Obesity levels all over the world are increasing at an alarming rate, and South Africa only this year was stated as the country with the fastest growing percentage of this silent killer. In fact, according to some grim statistics, our Rainbow Nation is slowly eating itself to death.
According to the drug and healthcare company, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), 61% of South Africans are overweight, obese or morbidly obese. In light of these facts, Lifestyle and Wellness expert, Lisa Raleigh is asking the country to take on the challenge of a lifetime with the well i am Challenge 2013.
The well I am challenge not only incentivises South Africans to achieve their desired weight goals but it is designed to assist them in viewing the challenge as a permanent lifestyle change. Running from the 15th of February through to the 31st of March, the well i am challenge supports all fitness journeys with a unique, reward-driven support system to get contestants closer to their targets.
An online library of resources will be made available to assist contestants to reach their goals. These include certified eating plans and training programmes from experts, video demonstrations, motivational snippets and daily tips.
Entry into the challenge secures participants a well i am goodie box containing a voucher for a free blender or Juicer, a detailed health screening at the start and finish of the challenge, a R500 voucher to redeem for a pair of trainers from a reputable sports brand, a custom-made Health Box valued at over R400 (visit www.healthboxSA.mobi for details) which contains a well i am starter kit – a unique pack of extras from well i am and their sponsors. In short, contestants are awarded over R3000’s worth of products for committing to the well i am challenge.
The well I am challenge is not only open to individuals, businesses are also encouraged to sign up employees for a corporate well i am challenge too, either as it stands or motivating them with additional in-house incentives. Through being more active, staff become more productive, healthier and the competitive nature of the challenge will boost office morale.
