Annual Health and Fitness Expo May 6-7 – Giants.com (blog)

NBC 4 New York & Telemundo 47 To Host Fifth Annual Health & Fitness Expo, Presented By Quest Diagnostics EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ For the fifth consecutive year, NBC 4 New York / WNBC and Telemundo 47 New York / WNJU are teaming up with the four-time Super Bowl champion New York Giants for the annual FREE family-friendly Health & Fitness Expo, presented by Quest Diagnostics. One of the Tri-States largest and open-to-the-public health events, the Health & Fitness Expo will be held at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM each day.

NBC 4s lead sportscaster Bruce Beck and Telemundo 47s lead sportscaster Veronica Contreras join New York Giants Linebacker Mark Herzlich and Offensive Lineman Justin Pugh as co-hosts of the health and fitness-focused event, which attracted more than 50,000 visitors in 2016, an increase of 20 percent over the previous year. Beck, Contreras, NBC 4 New York and Telemundo 47 anchors and reporters, as well as active and retired Giants players, will all be on hand throughout the weekend to meet attendees and sign autographs.

The Health and Fitness Expo is one of WNBCs most important community events. Not only is it free and open to the public, but our Expo is filled with a number of fun experiences designed to promote a healthier lifestyle. It is also the only Tri-State event where visitors can tour the Giants locker room, get an up-close view of four Vince Lombardi trophies and meet their favorite WNBC on-air news personalities, said Eric Lerner, President and General Manager of NBC 4 New York.

New for 2017, visitors will be able to obtain their Passport to Health presented by Quest Diagnostics by completing a series of health-themed activities such as fitness tests and health screenings across MetLife Stadium. Visitors completing all passport-related activities will be eligible for giveaways and special prizes to be awarded Expo weekend.

As the Spanish-language home of the FIFA Confederations Cup Russia 2017 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, health and fitness are very important to Telemundo 47 and the communities we serve. Whether your sport of choice is futbol or football, our free Health and Fitness Expo will offer local families an action-packed weekend of activities designed with their health in mind, said Cristina Schwarz, President and General Manager, Telemundo 47.

Visitors will have the opportunity to walk on the actual field where their favorite players play, and will even have access to exclusive locker room tours. While on the field, visitors can access two Zipline towers and participate in a number of activities designed with their health in mind, including scaling a rock wall, running the 40-yard dash and joining the Giants Experience presented by Verizon where fans can participate in football-themed activities on the MetLife Stadium field.

For the fifth straight year, Quest Diagnostics, a proud partner in health of the New York Giants, is the presenting partner of the NBC 4 New York & Telemundo 47 Health & Fitness Expo at MetLife Stadium. Quest will again be on-site offering attendees 18 years and older complimentary health screenings at the Quest Diagnostics Health Center, located inside the MetLife 50 Club within the Stadiums main Great Hall. With their highly trained medical staff, Quest will be offering testing for cholesterol, vitamin D, kidney function and blood sugar level. Each attendee who participates in the free testing will receive their test results directly through the MyQuest mobile health app and online health management system.

Visitors can enjoy healthy cooking demonstrations throughout the weekend and meet with on-site experts to discuss integrative approaches to disease prevention, healthy dieting and nutritional information. The mega-yoga activity, Zen in the Zone, presented by HackensackUMC Fitness & Wellness Powered by the Giants, also invites a crowd of 1,000 yogis to practice yoga on the MetLife Stadium field for the fourth consecutive year.

Separate stages will include the FitnessAge Challenge, a program that reveals your fitness age and the Family Fun Zone, featuring workouts designed for kids and their families. Visitors can participate in virtual winter sports at the Expos Champions Village. The American Heart Association will offer a circuit for kids to test their fitness and health knowledge on the concourse. USA Football will demonstrate their Heads Up Football program, teaching safe tackling techniques and proper equipment fitting on MetLife Stadiums Kids Field, located on the Plaza. Soccer fans will also be able to participate in a clinic lead by FA Euro.

Rain or shine, visitors can participate in the dual NBC 4 New York / Telemundo 47 New York Interactive Weather Center. Participants can see how they look in front of a simulated weather broadcast, meet meteorologists and weather anchors from both stations and tour two new weather vehicles: StormRanger 4 / CazaTormentas 47 a first-of-its-kind mobile Doppler weather radar truck and StormChaser 4 / BuscaTormentas 47, a military-spec sports utility vehicle which can travel directly into the storm.
