January 14, 2009
MACOMB, IL -- Western Illinois University's kinesiology department is offering a free health screening to area women who are currently going through menopause and have a goal to lose weight this year.
According to Beth Ewing, WIU graduate student and research assistant, each participant will receive a personalized workout plan and dieting tips. Respondents will be evaluated for current and ideal body mass index, caloric intake, body fat percent and weight and will also get information about their resting metabolic rate and waist-to-hip ratio. Each appointment will take about 30 to 40 minutes, Ewing noted.
"Having and using this information can greatly increase your success rate in regard to your weight-loss goals," Ewing said.
To set up an appointment, contact Ewing at (309) 298-1067 or BA-Ewing@wiu.edu.
