Announcing "Be Fabulously Fit 2-4-6-8"
At the Pavilion at Cape Harbour
Every Monday, Thursday & Friday
9:05am to 10:05am
The fastest, most-efficient, and functional way to get stronger AND burn more fat at the same time is to perform full-body exercises as part of your workout routine.
Total-body exercises are compound movements meaning they require you to use more than one joint at a time, unlike isolated exercises, which target only one muscle at atime and require the use of only one joint.
This BFF class will take your total-body through 2-4-6-8 minutes of interval training. Class format is fun, social and challenging. It combines the best of both worlds; your BFF and exercise!
Pre Registration is required and a minimum of 6 participants must be enrolled or class will becanceled.

As guest curator, Barbara Anderson Hill's intent for this exhibition was to expand on the 30 year Theo Wujcik retrospective, 1970-2000, co-curated by James Rosenquist and Margaret Miller, which premiered at Florida's Gulf Coast Museum of Art. She states, "Wujcik is masterful at combining appropriated images and patterns from our contemporary culture into a confluence of fragmented, complex works filled with symbolism, metaphor, humor and irony. Wujcik is led by his passionate curiosity to examine seemingly unrelated subject matter, ranging from interior décor to global warming to hero worship. Wujcik’s mental archive of loose associations converges with his technical precision to produce riffs of brilliantly painted canvases. Using visual clues, portraits are obscured by p…

Announcing "Be Fabulously Fit 2-4-6-8"
At the Pavilion at Cape Harbour
Every Monday, Thursday & Friday
9:05am to 10:05am
The fastest, most-efficient, and functional way to get stronger AND burn more fat at the same time is to perform full-body exercises as part of your workout routine.
Total-body exercises are compound movements meaning they require you to use more than one joint at a time, unlike isolated exercises, which target only one muscle at atime and require the use of only one joint.
This BFF class will take your total-body through 2-4-6-8 minutes of interval training. Class format is fun, social and challenging. It combines the best of both worlds; your BFF and exercise!
Pre Registration is required and a minimum of 6 participants must be enrolled or class will becanceled.

She states, "Wujcik is masterful at combining appropriated images and patterns from our contemporary culture into a confluence of fragmented, complex works filled with symbolism, metaphor, humor and irony. Wujcik is led by his passionate curiosity to examine seemingly unrelated subject matter, ranging from interior décor to global warming to hero worship. Wujcik’s mental archive of loose associations converges with his technical precision to produce riffs of brilliantly painted canvases. Using visual clues, portraits are obscured by p…
