YWCA invites full- figured women to aquatics exercise class

The YWCA Hawaii Island in downtown Hilo has begun registering participants for a new aquatics class for full-figured women on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:15 to 6 p.m.

“Pool exercises are specifically designed for the plus-sized woman to learn balance, improve muscle tone, trim and strengthen the body. Participants will also learn to modify water exercises for use on land to continue the exercise program at home.,” said spokeswoman Mililani Hughes.

The class will make use of the YWCA’s heated pool for exercises which put less stress on the joints, allowing mobility and comfortable movement. Coordinators are calling it the Divine Divas’ Dose of Inspiration, and they hope to provide healthy exercise and inspiration for full-figured women.

Cost is $45 per month and the classes begin in September. To sign up, please call the Membership Services Office at 935-7141. The YWCA is located at 145 Ululani St. in Hilo.
