VC resolves to 'ManUp', encourages others to log-in for health and fitness
Published on 17 May, 2012
CQUniversity's Professor Scott Bowman has never met a biscuit he did not like, but he's resolved to reduce his intake of calories while trying the ManUp health and fitness program aimed at Capricornia region residents.
Achieving a healthy weight is something many Central Queenslanders need to be conscious of says Physical Activity researcher Dr Mitch Duncan, who emphasises that, "It's important for us to be aware of what our weight status really is and if this is causing problems for our health".
Participants get FREE access to the ManUp program, which is delivered via mobile phone and the internet.
