The Healthy Altoona Partnership is encouraging citizens to take advantage of a special opportunity to get healthier during the 10 week Wellness Challenge sponsored by Live Healthy Iowa.

Over the course of the ten weeks, teams of two or more people track physical activity and/or weight loss through the Live Healthy Iowa website.  Each team has a personal online dashboard to report and monitor progress – and access valuable resources.

Friendly competition between teams is encouraged.

Teams of individuals need to register by February 15 by visiting www.livehealthyiowa.org web and clicking on “Communities”.   Use Altoona’s group ID for registration — LHIALTOONAP.  There is a $20 registration fee.
