First Health Partners' event

At Healthier Picks, we are making service to the community our biggest priority. The following are ways in which we hold ourselves accountable to the communities we live in:

 

Circle of women striving to make health a priority and fitness a habit through walking, biking, and other fun physical activities. Healthier Picks, in conjunction with the Health Partners, plan weekly events where all women are welcome to join. Be sure to visit our Health Partners blog to learn about what we've been up to. 

 

Please contact us at HealthierPicks@gmail.com for additional information on our Health Partners initiative.

 

Sample weekly challenge

Week 1: Eat fiber-rich food daily; 50 push-ups (alt version)

Week 2: Get rid of RED MEAT; 5 rounds of 15 seconds planks / core strengthening

Week 3: Curb your CARBS (no bread, no pasta, no rice); 50 oblique rotations

Week 4: Get at least 6 hours of sleep; 50 chair squats

Week 5: Exercise portion size control; 50 squat thrust / burpees

 

A community initiative with the aim of making commitment to health and fitness a family affair. Some of our previous activities include family fun day at ClimbZone USA, 5K family fun walk/run, and Family Field Day.
