FloorExpo Winners of ‘Body For Life’ Challenge

Marietta, GA, March 23, 2006--For FloorExpo the expression, ‘Physical fitness before mental fitness,’ is more than a motto; it is a key value for the nation's largest finishing contractor network. To encourage others towards a healthier lifestyle, FloorExpo invited all member companies, member company employees, supply partners, and corporate employees to take the first annual 2005 Body-for-Life Corporate Challenge. FloorExpo’s Body-for-Life Corporate Challenge was a 12-week healthy living contest based on the proven principles of the best-selling book, "Body-for-Life." The challenge was introduced at the FloorExpo conference in September 2005 with words of encouragement from the national 1998 Body-for-Life Challenge Champion, Kelly Adair. Adair’s inspiring experience motivated 122 people to complete FloorExpo’s 12-week fitness challenge. Judging for individual and team participants was based on before and after photos and on transformation essays submitted by each contestant. FloorExpo presented awards to the winners during its annual cocktail party at Surfaces 2006.
