New keep fit campaign great success
The six week “Move It to Lose It” Christmas Challenge began at the Sutherland Leisure Complex in Golspie last night.
And Kyle Mackay, Leisure Supervisor at Golspie, says he is delighted with the turn out – 42 people took part.
The campaign encourages the community to get active in the run-up to the festive season, and is also being promoted at other High Life Highland leisure centres.
The message is simple: Why wait until January to make that New Year Resolution? Start to get in shape for the festive season now – you’ll get a head start on a healthier lifestyle in time for Christmas – and step into the New Year as the New You!
Move It to Lose It gives participants the motivation, backed up by professional advice and support, to improve health and lose weight in a fun environment.
As well as the obvious physical benefits, exercise significantly boosts mood and confidence, health and wellbeing – and helps to beat the winter blues.
At the first session, the Leisure Team welcomed recruits to the programme. Everyone is assessed for fitness, weight and body fat and targets are set. The programme includes a daily Body Blast – 10 minutes of focused fat burning and toning exercises – time to attack that tummy, and tone up arms and legs! Every week, there’s a special Move It to Lose It Last Chance Workout Class before the weekly weigh in.
Move It to Lose It is free to current all-inclusive High Life members. Individual membership is available at a promotional price of £20 for the six weeks of the challenge or £30 for a family membership.
The Challenge rewards the weight loss winner of the week at each leisure centre with a £20 gift voucher. At the end of the challenge, the overall winners from each centre are entered into a prize draw to win an all-inclusive High Life membership for a year.
The most exciting incentive is the team challenge. The leisure centre with the overall winning per centage weight loss will be awarded £1000 to purchase fitness equipment or enhance the existing programme – a lasting means for the community to continue the healthy lifestyle they have achieved.
