Tecumseh Parks & Recreation and Tecumseh Center for the Arts Team up for
3rd Annual Tecumseh Community Weight Loss Challenge
Kick-Off the Weight Event
Special guests Marcie & Courtney Crozier
Make plans now to start 2012 off on the right track and join Mayor Dick Johnson and his wife, Susan Whitney Johnson by signing up for Tecumseh’s Community Weight Loss Challenge! This Michigan award winning program begins on January 30 and runs through April 23, 2012. Interested participants can register for the program at the Parks and Recreation Department for the price of $20, beginning December 12, 2012.
The Weight Loss Challenge is a twelve week program designed to provide support and encouragement for people looking for ways to implement healthy habits into their lives. The Parks and Recreation Department provides weekly weigh-ins, plenty of helpful tips, encouragement and moral support. Once you sign up and pledge to take the challenge, our community partners are ready to help you reach your fitness goals. The Fitness Connection, Carter Rehabilitation, Curves, Jazzercise, Master Sandoval’s ATA Martial Arts, the Tecumseh Community Pool, and Zumba instructor, Rhea, are all offering fantastic deals on 12 week fitness programs.
In addition, each week of the challenge on Sunday afternoon in the Community Center Main Room, our Weight Loss Challenge participants can take advantage of their very own Last Chance Workout. This is the perfect opportunity to re-energize your fitness commitment and burn off a few extra calories before the weekly Monday weigh-in. Several area businesses have also pledged to offer specials to our Weight Loss Challenge participants. We cap off the Weight Loss Challenge with an awards ceremony at the Community Center on Friday, April 29. Thanks to our community partners, we have great prizes to award our top performers in the challenge.
The Tecumseh Center for the Arts is joining forces with the Parks and Recreation Department and would like to invite everyone to Kick Off the Weight. On Sunday, January 29, Marci and Courtney Crozier, contestants from season 11 of television’s The Biggest Loser will appear at the Tecumseh Center for the Arts and motivate everyone in attendance with their inspirational stories! Marci and Courtney have recently taken their own personal weight loss journeys and will share what they learned along the way. Tickets for this exciting community event are $10 and just $5 for our Weight Loss Challenge participants. A light healthy lunch will be served, Marci and Courtney will spend some time speaking with people individually and everyone is encouraged to get moving with Jazzercise, Zumba and kickboxing demonstrations. Weight Loss Challenge participants can also take advantage of free “before” photographs courtesy of Touch of Love Photography. And, our community fitness partners will be in the lobby, along with representatives from the Parks and Recreation Department, ready to sign you up, weigh you in for the challenge, and help you select a twelve week fitness program that’s just right for you.
