About Palmlesstonnes

The Palmlesstonnes MBF Healthy Lifestyle Challenge is a fun and friendly community challenge aimed at supporting the Palmerston community to achieve a healthy lifestyle through increased physical activity, healthy eating, smoking cessation and the responsible consumption of alcohol. There are a variety of activities that suit people of all levels of fitness and ability. Palmlestonnes is a great, fun way to meet people, try new activities, learn about making lifestyle changes, discover community facilities and activities aswell as helping to make our communities a healthier safer place to live.

Highlights of the 2008 program included regular guided walks, exercise sessions led by professional instructors, interactive sessions such as supermarket tours and nutritional information sessions, weekend special events such as bike rides, water fun days, cooking classes and Sunday walks, as well as a great closing party to celebrate participation and achievement. There is something in the program to suit YOU - whether young or old, male or female, fit or not so fit. All exercise sessions are designed so participants can work at their own pace. There is also periodic weigh-in, measure and blood pressure sessions to help keep you motivated.

Palmlesstonnes 2008 ran for 10 weeks, starting Sunday 17th February 2008. There were plenty of prizes on offer to keep everyone motivated throughout the program, but you had to be in it to win it. One lucky participant went home with 2 return flights to Broome courtesy of Air North. The nominal $30 registration fee included all activities (unless otherwise stated), a T-shirt and registration bag with discount vouchers and other surprises.
