GREATLIFE | WELLNESS THE TEAM FITNESS CHALLENGE

PHOTOS BY KRISTY REIMER

This year we learned that we need each other more than ever so what better way to run our challenge this fall than with a teammate. We have three teams each bringing their own compelling reasons to participate and cheer each other on. In this issue we introduce you to our challengers and get an assessment of their starting status as we get ready to cheer them on for the next 12 weeks. The challenge begins Sept. 6; follow us online as we check in on their progress, and watch for the final results in our spring issue.

Our partners, Orangetheory Fitness, The Yoga Junction and Simply For Life will be working with each team closely providing them with expert guidance, support and encouragement. Each participant on the winning team will receive a three-month nutrition program at Simply For Life and a $150 gift card for the Natural Market. Winners will also receive a free one-month membership to both Orangetheory Fitness and The Yoga Junction plus swag valued at $200.

TEAM 1: HUSBAND AND WIFE Patricia Browning “I am super pumped about participating in this challenge. This will be the kick in the behind that I so desperately need. I hope to not only achieve better health but a better understanding of how I can fuel my body in a way that will make my weight manageable instead of a constant yoyo battle.”

Ryan Browning “I am excited to do this challenge with my wife, Patricia. We’re both extremely competitive people so we are also in a challenge with each other, too. I’m hoping to achieve the means to gain a better lifestyle and hopefully a beach bod so I can take my wife to Mexico to celebrate and show it off.” PATRICIA STARTING STATS Weight 261.4 lbs Chest 45” Upper Ab 40” Belly Button 44.5” Hips 54”
