Better Living for Michigan's Veterans: Join us for our first Cardio Relay charity event!

Enjoy a great cardio workout, help a Michigan Veteran

On Friday, Oct. 14, Better Living Fitness Center will increase heart rates for a great cause during our first charity Cardio Workout Relay event for the Michigan District of Disabled American Veterans.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help make sure that disabled veterans in our state receive the benefits that they've earned and deserve.

From 6:30 am to 5:30 pm on Friday, Oct. 14, Better Living's cardio machines will be available for participants who want to do a cardio workout to help disabled veterans living right here in Michigan.

Our goal is to have at least one Cardio Workout Relay participant using at least one of our cardio machines - whether one of our elliptical machines, our exercise bikes, or our Stairmaster stepmill - for the entire day.

If you don't have the time, or you aren't yet ready to do a full half-hour of cardio training, no problem! We're scheduling the relay in fifteen-minute segments. Sign up to work out for fifteen minutes if you'd like - or commit to half an hour, forty-five minutes, or even a full hour.






All we ask is that you sign up in advance and make a donation to the Michigan District of Disabled American Veterans.

In return, you'll help fund Michigan Disabled American Veterans' efforts to make sure our vets receive the government assistance that they've earned for their service to our country – and you'll enjoy the benefits of a solid cardio workout on one of our top of the line machines.

Join us for a great day of having fun, getting fit, and supporting Michigan's veterans!

About Disabled American Veterans

I've always intended for Better Living Fitness Center to be a place that makes life better for our wider community. With that in mind, we've started giving a portion of our revenue to a different local charity every month.

And, now that Better Living has become a thriving center with multiple trainers, classes, and a solid client base, it's time for us to do more.

I chose the Michigan District of Disabled American Veterans for our first charity Cardio Relay because, since 1920, DAV has established an impressive track record of service on behalf of our veterans. DAV doesn't just lobby to make sure that our vets aren't forgotten. They also provide a helping hand. DAV does everything from filling out mountains of paperwork to appealing denied claims for health care, service related disabilities, and family assistance.

Disabled American Veterans works to make sure that the men and women who have already made huge sacrifices for our country receive the benefits they've earned and deserve.

I can't think of a better charity for our first Cardio Relay event.
