''When You Lose...You Win;'' Thirteen-Week Weight Loss Contest Challenges Friends and Families to Lose Weight Together
Posted on: Thursday, 26 January 2006, 09:00 CST
A new weight loss competition, "The Fat Blaster Fat Loss Challenge," beginning here on Jan. 30, will offer couples, friends and relatives in Broward and Dade Counties an opportunity to lose weight and have fun in the process. The contest will run for 13 weeks, with exercise sessions being held three times a week and lead by a certified fitness trainer. Two people must enter the contest as partners.
"This gives families and friends a way to offer each other motivation and support as they lose weight and have fun together while competing," says Shondelle Miles, host of the challenge and owner of The Fitness Playground. "The contest also is a great way for people to get in shape for the New Year and to honor their resolutions."
The contest will consist of nutritional and motivational workshops and full body circuit training workouts that consist of cardio-vascular and resistance training. The challenge is inspired by the reality TV show, The Biggest Loser and is formatted based on a similar program Miles developed in 2004 -- The Fat Blaster Weight Loss & Nutrition Camp for Women.
Contest winners will be determined by the amount of inches and body fat partners lose as a pair. Altogether, more than $1,500 in cash and prizes will be offered to winning partners. The grand prize for the top two partners is a three-day, two-night vacation at the Viva Wyndham Resort in the Grand Bahamas Island. Other prizes include fitness apparel, facials, dinner at a local restaurant and free personal training sessions. Cost for participating in the contest is $97 per person, per month.
Miles is a certified fitness professional and owner of the The Fitness Playground in Hollywood. She has received certification by several national accreditation councils, including the American College of Sports Medicine. Miles holds a master's degree in Sports Medicine from University of Miami. Her new book, The Ultimate Guide to Weight Loss Guide: 18 Strategies Guaranteed to Blast Away Stubborn Body Fat, offers her multifaceted approach to getting in shape and includes the mental and emotional components to weight loss.
