Lose lbs with the LBS Challenge
LIGHTER, BRIGHTER SUMMER CHALLENGE
The LBS Challenge kicks off on the 2nd August and will give
you 6 weeks to make the most of being active and enjoying some
summer fun.
The Challenge is to
burn additional calories through
exercise and activity and watch those lbs fall away. This
Challenge will drive home the importance of exercise, not only
to your weight loss goals but also to your health. Regular
moderate exercise substantially reduces the risk of major
diseases and it boosts your mood and self-esteem.
Members can post news of their progress and inspire others
with news of activities undertaken and calories burnt.
Get out and about… the world is your oyster.. And remember
all exercise gives you extra calories to enjoy food treats!
Here's some Ideas and Inspiration from WLR members
"It’s soooo worth it!
‘How slim and firm that woman is…’ It took a moment before I
realised it was me… The exercise and calorie counting is
definitely worth it. The calorie counting gets us slim and the
exercise calories firms us up."
