Can Americans really burn 50,000 pounds of fat in a single day? Gold's Gym thinks we can and is challenging communities across the country to come together and "do a 180°" on diabetes by burning 180 million calories (or 50,000 pounds of fat)! You can help by participating in the 1st Annual Burn-A-Thon benefiting the American Diabetes Association on Saturday, November 7th. Pledge to workout for an hour or more on your favorite piece of cardio equipment and collect donations from your friends, family, and colleagues. You'll not only help us set a new world-record but also help kick-off our new Stop Diabetes movement. To learn how to be part of this one of a kind event, visit www.diabetes.org/tour-goldsburnathon.
