LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. --
Service members, civilians, dependents and retirees interested
in the Wingman Weight Loss Challenge are encouraged to sign up Jan. 17 — 27,
2017, at the Little Rock Air Force Base Fitness Center.
The challenge is a friendly competition which introduces healthy
eating and exercise habits.
“Teams will consist of two people helping each other stay
motivated and accountable for their work outs,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt.
Kimberly Jones, 19th Force Support Squadron fitness program manager.
The competition runs Feb. 1, through March 29, 2017.
A point system is used as teams have free range to work out
on their own for 10 points, attend various aerobic classes offered by the
fitness center for 20 points and participate in “FUN” Fridays for 30 points.
Each team will track their points through a Wingman Workout
Tracker sheet provided by the fitness center. Integrity and accountability are
vital to tracking the points earned.
Participants will have an initial, midway and final weigh-in
through a secure and confidential tracker.
The winners will be announced at a health fair on March 31,
2017. Prizes ranging from T-shirts to electronics will be given out to the top
male and female performers, the team with the most participation points and the
team with the most cumulative weight loss.
“We want to focus on building good habits for the new year because
once you develop those habits, they stick with you,” said U.S. Air Force Senior
Airman Jeremy Crider, 19th Force Support Squadron front desk supervisor.
