Fitness Class Challenge [Townsquare Sunday]

It's time for the Fitness Class Challenge. It's a  six-week program sponsored by tthe New Bedford Wellness Initiative urging area residents to get in shape and adopt a healthier lifestyle. The best part is the cost is completely free. Programs include nutrition demonstrations, fitness classes, meditation and more. Cardiologist Dr. Michael Rocha of Hawthorn Medical Associates and Co-Director Julie Fostin organize the program. Dr. Rocha and Julie Fostin join Jim Phillips this week on Townsquare Sunday to discuss the Fitness Class Challenge, some of the programs available, and how you can get involved. All activities will take place at the Boys and Girls Club of New Bedford on Sundays, except for the Walk with the Doc on Saturdays at Buttonwood Park.
