Are you overweight?
Have you tried to lose weight by following various diet
programmes?
Do you always end up back to square one?
Would you like to break the cycle of yo-yo dieting and weight gain
and keep it off FOR GOOD?
If you have answered ‘yes’ to all of the above, then you may
like to consider MOMENTA - a brand new weight management/lifestyle
change programme.
Momenta has been designed to encourage overweight adults to
achieve weight loss that will be sustained in the longer
term.
Interested? Then read on for more information and details on how
you can take part.
What is Momenta?
Momenta is a 13 week weight management/lifestyle change
programme for adults who are overweight. It has been developed
using successful elements from a similar scheme for children called
MEND (Mind Exercise, Nutrition, Do it!)
What’s different about Momenta?
There are many diet programmes available for people who
wish to achieve a healthy weight, but many of these programmes
concentrate solely on diet. As a result, many participants end up
with only a short term weight loss. Momenta, on the other hand,
encourages participants to focus on 3 factors involved in weight
management: nutrition, physical activity and mind. Momenta
participants are therefore much more likely to sustain their weight
loss in the longer term.
Who will run the Momenta Programme?
Fully qualified BVAL fitness instructors will lead the
Momenta sessions. All of the instructors have received Momenta
training, and many of them have been involved with the MEND
Programme for children and the extremely successful GP Referral
Scheme.
What will the
Momenta sessions be like?
Each week focuses on a completely different topic. Examples
of topics include, ‘Looking at food labels,’ ‘breakfast benefits,’
and ‘exploring cardiovascular exercise.’ Interactive, informal
discussions will take place around the topics. You will not
actually DO any exercise in any of the sessions, but we are certain
you will enjoy each session, feel fully informed and motivated to
put everything you learn into practice! And don’t forget, as well
as the instructors, you will also have the support and
encouragement from all your fellow participants in the Momenta
Programme.
Where will the Momenta sessions take place?
The Momenta programme will be running at Ashington Leisure
Centre, and Concordia Leisure Centre.
