Berrios Hosts Final Fitness Workshop

April 17th, 2013   

CHICAGO, IL – This week, State Rep. Maria A. “Toni” Berrios (D-Chicago) held her final fitness workshop this week to give residents the opportunity to learn self-defense.

In honor of American Heart Month, Berrios wanted to provide the community with the opportunity to exercise in a fun manner. Earlier in the month, International Traditional Karate Association hosted a free introductory karate workshop. Following the Karate event, Sway Dance Chicago provided a Latin dance workshop for people of all ages. Over 80 residents took the initiative to be heart healthy and participate in Berrios’ fitness workshops.

“What better way of preventing cardiovascular disease than to bring a community together through exercise,” Berrios said. “This fitness series would not have been possible without the cooperation and support from these businesses, and I want to thank those involved for helping orchestrate another successful fitness series” Berrios said.
