The
third week of the Eighth Annual Greater
Fall
River Fitness Challenge brought dozens of participants to Re-Creation
on January 28th for an evening bonus session at the
Fall River YMCA and to Greater Fall River
Re-creation for a Saturday morning session on January 31, 2015. Half
of the participants were led through eight different fitness stations by Fitness
Fusion leader Greg Medeiros while Mindy Davis led the other half on
some sixty-second walk and 90-second jogs around the perimeter of the gym.
Those sessions were followed
by a nutrition session led by Southcoast Health Registered Dietitian
Amanda Raposo. The Challenge is sponsored by Greater Fall River
Re-creation, Partners
for a Healthier Community, Saint
Anne's Hospital, and Southcoast
Health, and offers low cost fitness opportunities for those who
live, work or attend school in the Greater Fall River Area programs provided by All
Generations Fitness, Fitness
Fusion, FitWorks, General
Fitness, TKO
Fitness, and the
Fall River YMCA. Click here
