With spring approaching and the change in time with daylight savings this weekend, we look forward to longer days with more sun, warmer temperatures, snow melting, green grass, and birds chirping. Spring is a time for new life with baby birds, calves, and lambs….it can also be a time for a new you! Our spring session of STRIVE 2 Survive starts a week from today, March 12th at 5:30pm at the County Fair Banquet Hall.
STRIVE 2 Survive is our 12 week wellness program where we meet 6 out of the 12 weeks (see calendar tab for full list of dates). The meetings are always Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30pm at the County Fair Banquet Hall. The weeks we don’t meet you get a take home lesson mailed or emailed to them, so every week you will get lessons on diet and activity. We also incorporate lab work (full lipid and glucose) and body composition testing (weight, BMI, fat%, fat mass, muscle mass, waist circumference, and BP) at the beginning and end of the program. We recommend weighing weekly for those who are working on weight loss, but it is not required as we are more of a wellness program focused on promoting lifelong habits, not a biggest loser type of program that is mainly focused on losing the weight fast. The cost of our 12 week program is $130 which includes all of the lessons, lab work, body composition testing, and a t-shirt. We have seen great results in improvement of lipids, glucose, BP, and weight (see the feedback and results tab for more info!). This will be our last session before we take a break during summer.
If you packed on some extra pounds during winter, need to re-boot your New Year’s resolution, or just want to get in shape for summer, let us help you! If you are interested or want to learn more, please contact us at 884-4226 or strive2survive@brownclinic.org.
