SALISBURY, N.C. – Novant Health is partnering with the YMCA of Rowan County to offer a free five-week comprehensive nutrition and weight loss program in 2017. Licensed professionals including registered dietitians, a health coach and a fitness trainer will lead the collaborative effort.
The class begins Monday, Jan. 2, and continues for five weeks. The weekly meeting will promote effective weight management through proper diet, exercise and general awareness for good health. Participants will receive screenings at the beginning and end of the program to track blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference and percentage of body fat to help assess progress.
Class topics will cover metabolism, daily food and fitness choices, and mindfulness. Participants will create personal fitness plans using technology that helps them stay fit. They also will receive a notebook for logging food and activity, a pedometer, weekly recipes and a YMCA pass.
The class is open to anyone, and space is limited to 15. Interested participants can call the South Rowan YMCA at 704-857-7011 to register.
