CD-REC, Diabetes Association Inc.

What�s the challenge all about?

Fitness participants will gain access to programs and fitness centers throughout the city for little or no cost. Programs that will help them learn to eat well, lose weight, get fit prevent diabetes and other diseases and win some great prizes!

The Fall River Fitness Challenge is open to all adults who live or work in Fall River. Join with a buddy, by yourself or form a team!

How do I sign up?

Join us at our Challenge kick-off on Saturday January 9, 2010 from 10AM- 2PM at the CD-REC facility located at 72 Bank Street to sign up, weigh and learn more about the Challenge!

How can I win?

Each time you or your team takes advantage of one of the challenge programs, show your fitness challenge wristband to get entrance into the program at a discounted rate! The more times you participate in any of the programs, the better chance you have of winning and staying healthy!

How often do I weigh in?

Weigh in twice a month at CD-REC or at a designated location throughout the city and record your weight! Each time you weigh in you will be entered into a raffle to win a prize at the Finale.

How is my weight tracked?

Individuals can set goals and track any of six fitness indicators (Activity, Weight, Smoking, Diet, Blood Pressure and Blood Glucose) on the personal Check-In Activity Record sheet that can be downloaded from this site, or by logging on as a member of www.MyFallRiver.org and picking the Fitness Challenge group option which will make a tracking page available to you.
