State Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) announced $50,000 in state funding for the Countdown to Fitness program at a luncheon on Saturday at the Shorehaven Community Center.
Nearly 70 women from the south Bronx received certificates from Senator Klein for completing the 10-week fitness program. Participants took Zumba, kickboxing and dance classes; learned how to make healthy and delicious recipes like baked apples, sauteed cauliflower and cucumber blueberry salad; and learned more about immunizations, heart disease, cancer screenings and stress management. Another 10-week session will be held in the Spring.
