Zero holiday weight gain challenge sign-up underway
Are you interested in maintaining your weight or even losing a few pounds during this holiday season? Could you use some encouragement and guidance but don’t have time to attend classes? Give our Zero Holiday Weight Gain holiday wellness challenge a try.
“Zero Holiday Weight Gain Challenge” is an on-line challenge designed to help participants get fit by encouraging regular exercise, nutrition, and wellness tips during the upcoming holiday season. Participants will receive weekly e-communications and have access to supplemental information available on Blogs and Facebook. All participant information is kept confidential.
Anyone who documents a nutrition, health and fitness lifestyle change from Nov. 25 to Jan. 5 will be entered to win a prize drawing on Jan. 20. There will be weekly drawings for cookbooks, fitness products, and other prizes to encourage wellness - all participants are eligible to win.
Each week participants will receive free weekly e-communications, containing nutrition, health and fitness tips. Additional food and activity logs will be available for download to help participants track their progress. Pre- and post- online-survey assessments are used to collect comments to improve future challenges and track participant progress.
Sign up by following this link to enroll http://go.osu.edu/ZWGHardin. You will be enrolled and begin receiving e-communications starting the week of Nov. 25. While Facebook™ will be utilized; participants only need to have an email address. The program is funded by Ohio State University Extension.
