This Week in Michigan Tech Recreation
With fun music and traditional aquatic fitness disciplines, Aqua Zumba blends it all together into a workout that’s mixed with cardio, body toning, and is most of all exhilarating. Land-based Zumba dance steps are more exaggerated and slower in the water.
Michigan Tech Recreation is hosting an indoor triathlon for MTU students and SDC members! Unlike a traditional triathlon, which covers fixed distances of swimming, biking, and running, indoor triathlons challenge competitors to race the greatest distance with a fixed time frame. Beginners and seasoned athletes are welcome to participate in the 10-minute swim, 15-minute bike, and 10-minute run! This event is FREE, but you must register in order to participate. Registration opens March 2! Register at buyhuskiestickets.com.
Our March seminar is a rare opportunity to train with a world-class Aikido instructor in a small intimate setting. Gleason Shihan will focus on the internal applications of Aiki to one’s Aikido practice. For MTU students & Aikido club members, the full seminar (all four sessions) is $125 OR purchase a single session for $35.
The SDC spring break building schedule has been announced. Visit michigantechrecreation.com for the SDC’s facility hours from March 4- March 13.
