LUC: Jan. 7-Mar. 3, 2012
The new year is here, and if getting fit is on your list of resolutions for 2012, then you’ll definitely want to join Corona’s own Biggest Loser-inspired weight loss contest! Led by Coach Sol Shapiro with Yoga Guru Leeza Villagomez, each class will begin with discreet weigh-ins, then proceed to classroom-style discussions about nutrition, along with exercise demonstrations. Lighten Up Corona is designed to arm participants with the tools, motivation and accountability needed to drop weight, whether it is “those last 10 pounds” or getting started on a bigger journey. Participants are sure to learn something new about weight loss and taking fitness to a whole new level. Come with a positive attitude and comfortably dressed to do a light workout.
Sponsors will offer FREE services to help you reach your weight reduction and fitness goals. In addition to the workout routines demonstrated and the lifestyle tips and coaching given, everything from free coupons to healthy eateries, personal training sessions, yoga and other fitness classes, passes to the UFC Gym, samples of various weight-loss supplements, massages and chiropractic evaluations have been given away. Participants will learn life skills focused on attaining and maintaining a healthy body weight and activity level. Multiple winners will receive prizes worth over $400 each, based on percentage of reduction in pounds and/or inches. Optional Body Fat Test contest will be made available for an additional cost, with cash prizes for those winners.

Lighten Up Corona Program
Lighten Up Corona is a project of the Healthy Community Committee. Created by the City Council on September 1, 2010, the goals of the Healthy Community Committee are to improve the overall health of the City of Corona residents, promote a healthy lifestyle amongst the community, and provide Corona residents with the knowledge and skills needed to improve attitudes and behaviors concerning health. The Committee invites you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn real world examples to get fit without having to completely change your lifestyle routine.
After two extremely successful rounds of the program, the City has relinquished the program to several local health and fitness professionals who are taking the program to the next level.
