BROWARD COUNTY, 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 Tuesdays, starting on August 31st and ending on October 19th. Seven spots are available from 5:30 to 6:15PM, and seven for 6:30 to 7:15PM.

The program will take place in the Fountain Room at Plantation Heritage Park (1100 S Fig Tree Lane, Plantation 33317; 954-357-5135).

Each class will consist of a warmup, an introduction to defense techniques and boxing drills, cardiovascular and agility exercises, and a cooldown. 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 entire session, as each week participants will build on techniques and exercises learned in the prior week’s class.

The program is free, but class size is limited. For further information or to register, call Special Populations at 954-357-8170, or email SpecialPopulations@Broward.org.
