“I’m here to make it easy to get you moving,” says Giovanna Abraham.

Co-ordinator in the Office of the Vice-President, Operations, she is one of the instructors for classes for UWindsor faculty and staff run by Lancer Recreation during weekday lunch periods on main campus.

“I believe that workout routines for beginners should help you to feel empowered as you learn new skills, build confidence, and get results!” says Abraham, who adjusts fitness classes for all levels.

One-hour classes begin at noon on the main campus:

• Mondays and Wednesdays — Yoga Mid-day Release with Nicole Daignault
  Enjoy a moderate-to-low-intensity session, including breathing exercises to relax and balance the nervous system, meditation to still the mind, and deep relaxation to rest the body. Location: Oak Room, Vanier Hall
• Tuesdays — Gia Fit Pi-Yo with Giovanna Abraham
  Target your entire body with Pilates and yoga fusion movements that will leave you toned, sculpted, and strong. Finish with breathwork, chakra healing, and other techniques to energize, soothe, or balance the energy in the body and nervous system. Location: Oak Room, Vanier Hall
• Thursdays — Gia Fit Sculpt with Giovanna Abraham
  Get stronger, more toned, and more confident during our total body sculpt class using dumbbells and other equipment. This results-driven workout combines resistance training and targeted exercises to help you build lean muscle, increase strength, and improve overall body composition. Location: Education Gym located between the University Computer Centre and the CAW Student Centre
