Live Healthy Challenge at First Presbyterian    

What is the Live Healthy Challenge?
Live Healthy Iowa has a track record of helping more than 169,000 people to get fit and shed 698,410 pounds over the past 10 years.*  The program encourages Iowans to form teams of up to 10 people who will work to lose weight and get fit by exercising for 100 days a year.  This year, the Health Ministry Team is organizing teams from First Presbyterian, starting on January 20 (you can still sign up after the program starts).  Registration is $20 a person, and HyVee is offering a $5 coupon that would reduce the fee to $15.  Participants get a training T-shirt, weekly motivational tips, an online personal tracking page with a daily journal and unlimited access to recipes, workouts, and health information.  You can find more information at www.livehealthyiowa.org.

How do I sign up?           
Each team will have a captain, who will collect the registration fees and register the team.  If you would like to be a team captain or member, you can sign up on Sundays or contact Mary Jo Keith, Parish Nurse  or Rhonda Barr, Health Ministry chair.  Scholarships are available through the Health Ministry Team.

Let’s get out and support each other in meeting our health and fitness goals.  Be well!
