Week One: Get Fit League Table!

MKM employees and customers have begun the first week of the MKM Heart Challenge!

After the indulgences at Christmas, MKM employees and customers have begun the first week of the MKM Heart Challenge and taken their first steps towards a fit and healthy 2010. Long gone are the fat-filled fried breakfasts and burgers, and in come eight weeks of healthy eating and exercise.

After the first weigh-in, Kings Lynn is steaming ahead as the healthiest MKM branch team. With healthy blood pressure levels, tip-top BMI and waist to hip ratios and team members who are non-smokers, this lot are starting the challenge in (fairly) good shape, with an impressive branch heart health score of 16.14.

Conversely, the branch team with the lowest score so far is ‘Beachy’s Belly Busters’ in Sheffield scoring 7.2, followed closely behind by Lincoln and Selby. With eight weeks of exercise and healthy eating to go, we fully expect to see the ‘belly busters’ tighten their waists; improve their fitness, and lose weight, so good on them for taking on the challenge and taking the first steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

If you want to improve your health, quit smoking or increase your fitness levels, whilst raising money for the British Heart Foundation, then head on down to your local MKM branch to take part in the challenge or, sponsor other team members to achieve their health goals.

Don’t forget you can email us your pictures to become featured in this column over the weeks to come.
