    Work Out, Give Back at JCC This Thanksgiving

8 a.m.-noon Thanksgiving Day, JCC Fieldhouse

             This year, enjoy Thanksgiving dinner without guilt!  Work out at the Jackson Community College Fieldhouse before tackling the turkey and stuffing.  JCC will host its annual Can-Can Workout from 8 a.m. to noon Thanksgiving Day, November 22.  Admission is two cans of food per person. 

                 The Can-Can Workout is an opportunity for the community to use the Fieldhouse facilities, participate in introductory physical fitness classes and give something back to the community at the same time.  The canned food collected will benefit the Jackson Interfaith Shelter.  The Can-Can Workout began more than 10 years ago at JCC as an opportunity for students to get involved in the community and help the underprivileged in the area.

                The Fieldhouse will be open from 8 a.m. to noon with Fitness Center access and open walking.  Introductory classes will occur throughout the morning: at 8:15 a.m. spinning; 9:15 a.m. circuit training; and 11 a.m. light walking.   Events are open to all adults.  

                 JCC's Fieldhouse facilities include an indoor jogging track, three one-wall racquetball courts, two full-size basketball courts, two volleyball courts, lockers for men and women and accommodations for those with disabilities.   The Fitness Center provides weight conditioning and aerobic conditional options.  For more information, call (517) 796-8248.
