Breaking Down the Wall to Health!

Boca Raton, FL – Broward County Parks and Recreation Division’s Special Populations Section, in partnership with the Supportabilities Foundation, offers another round of the Cross-Round Fitness program, to teach self-defense through non-contact boxing and to promote physical fitness through adaptive exercises. The program, for ages 18 and up with physical disabilities, runs on Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30PM, starting on July 10th and ending on August 28th. The venue is the Oak Ridge Hall at Tree Tops Park (3900 SW 100th Ave., Davie 33328; 954-357-5130).

Each class will consist of a warmup, an introduction to defense techniques and boxing drills, cardiovascular and agility exercises, and a cooldown. Participants will be assessed on a  measure of body mass index (BMI). The program will introduce strategies of self-defense and adaptive exercises for participants to develop physical, emotional, and social confidence in themselves. Consistent attendance is required for the eight weeks, as each week participants will build on techniques and exercises learned in the prior week’s class.
