Dr. Ian and 50 Million Pound Challenge Gets Collective
At the One Year Anniversary, participants have lost a combined 2 million pounds already
On Monday, April 7th, Dr. Ian Smith and his 50 Million Pound Challenge will celebrate the 1 year anniversary of this groundbreaking national health initiative. Throughout the year, the Celebrity Fit Club trainer has been traveling the country encouraging African Americans especially to ‘Give up the pounds, not the fight.’
On the 1 year anniversary, Dr. Ian will kick off a month-long anniversary celebration at NYC’s Apollo Theater. To date the campaign has inspired almost half a million people to lose a collective two million pounds and fight obesity.
To mark the milestone, Dr. Ian has partnering with churches, colleges and civic organizations across the nation to celebrate April as “50 Million Pound Challenge Month.” The initiative designed to recruit more members and sustain its drive to reach its ambitious 50 million pound goal. If you’re interested you can join the growing Challenge online community at 50millionpounds.com.
I’ve seen commercials for this here and there. The concept is really dope. The program takes the collective approach to working out and weight loss. So often people go about the daunting task of improving their body by themselves. Its hard because on those days where you feel too busy or too tired to worry about your health is the time when you probably should.
“We gained the weight together; we can lose it together,” Dr. Ian says. His partnership and teamwork approach has lead to more than 7,000 Challenge teams being formed, helping members lose 15% more weight than the national average.
