The state’s largest wellness program, Scale Back Alabama, kicks off this Monday, April 5, just in time for Spring! This year’s program is entirely new and allows participants to scale back in their own way! Registration is currently open to all who live or work in Alabama and closes on Sunday, April 4, at 11:59 p.m.
This year, Scale Back Alabama will be an entirely virtual program with all new content including recipes, fitness videos, a podcast, blog posts, and more! Participants will register online and choose one to three goals on which to focus throughout the 10-week program. Each week, participants will receive a challenge and a health tip to keep them motivated. Weight loss is now optional, and participants will select their own wellness goals.
It is easy to register an individual participant. Two-person teams are no longer required:
