WEBVTT 00:07.719 --> 00:08.719 Oh , 00:15.529 --> 00:17.696 I haven't been focusing on my physical 00:17.696 --> 00:20.899 health for a while now . And honestly , 00:20.909 --> 00:23.170 it was time . So this has given me the 00:23.180 --> 00:25.889 push to really get my health better 00:25.899 --> 00:27.955 because I just , I want to be around 00:27.955 --> 00:30.329 for a long time . Seka Villanueva , a 00:30.389 --> 00:32.549 summer community member is at the gym 00:32.560 --> 00:34.779 for her morning workout . Villanueva , 00:34.790 --> 00:37.270 a Michigan native who enjoys crocheting 00:37.279 --> 00:39.223 in her free time , decided to push 00:39.223 --> 00:41.446 herself and is running with her friends 00:41.529 --> 00:43.640 so I can do it only one time around . 00:43.640 --> 00:45.862 But if I have to do it more than that , 00:45.862 --> 00:48.290 I don't like running . I'm not a runner . 00:48.299 --> 00:50.355 The two are working out as part of a 00:50.355 --> 00:52.466 six week transformation program known 00:52.466 --> 00:54.919 as the biggest loser competition camp 00:55.349 --> 00:57.405 Tamami Wellness Center organizes the 00:57.405 --> 00:59.571 event at the beginning of every year , 00:59.571 --> 01:01.571 collaborating with the team at Yano 01:01.571 --> 01:03.700 Fitness Center . The program not only 01:03.709 --> 01:06.430 focuses on weight loss but also helping 01:06.440 --> 01:08.989 community members to create and sustain 01:09.000 --> 01:11.319 a healthy lifestyle . Interest in the 01:11.330 --> 01:13.769 program has grown exponentially over 01:13.779 --> 01:15.612 the years , but participation is 01:15.612 --> 01:18.391 limited to 35 individuals so that slots 01:18.402 --> 01:20.772 typically fill up very quickly hila 01:20.952 --> 01:23.008 ever showed up to the program's kick 01:23.008 --> 01:25.230 off meeting wearing the biggest loser T 01:25.230 --> 01:27.396 shirt . She and the other participants 01:27.396 --> 01:29.563 received when they signed up , she was 01:29.563 --> 01:31.674 ready from day one . Working out with 01:31.674 --> 01:34.311 somebody else is so much nicer . I 01:34.321 --> 01:36.377 really get motivation from the other 01:36.377 --> 01:38.432 people I work out with . It's really 01:38.432 --> 01:40.710 hard forcing yourself to get out there . 01:40.710 --> 01:42.654 But that's where you or a tribe or 01:42.654 --> 01:44.654 community comes in because then you 01:44.654 --> 01:46.877 have your friends to be like you better 01:46.877 --> 01:49.099 come . You , you said you were going to 01:49.099 --> 01:51.321 be here throughout the next six weeks . 01:51.321 --> 01:53.321 The participants could get guidance 01:53.321 --> 01:55.377 from fitness and wellness experts on 01:55.377 --> 01:57.543 the base . Viane took your heart . One 01:57.543 --> 01:59.710 particular piece of advice , listen to 01:59.710 --> 02:01.765 your body . She kept that in mind as 02:01.765 --> 02:03.988 she focused on physical conditioning at 02:03.988 --> 02:06.154 the end of the competition , Rezian is 02:06.154 --> 02:08.686 the top male and female finishers shown 02:08.695 --> 02:10.906 here while Chief Warrant Officer to 02:10.916 --> 02:13.695 Troy Gibson and Megan Akira , even 02:13.705 --> 02:15.927 though she didn't win . Villanueva said 02:15.927 --> 02:18.094 she was very happy with the results in 02:18.094 --> 02:21.156 which she lost £2.06 inches from her 02:21.166 --> 02:23.175 waistline . This program in general 02:23.186 --> 02:25.516 kicked my butt into making it happen . 02:25.526 --> 02:28.065 I feel awesome . I go to sleep at a 02:28.076 --> 02:30.076 reasonable time . Now , I have this 02:30.076 --> 02:32.187 feeling of becoming more of a morning 02:32.187 --> 02:34.243 person . Shanon Bo , the lead health 02:34.243 --> 02:36.354 educator for the Army Wellness Center 02:36.354 --> 02:38.520 spoke about the comprehensive benefits 02:38.520 --> 02:40.687 of the program . The big thing is this 02:40.687 --> 02:42.909 is a catalyst . It kind of shows people 02:42.909 --> 02:44.965 how they like to do wellness because 02:44.965 --> 02:47.132 everyone does it kind of differently . 02:47.132 --> 02:49.354 But I think the main thing was a lot of 02:49.354 --> 02:51.465 people just like to have something to 02:51.465 --> 02:53.576 jump start for us . It was just a way 02:53.576 --> 02:55.632 for us to reconnect to the community 02:55.632 --> 02:55.518 after this . I am going to cut back a 02:55.527 --> 02:57.638 little bit on working out every day . 02:57.638 --> 02:59.860 That's just going to help me keep going 02:59.860 --> 03:02.600 on my journey and get healthy reporting 03:02.610 --> 03:04.589 for us .
