Free Workout in the Park with Billy Blanks

Tae Bo trainer Billy Blanks will hold a free workout on Saturday in Palm Springs as part of the city's partnership with the Clinton Foundation, a city spokeswoman said.

The workout will start at 9 a.m. in the Ruth Hardy Wellness Park, 700 Tamarisk Road. The workout is part of Mayor Steve Pougnet's series of "Healthy Planet, Healthy You" events, which end with a run and health festival on April 20, city spokeswoman Amy Blaisdell said.

Last week, the city announced a partnership with the Clinton Foundation, the Desert Healthcare Foundation and Desert Regional Medical Center to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for health and wellness programs. Next year, the race will move to the weekend before to the Humana Challenge golf tournament in January and is expected to become the primary fundraiser for the Clinton Health Matters Initiative's work in the Coachella Valley, Blaisdell said.

"I want to thank the Clinton Foundation for bringing Billy Blanks to Palm Springs, and I encourage everyone to come down to Ruth Hardy Wellness Park this Saturday and get an incredible workout," Pougnet said.
