Fit things to do: Free after-work bootcamp
Starting today, the Boston Health Commission's free fitness on the plaza classes will expand to include a free after-work Fitcorp Bootcamp class.
The classes are free as part of the Boston Moves for Health program, and will be held from 5:30 p..m to 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday on City Hall Plaza at Government Center (July 11 - Aug. 29, except Aug. 15).
According to the public health commission's Boston Moves site, these classes are designed to emphasize endurance and strength using a variety of drills and techniques to hit all the major muscle groups. And, I'm told by their assistant director of communications, Katinka Podmaniczky, they are designed so that people of all fitness levels can participate (so you don't have to be a triathlete to try it out.)
Advanced registration is not required, but participants are asked to arrive 10 minutes prior to the class.
Bootcamp is part of a series of free exercise classes offered on City Hall Plaza as part of Boston Moves for Health. Other classes include morning yoga classes and morning bootcamp.
