4 month Multidisciplinary Supervised Exercise Program
Overview of CHIP Program
The CHIP personalized weight loss program is evidence based and will not only help you lose weight but it will also help you keep it off. The 4 month comprehensive program is designed to help individuals lose weight, learn to exercise correctly and adopt healthy dietary choices.
Current medical research demonstrates that diet and exercise are critical to the prevention and treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. At CHIP, we seek to provide you with the tools to exercise safely and effectively in an environment that includes support and counseling. Embarking on this program may be the first step in a long-term change to a healthy lifestyle.
Why Should You Participate
People with excess weight often have high blood pressure, high triglycerides / cholesterol, and extra fat around the belly, all which increase the risk of having a heart attack or stroke or developing type 2 diabetes.
