ROCK CLIMBING WALLMCAS Beaufort Fitness Center

As you begin to rock climb your body will be forced into some posi-tions it may never have visited previously. Rock climbing is made up of a series of reaches with both your hands and feet. New climbers report sore forearms, hands, fingers and calf muscles.

As you begin to learn to reach and stretch your limbs to find the very tiny holds that your fingers and toes will grip desperately in order to stay on the wall, your body will be working to provide balance, coordination and mental focus.

Climbers will quickly begin to develop arm, back, finger and core strength as a result of the many reaches and holds that are repeated over and over through the completion of one climb. Climbers are successful with more difficult ascents only after working to improve the strength and endurance of their calves, shoulders, and core; their agility; strength-to-weight ratio; and flexibility in hips and ham-strings.

Rock climbing is an excellent sport to participate in to increase your level of fitness.

An old man is found wandering in the Arizona desert, apparently demented, talking in rhymes. In his pocket is a diagram of a 14th - century monastery in France that is being excavated by a team of archaeologists from Yale University halfway around the world. The team is soon sent to a secretive multinational corporation that has developed time-travel technology. Altogether they possess great knowledge of the 14th century - or so they thought. They �nd themselves in a world which teaches them how little they really know.

AFTER THE FALL, BEFORE THE FALL, DURING THE FALL by Nancy Kress

In 2035 after ecological disasters have nearly destroyed the Earth, twenty-six survivors are imprisoned in a sterile enclosure built by an alien race known as the Shell. Though the Earth appears to be slowly healing itself, the survivors may not live long enough to repopulate it. Their only hope lies within randomly brief time-portals into the recent past, where the surviving teenagers are abducting children to increase their gene pool. Meanwhile in 2013, Julie Kahn works with the FBI to solve the kidnappings and begins to realize her role in simultaneously a�ecting the Earth and the Shell.

BLACKOUTby Connie Willis

When a time-travel lab in 2060 suddenly cancels assignments for no apparent reason, time-traveling historians �nd themselves in World War II facing air raids, blackouts, unexploded bombs and two of the most incorrigible children in all of history. They begin to have a feeling that not only their assignments but the war and history itself are spiraling out of control.

THE EXCALIBUR ALTERNATIVEby David Weber

The aliens who abducted 14th-century Englishmen are about to learn that they make dangerous pets. It may take a century or so, but the aliens discover what happens when the sword �nally comes out of the stone.
