The
third Challenge Event of the Fifth Annual Fall
River Fitness Challenge was held at the Veterans' Memorial Auditorium
on a snowy January 21st. Originally slated as a 5K walk to Independence
Park and back, the weather dictated that the event be held indoors.
Participants divided into four groups, each
doing five minutes of a different exercise interspersed by five laps of
the gym. "People got a good workout without overdoing it at their
first event," noted Challenge Coordinator Annemarie Sharkey.
Organized by the
Diabetes Association, Inc.
(DAI), Community Development Recreation
(CD-REC),
the
Fall River YMCA, General
Fitness and Healthy City Fall
River, and sponsored by Partners
for a Healthier Community, the Challenge offers low cost opportunities for those who
live, work or attend school in Greater Fall River to get fit, lose weight, have
fun and win prizes. Registration is open through the end of January, and many people will register and weigh-in at their workplace in
the coming weeks. Click
