DALLAS, Jan. 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Whether they have simply succumbed to the annual holiday calorie-fest or have endured a lifelong struggle with weight and healthful living issues, the new year offers those who have neglected their health a fresh start. The hard truth is that 95% of people who lose weight will gain it back again--but it doesn't have to be that way.
First Place 4 Health is a reliable, proven method of weight loss and healthy living that enables members to enjoy lasting change by bringing the four areas of life--physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual--into a healthy balance. Formerly known as First Place, this program, which began in 1981 as a church ministry in Houston, TX, has attracted more than half a million members pursuing a healthy lifestyle and a closer walk with the Lord. This revolutionary program uses everyday foods, includes a support and accountability component, and focuses on biblical health and disease prevention.
First Place 4 Health is not a quick fix. It isn't about simply dropping a dress size. Instead, Carol Lewis, First Place 4 Health's national director, issues this challenge, "Give God and First Place 4 Health a year...and your life will change forever."
For 2009, First Place 4 Health is introducing a brand new fitness kit. The contents of the kit include the First Place 4 Health 30-Minute Fitness DVD, which combines cardio, strength, and stretching exercises for all fitness levels from beginner to advanced and a handy pedometer that will keep track of each step a member takes toward his or her fitness goal. The environmentally friendly reusable eight-ounce water bottle makes proper hydration a snap. The kit also contains a flexible exercise band that will maximize resistance for every movement in a workout and an official First Place 4 Health towel to use when the work is done.
The dawn of a new year is the perfect time to begin a First Place 4 Health bible study, drawing in the many people who will already be feeling fresh motivation about weight loss and healthy choices. The First Place 4 Health: Begin with Christ Bible study series is the program's cornerstone, and this update features completely rewritten studies that are fresh for today's readers.
