The
first 2012 Challenge Event held at General
Fitness as part of the Fifth Annual Fall
River Fitness Challenge included an opportunity for Challenge participants to
try out spinning and to do some muscle conditioning work on February 1st.
The hour session offered about forty Challenge participants plenty of
opportunity to see what these types of workouts can do to help with
cardiovascular fitness and strength training. Sponsored by the
Diabetes Association, Inc.
(DAI), Community Development Recreation
(CD-REC),
the
Fall River YMCA, General
Fitness and Healthy City Fall
River, and supported 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 closed at the end of January with over
650 adults weighing-in at these locations and at their workplace in
the coming weeks. Click
