FOLC

This component of Fit Friendly is an exercise program for women of all cultures in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood. It is held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00- 4:00pm in the dining room at 630 Cedar Ave. The program is funded by the Compassion Capital Fund and is a capacity building endeavor for the coordinator, a Somali woman from the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, as well as the participants. Exercises are taught by professional instructors. Blood pressure, number of steps taken during the class, weight, waist circumference, and pulse before and after exercise are recorded. The women use hand weights, pedometers, therma-bands, step-platforms and exercise pads during the exercise session. Equipment has been donated by individual partners of FOLC and McDonalds.
