Student Column:
Where to Work Out in the Lake Norman Area
By Sarah Lucander 
All Upper School students at Pine Lake are required to log 40 hours of physical activity each year, and if you aren't on a sports team you might be wondering where to get your exercise in. I know a few good spots in the Lake Norman area where you can complete your hours and exercise your way to a healthier you!
One of my favorite places to go to burn calories and relieve stress is Fast Fit Boxing. If you're having a hard week at school, the easiest way to get rid of the unwanted tension is to jab, cross and roundhouse kick your way to a fitter you! Located in Cornelius near Jetton Park, this boxing workout combined with weights is perfect for those who enjoy getting pumped up for their workouts. Be prepared to sweat, work hard, and have fun!
Another outstanding place for physical activity is Community Yoga, located near the entrance between Cornelius and Davidson. This quaint yoga studio is a better pick for those looking to relax and unwind from a stressful day. Some of the core classes here include hatha yoga, gentle yoga, vinyasa (flow yoga), and pilates.
For those looking for a yoga studio closer to the Jetton Park area, Gotta Yoga is an upbeat alternative. This unique studio features aerial yoga (practicing yoga through aerial silks), and stretch classes key for improving flexibility and posture.
For those not interested in boxing or yoga, Kadi Fit is a great option. This exercise studio located in Cornelius holds several heart pumping dance classes including Kardio Karve and Boga. You can dance, lift and sculpt your way to a leaner body and a clearer mind.
These are a few fantastic places to get your physical activity hours logged in.
Sincerely,
Sarah Lucander
