Get Fit Challenge

The Rec/IM is launching the "Get Fit Challenge" in the middle of January 2013. This program is a ten week, multi-disciplinary wellness competition with support from B Young - B Fit, the School of Health Promotion and Human Performance (HPHP), The Wellness Center, and the Office of Nutrition Services.

This program will include fitness workshops, nutrition and wellness seminars and other types of services that improve health and wellness. It is designed as a competition comprised of four- to eight-person teams. Each team will be provided a team leader to help motivate and keep track of participation points. The participation points are awarded for attending workshops/seminars, completing food journals and improving health as determined by periodic fitness assessments. The team that accumulates the highest number of points will win the competition. Each member of the winning team will win a prize. There will also be a prize for the most creative team name.

Additionally, Dr. Julie Jahn's HPHP students will be collecting data as part of a research project.

Prospective LBC designation is being considered.
