Lea County "Get Fit Challenge"

The challenge created a buzz around the county for weeks as men, women, and children decided to get involved in an opportunity to improve their lives by getting healthy!

            The challenge consists of a weight loss option, a fitness option, or participants can choose to do both.  When they registered for the challenge, they received information about area gyms and fitness organizations, like Bodyright and Zumba with Shelli, that are offering discounts for the participants, making finding the right exercise regimen a little easier.  In addition, some of the fitness experts like the trainers at Crabby Jack's Gym & Fitness are making special offers on nutritional analyses and fitness consultations. 

            In order to help the group make good decisions about their eating habits and encouraging a healthy weight loss plan, the Lea Regional Dietary Department will be hosting weekly talks to the participants as well as having talk's given by physician's and fitness experts regarding various topics that will assist in creating healthier citizens, both during and after the 12 week challenge, which ends in November.

            Enrichment Technology US, Curves, Dairy Max, and Brown Shoe Fit Co. all sponsored the event.  Prizes and awards will be given at the end of the challenge.  Any area businesses that would like to contribute to or sponsor the prize packages, please contact Lindsay at 492-5102.
