Community Development Recreation (CD-REC), Diabetes Association, General Fitness, Healthy City Fall River, Partners for a Healthier Community, and the Fall River YMCA have joined together to challenge adults who live, work or attend school in Greater Fall River to get fit, healthy, prevent Type 2 diabetes and pledge to collectively lose more than a ton of weight (2000 lbs)! What’s the challenge all about? Fitness participants will gain access to programs and fitness centers throughout the city for little or no cost—programs that will help them learn to eat well, lose weight, get fit, prevent diabetes and other diseases and win some great prizes! Who can participate? The Fall River Fitness Challenge is open to all adults who live, work or attend school in Fall River. Join with a buddy, by yourself or form a team! How do I sign up? Join us at our Challenge kick-off on Saturday January 7, 2012 from 10AM- 1PM at the Kuss Middle School to sign up, weigh in, and learn more about the Challenge! There will also be a Health and Wellness Fair during the sign-up time. You can register for the Challenge for $2 and receive a wrist band that will give you discounts at program sites. You may also sign up at CD REC, 72 Bank Street or at the YMCA anytime until January 30th. Some worksites will also be holding team registrations. How can I win? Each time you or your team takes advantage of one of the challenge programs, show your fitness challenge wristband to get entrance into the program at a discounted rate! The more times you participate in any of the programs, the better chance you have of winning and staying healthy! How often do I weigh in? Weigh in twice a month at CD-REC or at a designated worksite location throughout the city and record your weight! Each time you weigh in you will be entered into a raffle to win a prize at the Finale. How is my weight tracked? Individuals can set goals and track any of six fitness indicators (Activity, Weight, Smoking, Diet, Blood Pressure and Blood Glucose) on the personal Check-In Activity Record sheet that can be downloaded from this site, or by logging on as a member of www.MyFallRiver.org and picking the Fitness Challenge group option which will make a tracking page available to you. Worksite team captains at designated worksites will also record and track team member weights on the website. Questions? Please call CD-REC at 508-679-0922 .
