An initiative of the Outrigger on the Lagoon . Fiji’s executive team saw management staff embarking on a fitness and wellness regimen that culminated in a $1000 award for The Biggest Winner.

 The 12 week program began on January 14 after staff from the Sigatoka Hospital carried out physical check-ups which included a blood sugar test, blood pressure, weight and height test and a BMI calculation as well as providing dietary advice.

 A total of 35 management staff enrolled in the program which ran for 12 weeks and rewarded participants with $5 for every kilo lost while the individual with the highest percentage of weight loss for any week received $100.

 The resort’s Activities Attendant Sepesa Leweniqila, a certified physical trainer, put together a different workout program every month with a weigh-in held every Monday to determine the winners for the week.

 At a recent awards function, Ms. Tepola Natadra, Executive Housekeeper was named the Biggest Winner and received the first prize of $1000.

 Teploa said she had not joined the program for the money but for a complete life change. She said it had not only made a difference to her life but also to her children’s.
