Get smoke free this New Year!
The New Year is upon us. Time to start thinking about those blasted resolutions again. We make them year on year but it’s always a struggle to follow through. By February, the best of us are usually back to our old habits.
Have you been thinking of giving up cigarettes with friends or family this year? If you want to make a real go of dropping the smokes for good, then we’d love to get involved and help you out. Our life coach, Raul Aparici, says the first step is to set aside a quitting date and to stick with it. Doing so can help you begin the “ritual” of quitting and prime you for the challenge ahead. Once you’ve decided to quit, we’ll be here to help.
This year we’re launching our Quit to Fit campaign along with NiQuitin. Over the course of ten weeks, we want to bring you on a journey to improved health and wellbeing.
Through a series of physical activities designed to take you out of your routine and keep you motivated to stay smoke-free, we want to see you through these 10 weeks. You’ll also have a lot of fun in the process and get to try out lots of new things.
Five groups will be chosen to be the face of the campaign. Your group can be as small as two people or as big as 10. So whether it’s your spouse, siblings or even a bunch of mates from work that want to give up the habit, you can bring them along with you. We’ll follow your progress through weekly Instagram posts so you’ll need to post regular updates.
The chosen people will be given help and advice on quitting, invited to try out weekly physical challenges and there’ll be weekly treats for the participants. As if being smoke-free wasn’t enough of an incentive, we’ll be picking our overall winners from the groups at the end of the ten weeks and the winning team will win the outstanding fitness holiday up to the value of €5,000.
We’ll also track the impact of this healthier lifestyle on your health. If you want to take part, you’ll need to be available to do VO2 testing on February 10 or February 11 in Dublin.
Even if you don’t fancy being front and centre of the campaign, follow along with the challenges and try to kick the habit for good. It’s a perfect opportunity to embrace a healthier lifestyle in 2018 and to get the year off to a great start.
Best of luck!
