Personal Trainer Amy Jones of  Where Is The Work-Out, who has been offering Cardio Kickboxing and classes at Community Development Recreation (CD-REC) at 72 Bank Street as part of the 2009 Fitness Challenge, held one of her fitness courses recently at Heritage State Park overlooking Battleship Cove. These classes are held at various locations throughout Fall River, including Kennedy Park and North Park, and Heritage State Park. Abdominal muscles require exercise to get them in shape, and her course puts participants through an hour of stretching and movements that work those muscles. Many participants have been taking advantage of the reduced rates for classes offered through the Challenge. Click here for photos of last year's class. Contact CD-REC Program Director Grace Gerling, 508-679-0922, for more information.
