Losing weight can be one of the most daunting tasks people face in a lifetime. Lasting weight loss involves educating yourself in everything from nutrition to physical fitness, having the discipline to stick with a change in lifestyle for you as well as your family, and possessing the motivation to begin a program in the first place. Sometimes this can be too daunting to tackle alone so we invite you to join “Lighten Up Corona”, a ten-week weight loss program that combines education, activity, accountability, and camaraderie!
“Lighten Up Corona” was initiated by the City last year as part of its Healthy Community initiative. 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.
The next session of “Lighten Up Corona” will span ten-weeks and feature information on proper nutrition and meal planning, involve physical activity, provide access to local health and fitness professionals for coaching and tips, as well as keep participants accountable through weekly weigh-ins. For a cost of $40 for the ten-weeks (only $4 per class), “Lighten Up” participants are provided the tools to change their lives and take those first steps toward a healthier lifestyle in a supportive environment surrounded by others pursuing the same goal.
At the end of the ten week program those participants whose progress exceeded that of the others are rewarded with several valuable prizes donated by generous sponsors in the community! Although winners are rewarded exceptionally for their outstanding progress, all the participants win by what they learn, what they achieve and the relationships they build through this amazing and enlightening journey to better health with the support of their community.
To sign-up for “Lighten Up Corona’, please visit the Parks and Community Services registration page at: http://www1.discovercorona.com/registrationmain.sdi and register for activity 3717.401. Registration ends on Saturday, September 24th and is limited to the first 100 people to sign-up. The September 24th meeting of the group will be held at the Health and Wellness Expo held in conjunction with the “Our Local Fight” breast cancer walk located at the Shops at Dos Lagos from 6:30-10:30AM.
It’s time to Lighten Up Corona!
