The 2010 Asbury Park Boardwalk Health and Fitness Challenge
Posted on: 02/08/2010
We had a great turnout for our kick-off of the Asbury Park Boardwalk Health & Fitness Challenge this past Sunday. We had a full room for celebrity chef Diane Henderiks Nutrition 101 class where she taught us about the basic nutrients that fuel our bodies. She’s funny, friendly and informative. It was no simple lecture…lots of question and answer as well. The fitness class, Fitness Boxing with National Silver Gloves Champion, Terry Fisher, also had a great crowd. He led the class through a fun & fast paced program that combined fundamental boxing skills (non-contact) with conditioning drills. Fish (Terry Fisher of Real Elite Training Center) is an amazing instructor…funny, energetic and supportive. They were both so phenomenal!at combines fundamental boxing skills (non-contact) w/basic conditioning & flexibility drills

About Mookie: Mookie has been working at Brielle Cyclery for over 2 years, and always has had a passion for riding bicycles. Starting out when he was about 3 he has been riding ever since. “I always rode bikes as a kid but never as much as I do now. I started to ride bikes more when I moved up to Monmouth County about 8 years ago. I moved up here, didn't know many people or the area. I bought a bike and started to explore. I started looking around at the parks that we have up here, and the different terrain from where I grew up, and was hooked and didn't want to stop riding my bike. I even changed my career which was working doing outside sales, and working in surf shops to running Brielle Cyclery in Asbury Park to be around bikes”.
