Metropolitan Baptist Church launches Health Initiative

Health Watch 2008 is an initiative coordinated by The Garment's Hem, Inc. to promote healthy eating and physical activity for Metropolitan Baptist Church members and the surrounding communities. As a part of this ongoing effort we are offering a series of exercise classes to provide opportunities for increased physical activity.

These classes include a senior fitness, yoga, pilates, Extreme Fitness, gospel aerobics, core training, cardio kickboxing, and step aerobics. Each class will be offered the same day for at least 3 weeks over an 8 week period this fall. In addition, we are conducting fitness assessments on September 24, 25, and 27th in Largo and DC. Fitness assessments measure your current level of fitness, can aid in goal setting and tracking your progress, and increase motivation.

Please register to take a fitness assessment on one of the days being offered and to participate in the various classes being offered. The classes are free of charge and are open to all persons 16 and over. Classes are being offered at all activity levels. However, for persons who have never participated in an exercise class or who have preexisting health conditions we recommend contacting your physician for permission before participating
