CFA 12 week challenge - Get Moving to lose weight
COMPETITION: CFA’s 12 Week Get Moving Challenge
Get Moving is a state-wide competition for CFA volunteers and staff which challenges members to increase the number of steps they take in a day while shedding some kilos.
CFA members who sign up for the 12-week program (24 March – 17 June) receive a pedometer which they can wear during the day to keep count of their total steps. A drink bottle will also be provided to each registrant.
Due to current and recent fires, the competition will now be held one month later than originally advertised to allow everyone to participate. Members who have already registered will stay registered for the new dates.
About the Challenge
Participants are asked to report their average daily steps and their "before and after" waist measurement, and go into the running for one of 20 prizes including a treadmill, spin bike and $1000 sports equipment voucher. As well as prizes linked to results there are a number of generous random entry prizes.
Registrations
Registrations for the challenge close on March 18. Supplies of the bonus items are limited, so it's first in, best dressed. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.
