Coed slimnastics lures New Yorkers to improve figures
In New York, about 200 residents attend Monday evening Coed slimnastics at the Stuyvesant Adult Center. Led by Charlie Sharkey, the eight week course costs $15 and aims to trim flab and tone muscles. Despite initial groans, many stay, hoping to shape up for summer. The program is part of a broader set of adult education courses with over 19,000 participants this year, spanning cooking, languages, Tai Chi, and more.
