‘A Healthier Weigh’ program begins Jan. 5 in Phillips County

Need a jump start to get your 2023 headed in a healthier direction?  If so, the “A Healthier Weigh” program, sponsored by Colorado State University Golden Plains Area Extension, may be what you are looking for. This program has been revamped from past years allowing for an environment with online educational lessons, step competition, online discussion group, wellness challenges, face-to-face learning sessions and an activity competition across multiple counties. The focus of this health and fitness program is to increase activity, make wiser food choices and live a healthier lifestyle.

The program kicks off during the first week in January across six different counties in northeastern Colorado by conducting weigh-ins. During weigh-ins, participants will receive their materials and pedometers to record steps which are reported on a weekly basis. Participants will also use the InBody Machine, which is a sophisticated machine that provides feedback on your weight and breaks down your body analysis — body fat, water, lean muscle mass, basal metabolic rate and segmental strength.
