Results
Ten employees and spouses from Michigan Department of Transportation set new records in the BAC Corporate Challenge. They recently completed a six-week fitness and nutrition overhaul losing an overall 146.2 lbs and 93 inches. They lost weight, but gained a new outlook on life!

Award winners:

• Biggest Loser was Eric Precord who lost 13 percent of his body weight. He dropped 28.4 lbs. He was also earned the “Inchworm” Award by shedding an astonishing 22 inches. Eric set a club record by also increasing his push-ups and sit-ups in one minute by more than 20. He and his wife cut out alcohol, soda and snacking. The improved their family’s meals. Eric attended cycling and TurboKick classes, attended all the Sunday group workouts and completed his fitness homework. We call that a model student!  Hats off to Eric.
• Paul Gersewski and Owen Werth took home big honors for being the first participants in BAC Corporate Challenge history to lose more than 30 lbs. They worked hard for those results, often pulling double workouts daily and cleaning house on their daily nutrition. They are inspiring!

Besser Elementary Kids Get FIT
TEAM BAC led a two-hour fitness in-service at Besser Elementary School. All kids (K-6) answered trivia questions, learned about healthy eating and activity, and then punched, kicked and jumped to music. Special thanks to Cheryl Werblow and Cheryl Lemke for organizing the event. BAC trainers Trina Gray, Tracie Werblow, Casey Stutzman, Kelly  Bowlin and Amy Schultz loved working with the students. What energy in that gym!
