Spring Weight Loss Challenge
Spring means change and change is good! UMMA’s Black Vision of Wellness (BVOW) program launched its 3rd Annual BVOW Weight Loss Challenge.
This 13-week challenge is designed to encourage BVOW participants, living with chronic conditions such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, to make healthy lifestyle changes and help them make progress towards their weight loss goals
“Through this weight loss competition, clients are challenging themselves and creating healthy lifestyle changes. It feels good knowing that the BVOW program can support them on their journey” – Jocelyn Bush-Spurlin, BVOW Manager
BVOW Participants exercise during a fitness class with UMMA.
In addition to receiving support from UMMA providers, participants have access to all BVOW program services, including gym memberships, cooking classes, fitness classes, and a special support group to help them stay motivated throughout the competition.
At the end of the competition, three winners will be selected based on the total percentage of body fat loss and will receive a prize.
