If you’ve let your healthy habits slide during the summer holidays, do not fear, our Start Over September Challenge will give your motivation a much-needed boost!
Over five weeks (from 2 September to 6 October), you’ll be challenged to complete weekly physical activity and nutrition-based tasks which build up over time to support you to get back on track.
Weeks 2, 3 and 4 provide different options to choose from so you can tailor the challenge to your own weight loss goals.
How it works
To take part, simply collect an activity card and gold stars from a Drop-in during w/c 26 August or w/c 2 September. You can find a list of Drop-ins on our client activity programme in the resources section.
If you achieve the minimum number of stars (one for each task), you’ll receive a Livewell medal and if you complete all the activities, you’ll get a bonus prize. What’s not to love?!
It’s a great opportunity to reset and reignite your goal setting and you’re never too old for a gold star!
