Hebrews 12:11 – No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Good evening San Antonio!

I haven’t really done a business update in forever but I thought it was time to do so with so many things going on!

KSAT 12 has started a fitness challenge by partnering up with the Anytime Fitness’ in the area and 2 trainers at each location, one of those locations includes me as a trainer.  We have picked out contestants are the start date is today!!!

Here is a press release to give you a bit more background on what is going to happen within the next 90 days!

(San Antonio, TX)—KSAT12 will kick off the Fit for Life Challenge sponsored by Anytime Fitness on April 12^th, 2010.  26 contestants, selected from entries submitted to KSAT.com will be teamed with participating Anytime Fitness Centers to be trained and compete in designated categories for a 90 day period.

The winner will be featured as the Fit for Life spokesperson and will receive a prize package from participating sponsors.

Viewers can follow each of the team’s progress over the 90 days at KSAT.com. The page will include content from sponsors, profile/bios of trainers and contestants, pictures, coupons, interactive tools, and video clips featuring helpful tips for developing their own healthy lifestyle.  Visitors will also be able to track the contestants’ progress and follow them through their journey.

Obesity, Depression, Diabetes, and Coronary Disease among others, top the list of diseases and ailments that are directly related to an unhealthy lifestyle.  From physical fitness, healthy eating and nutrition to counseling and support services through medical and spiritual means, with your help, we can show San Antonians that we have all the resources and support right here in our very own community.

Our goal is to take a group of average everyday San Antonians and help them improve their health and their lives.  Through this experience we hope to teach San Antonio that healthy living isn’t just a personal commitment.  It is a way of life we share with our families, our neighbors, and our community.
