 If the thought of going to a gym or group exercise class appalls you, then Punk Fitness is for you! It is all about doing the fitness thing, DETROIT STYLE! Punk Fitness will be joining the Comerica TasteFest this year with demonstrations on the New Center Park Stage. Punk Fitness is a REAL workout taught in an interval training format, alternating between muscle sculpting and cardio...sorry folks, no dancey health club choreography here, instead for cardio it is skank, pogo, jump rope or hula hoop. Most of the soundtrack is
provided by local Detroit bands (some of which will be featured at the
Comerica TasteFest) including great indie, alternative & classic punk.
