More than 50 women came out to the “Kappa Kardio Zone,” a 90-minute interactive cardio class, led by third-year nursing student Jess DeBiase at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house Tuesday evening.
Participants were charged a $3 admission fee that benefitted Girls on the Run, a nonprofit group that works to encourage preteen girls to develop healthy lifestyles through participation in running programs.
During breaks, Columbia’s Girls on the Run Director Mary Lohman showed the women warm-up exercises she does with girls she works with.
“It is such a good organization, and I really stand behind their values,” DeBiase said.
