FHN's popular wellness program is back to help participants work toward their 2023 fitness goals. Get Fit 2023 is heavy on tips, videos, and recipes to help participants build a healthy lifestyle for years to come! Get Fit 2023 is a FREE 12-week, all-online program again this year. It's not yet safe to gather people together for pre-event screenings as has been done in past years, so the team competition has been put aside for this year and the focus is on helping participants work toward their personal best. Get Fit 2023 runs from Monday, Jan. 9 through Sunday, April 2, and people can join at any time during the program. Registration opens Monday, Dec. 26. Participants will still be able to keep track of exercising, eating fruits and veggies, and getting enough water via recommended online wellness trackers, and FHN's special Get Fit 2023 site will include videos with exercise and healthy diet tips, healthy cooking and shopping tips, recipes, and more. Participants can take advantage of special offers from local fitness partners and participate in fun contests, and of course, win great prizes!
