The Challenge-RGV is more than a weight-loss competition; it's an opportunity for participants to start living a healthier & more active lifestyle! The Challenge-RGV partners with local gyms, fitness experts, nutritionists, and local organizations to help participants eat well, lose weight and make permanent healthy changes.
The Challenge event provides social support such as text messaging and phone calls with motivational interviewing, free resources such as exercise classes, and monetary incentives for participants to work towards their weight loss goals. It is also a key method of providing education to our participants and communities at large. The Challenge focuses on promoting physical activity and healthy eating to achieve a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI).
This event is open to those who registered to participate in January. The finale event will take place on Saturday, April 22nd at Linear Park in Brownsville!
We are in need of assistance with blood pressure checks and BMI readings for The Challenge-RGV Finale event on Saturday, April 22nd. All volunteers are required to arrive at 7:00am to assist with set up and to be at their assigned station by the event starting time (9:00am).
