Fall is full of personal favorites – crisp weather, delicious food, football weekends, and pumpkin everything. Unfortunately, those great things can also be a recipe for falling off the fitness wagon.
The College Station Parks & Recreation Department can help you stay on course with a variety of exercise programs and opportunities at the newly renovated and expanded Lincoln Recreation Center.
Our fitness classes are the perfect way to keep your workouts fun, challenging and effective while adding a social element that keeps you coming back. The Lincoln Recreation Center also offers a fitness center equipped with cardio machines, a weight-training circuit, single-station machines and a complete range of free-weight equipment.
During open gym hours, you can work on your basketball skills, meet friends and simply be active. You must be at least 18 years old to participate in the classes or take advantage of the fitness center or open gym.

I love that you referenced how practicing with others can assist you with remaining inspired and make turning out to be more enjoyable. I need to persuade my cousin to get more fit since he invests such a great amount of energy at a work area when he is grinding away, however he says that he can never discover the inspiration to keep up a week by week schedule. Perhaps on the off chance that he and I get a rec center enrollment, we can have a great time practicing together.
