_PROGRAMS
_*__**__*_*Team Fitness Challenge
*_TFC is coming back in 2010! Last year, over 400 people in the Harvard
community participated the Team Fitness Challenge in valiant efforts to
meet their fitness goals. Overwhelmingly, they did: we heard from team
members that they lost weight, dropped pant sizes, developed healthy
exercise habits, and gained strength and aerobic capacity. Round up a
group of 6-8 participants and register your team this January.
Registration is January 11th-27th and the challenge runs for 6 weeks
beginning February 1st!
