The
ninth week of the Eighth Annual Greater
Fall
River Fitness Challenge brought over 50 participants to
Re-creation headquarters on March 14, 2015 for an hour-long session led
by Ray Gendreau of FitWorks.
Ray led the group through a series of exercises designed to strengthen the
inner core of muscles that are often the source of back and neck pains.
The exercises require a lot of "floor work" on mats, and Ray
would alternate between upright and prone positions throughout the hour.
