In the parking lot, teachers and other adults participate in a yoga and palliates fusion workout to get in shape called “X Fit 2 U.”
At Bowie, there are two different locations and times to take advantage of this fitness opportunity.  Near the weight room on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursday at 6 am to 9 am is one option.  The other is after school in the parking lot Monday through Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Rachael Brown, the owner and founder of the organization, coaches at Bowie and provides an energetic, fun environment.
To sign up, you can go to www.xfit2u.com or call 512-251-XFIT (9348).
The association raises money for U.S. Wounded Warriors, the National Childhood Obesity Foundation (NCOF), and the American Cancer Society.
The organization has expanded tremendously; starting with about eight people it now has grown to about 15 teachers and staff members.
Life skills teacher Marita Jamison started participating in X Fit 2 U about a year ago and has seen incredible results.
“The weight loss has really made a huge difference, I definitely feel a whole lot better about myself and I eat a lot better than I have ever in my entire life.  It has really created a situation in which I have been a positive role model for my daughters,” Jamison said.
Jamison has her friends and co-workers that keep her going and inspire her to go before and after school.
“Having the opportunity to exercise with other people that help keep me going and keep me motivated and that are co-workers, it really changes the dynamics in the work setting in which I find myself much happier and more social,” Jamison said.  That motivation piece is really crucial in keeping me going and keeping them going.”
