Fitness for Life


Fitness for Life (FFL) is a lifestyle change program designed to help people develop a personal fitness and health improvement program. Physical activity is a vital part of any good health program. Exercise helps burn excess calories, lowers blood sugar levels and blood pressure, strengthens the bones, muscles and heart, and builds energy levels.
