Meet the Mayor


Mayor Bill White formed the Mayor's Wellness Council after Men's Fitness magazine listed Houston as the "Fattest City in America."

Stay fit and have fun this New Year!

 

The Mayor’s New Year New You Challenge is a five week wellness program which aims to encourage and motivate Houstonians of all ages and abilities to engage in wellness activities during the New Year. Specifically, the challenge will raise participants’ awareness of their daily physical activities, encourage healthy eating and routine exercise in a fun and supportive environment.

  • The challenge will distribute game cards, resembling the popular game ‘Bingo’ to all interested individuals.
  • The game cards contain wellness activities that are to be performed throughout the challenge period, from January 25 – February 28 2009.
  • Participants focus on a healthy diet, physical activity and emotional health as they perform the wellness activities.
  • At the end of the challenge period we will recognize participants’ efforts with a discount coupon!
