AWARE Outdoor Challenge 2007
The Association of Women for Action and Research (AWARE) organized a charity outdoor run and games on the 17th March, which drew a record of 1000 women participants. The iDECIDE Program, by Abbott Laboratories was the Healthy Weight Sponsor, promoting healthy lifestyle and weight by offering free health screenings, personal counseling as well gym balls to early registrants.
10 iDECIDE staff and members participated in the challenge and underwent a 3-month training program with the help of a personal trainer and nurse counsellor. The target was to complete a 5km run, itself a task beyond everyone’s normal routine.
The team was paired in groups of 2, and twice a week they hit the gym for 2 hours under the supervision of their personal trainer. Throughout the 3 months, members received medical follow-up with their doctors while they slowly changed their lifestyle to include a healthier diet and exercise.
