The
14th Challenge event took
place at General
Fitness
in the Durfee-Union mill complex on March 1, 2014. Over fifty Challenge
participants split into a step aerobics class with Pauline Souza or a
spinning class with Wendy Rapoza. "Step aerobics was a lot more
difficult than it looked at first" said Challenge participant Leonard
Pittsley who was trying it for the first time. Dr. David Weed followed the work-out with a
discussion of low-carb
diets. Sponsored by
