Maintain Don't Gain

Body Fat Screening

Earn additional LIVE FOR LIFE dollars!

Come to the LIVE FOR LIFE office by December 1st and receive 10 extra LIVE FOR LIFE dollars for measuring your body fat percentage with one of our fitness staff members. Screenings may be done during one of our scheduled drop-in times, or done as a part of a fitness consultation. Screening times, dates and locations will be announced in the weekly email newsletter.

Most Americans gain weight during the holiday season. Looking for a way to keep your holiday weight gain down and your energy up? Register for Maintain Don't Gain. This six-week, self-directed program will help you maintain your weight-or even shed pounds-during the holidays when it's more challenging to eat healthy foods and fit in exercise.

This may not sound like much, but extra weight accumulates through the years and can be a major contributor to obesity later in life. Maintain Don't Gain offers weekly e-mails with tips for adopting or maintaining healthy behaviors. The e-mails also contain healthy recipes, stress management tools, physical activity suggestions and encouraging messages.

The program will run from Nov. 5, 2018 to Dec. 16, 2018.
