Inspired by the popular TV show, The Biggest Loser, we held our first Be a Loser challenge with fantastic results!  All of the eighteen participants lost weight with an average weight loss of 10 pounds per person!  The Be a Loser challenge consisted of three meetings with a trainer each week...the workout of the week, the last chance workout and then the weigh-in and team versus team challenge.  The Red Team dominated the weigh-ins in the beginning, while the Black Team dominated the challenges.  The Black team made a major comeback and wound up winning the competition with an overall weight loss of 4.9% while the Red Team finished with a 4.7% for overall weight loss. 

The second cycle of our Be a Loser challenge will begin on Monday, April 4th with more people dropping unwanted pounds just in time for the summer!  If you would like more information about losing weight in a healthy and motivating environment, give us a call and join the challenge!

Workouts and sex are bad for your health?  Yes and no.  In the hours after exercising, a new study found that the risk of a heart attack increased about 3.5 times, while the risk increased about 2.7 times within two hours of having sex. Physical activity also quintupled the risk of sudden death due to cardiac arrest.
