For many people, February is the month when they begin to get slack with their diet and exercise regime, and the promise of “new year, new me!” is long forgotten. Why not make a change this Valentine’s Day
This year,Valentine’s Day on Tuesday February 14 falls during “Australia’s Healthy Weight Week”, a nationwide initiative to inspire Australians to achieve a healthier weight and lifestyle.
This is a great time to renew those healthy life new year promises you made and get that body back in shape. Your Valentine will love you for it.
Ipswich Hospital Foundation (IHF) Fit4Life Coordinator Ashton Greaves said she hopes Ipswich residents will help break the Fit4Life Activities weekly attendance record of 500 during Healthy Weight Week.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, half of Australian adults are unhappy with their current weight.
“Exercise is an essential part of your tool box when tackling a healthy weight and Fit4Life sessions have been instrumental in helping many participants achieve this,” Ms Greaves said. “Our low-cost, no contract, professionally run sessions are the perfect way to help achieve your healthy weight so why wait – join our friendly groups!”
