull Century. A number of other gyms and fitness clubs are also located in the area. With all of the interest in fitness blowing over Delmarva, there's no doubt that Ocean City will be full of good looking guys and gals this summer.
