If you are looking for a fun way to engage your employees in a focused effort to improve health, consider Healthy Communities’ Bartholomew County on the Move program.  This is a three-month lifestyle challenge that has helped Bartholomew County lose over two tons in the last three years!  Teams of five compete for minutes of activity or for pounds lost.  Registration fees are just $5 per person, with participants receiving a packet of material to support them in making and keeping fitness resolutions for the New Year.  Confidential, monthly weigh-ins are conducted by registered dieticians, which allows participants to get individual assistance with their nutrition goals.  Fitness instructors are also available for consultation during the early part of the weigh-in day for anyone wanting to start or maintain an exercise program.

The program begins January 10th.  Register in advance through Parks and Recreation to save time during the initial weigh in, which will be held at Donner Center from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. January 10th.  Call Parks and Rec at (812) 376-2680 if you are paying by credit card.  A registration form can be accessed at http://www.crh.org/healthy_communities/main.html.

Any Bartholomew County business with at least five teams (25 people) interested in the program can arrange on-site weigh-ins to make the program more convenient for your staff.  For more information, call Healthy Communities at (812) 376-5452.
