Top participants in the Your Energized Year have prize incentives to help motivate them to keep up their efforts to make their health a priority.
Prizes are awarded quarterly to the top five participants.
More than 500 people registered to take part in Your Energized Year classes and the National Diabetes Prevention Program-designed to get people to drink more water, make healthy food choices and get in at least 150 minutes of activity each week. And nearly 300 of those paid $10 to be part of the Your Energized Year challenge, which includes prizes.
At the end of the 16 weeks of classes, prizes will be awarded to the top 10 participants. Those most successful at achieving weight-loss percentages will be awarded at the end of each quarter.
• For the first quarter, ending in March, the top five participants won a shaker water bottle plus $10 in cash.
