Everyone starts the year out with new fitness and nutrition goals, but by the middle of the year we lose sight of those goals.  Do you still want to exercise and eat better?  Well here is your opportunity to continue working towards the goal of eating better and exercising.  To help you continue to work towards your lifestyle changes, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is launching Walk and Talk, an 8-week program that encourages exercise and healthy eating.

The program consists of weekly nutrition tips on how to eat more fruits and vegetables to help participants move toward a healthier weight and includes a weekly weight check-in, weekly challenge to “stay the course,” healthy recipes and tips, exercise resources, and a weight-loss planner. Weekly door prizes and incentives will be given to class participants.

The series will kick off at 6:00 p.m.  June 12, 2017 at the Extension office at 266 Nacogdoches Street in Center Texas with a nutrition tip followed by a walking fitness component.  We will meet weekly at various places to walk.  Walk and Talk is a great FREE program to do with a friend or family member. It’s always easier to reach your goals when you have additional support.  All course materials will be provided by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Shelby County office.  

 

Pre-registration is available from June 5 thru June 8, 2017 from 8:00 a.m. – 12 noon at the new Extension office at 266 Nacogdoches Street in Center, Texas.  For more information, visit or contact our office at (936) 598-7744.
