The higher the muscle mass, the more calories you burn each day. 9. Better mood: Research has found that by ex- ercising 3 to 4 times a week is a great way to improve your mood. You relieve stress, and can make you happier. Oneida Family Fitness Center invites you to try a martial art class of your choice. Classes in Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, Inayan Eskrima, Danzan Ryu Ju Jitsu are given Monday thru Thursday.
