Mayor launches fitness challenge at Daisy Stocking Park with health fair and superhero theme

The City of Daytona Beach held a lively meeting on January 17, 2025, to discuss the ongoing Mayor's Fitness Challenge, specifically focusing on the recent activities and upcoming events. The meeting highlighted the success of the first fitness class held at Daisy Stocking Park, which featured line dancing led by instructor Lisa. Participants expressed enthusiasm for the event and the accompanying health fair, with discussions about potentially hosting similar wellness fairs in the future.

The meeting also addressed the distribution of a newsletter that included a healthy recipe for baked salsa chicken. Attendees were encouraged to try the recipe and share their feedback. For those who had not received the newsletter, city officials offered assistance to ensure everyone was included in future communications.

This week's fitness theme was "superhero," aimed at motivating participants to take bold steps toward their health goals. Attendees were encouraged to dress in superhero-themed attire, and those who participated received extra raffle tickets as incentives. The meeting concluded with a call to action for the next workout session, which would feature strength training led by Clinton, a returning instructor from the previous year.

Overall, the meeting emphasized community engagement in health and fitness initiatives, fostering a supportive environment for residents to improve their well-being. The city plans to continue these activities, encouraging more residents to join in the upcoming events.
