Mystery workouts to be held every Friday
By Juan Lopez
The Department of Recreational Sports will be hosting TGIF WOD, a weekly mystery workout, from noon to 12:30 p.m. every Friday on Zoom.
WOD stands for “workout of the day.”
The classes will be running until the end of April, and students interested in joining in can do so through JagSync.
“We have to try and maintain our fitness with what’s going on,” said Vangie Garza, a group fitness instructor with the Department of Recreational Sports.
“Doing these classes at home is good for you to maintain your physical fitness,” she said.
Students can expect the unexpected as each workout will be chosen by the instructor and premiered the day of each event. The classes could include upper body, lower body, or various weighted workouts.
Workouts will be inclusive as all fitness levels are welcome to participate in these weekly sessions.
Equipment such as weights or bands are optional but not required for those interested in participating.

JagFit hosts AMPD Power Flow yoga classes

The Department of Recreational Sports is hosting AMPD Power Flow yoga classes from noon to 12:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday on Zoom.
Classes started March 2 and end April 30. Students can log in for the class through JagSync or register through JagFit.
It is important for students and staff to engage with others and do something that benefits themselves, said Teresa de la Torre, fitness instructor.
Self-care is important right now and it’s good to have something outside of work that you can do to keep your mind and body active, de la Torre said.
“AMPD Power Flow takes yoga-inspired movements combined with kettlebells and resistance bands to create an amazing, low-impact strength training workout for all levels and abilities,” de la Torre said.
Participants can choose whether to use optional resistance bands and low-impact weights.
For more information about AMPD Power Flow, contact de la Torre at tdelator@tamusa.edu.
