GO-LEAN BODY CHALLENGE PROGRAM OVERVIEW

PRESENTED BY:  LIVING WELL SMOOTHIES

Everyone wants a lean body.  Lean bodies help us to look, feel and be our best!  So why not hold a friendly competition aimed at helping your employees achieve the best body they can?  Our GO-LEAN BODY CHALLENGE has been developed to do just that.  We all know that healthy employees are more productive.  With this program you can provide your staff a fun way to get in shape, while keeping your utilization down and help you grow your bottom line.  The program is developed to help your staff maximize the health benefits of eating more fruit.  Our approach is to encourage people to consume a Living Well Smoothie packed with delicious nutrients every day which can help them reach their health goals.  We even help them establish their health goals.  You can implement this program at any time of the year. 

Please take a look at the program details below:

Overview:

This is a ten (10) week program where participants compete to see who can build the leanest body.  This is to be achieved through exercise and nutrition.  All participants will have their weight recorded bi- weekly and their body fat percentage recorded at the beginning, midpoint and end of the competition.  The winner will be the participant with the greatest increase of muscle to fat ratio.  There are some requirements and qualifications.  For example, participants must drink at least five Living Well Smoothies each week for the duration of the competition in order to win and qualify for prizes.

Process:

1. Establish a time frame for holding the competition (must be 10 weeks).
2. Determine prizes that will be awarded to top 3 finishers.
3. Determine time, place and method for holding bi-weekly weigh-ins and body fat analysis.
4. Display signage promoting the competition and begin to ‘spread the message’ about 2-3 weeks prior to registration.
   1. Display the posters provided
   2. Use e-mail system to announce the competition for several weeks prior to launch
   3. Make sure your managers and directors make announcements at the beginning and end of every meeting reminding staff when and where the registration will take place.
   4. Host a Living Well Smoothie tasting day to help the participants choose a flavor to begin the program with.  They can change package flavors anytime during the competition.  This helps stave off the humdrum of having to consume the same flavor over and over.
5. If you like, hold a pre-registration and an official registration.  Try to make this as fun and energizing as possible.  You want to draw attention to the competition.  At the registration we will:
   1. Record each participant’s weight and body fat percentage in a private room.
   2. Distribute all program information including Rules and Regulations, Sign-Up & Waiver, Accounting System, Initial Handout, Total Fitness Handout, Calorie Requirement Charts, Shopping Lists and any other promotional materials
   3. Be sure to have each participant sign a waiver.
   4. Establish and communicate the proper procedures for weigh-ins and body fat percentage analysis.
6. Conduct weigh-ins bi-weekly and body fat percentage analysis at the designated times.  Update results and progress for all participants on a bi-weekly basis. 
7. Each time a member weighs in they should be given that week’s Editorial and Inspirational Story.
8. Conclude the competition by identifying to top 3 persons who reduced body fat and gained muscle.
9. Announce the winners and award prizes to the top 3 finishers.
10. Get participant testimonials – especially from the top winner.  Use these to promote the competition next time.

Cost:

The GO-LEAN BODY CHALLENGE package is provided at minimal or no cost to your company by Living Well Smoothies in order to promote good eating habits in the participants.  Of course it is our desire to encourage consumption of our products.  We believe that after 2 to 3 weeks or consuming one smoothie a day, the participants will see and feel a positive change in their overall well being.

Sustainability:

One of the biggest challenges facing individuals today is the sustainability of life-style changes.  Therefore, we recommend that the organization make a year’s commitment to encourage and promote good health practices. It is further recommended that the company promote 2 to 3 Go-Lean Body Challenges through the year to keep the wellness mindset going and growing. Working with Living Well Smoothies, you can provide several programs at little or no cost to the company.

We are creatures of habit and many of us fall right back into the same “comfortable” patterns that led us down the road to poor health practices.  By keeping the light of wellness glowing throughout the year, your company is showing a commitment to your employees common good.

This doesn’t mean no donuts, pop or candy, it just recommends offering the healthy options as well.

Thank you for your kind consideration.  We are excited about working with your organization!

Live Well,
