The

All-Harvard

Team Fitness Challenge

 

Last year, over 400 people in the Harvard community joined the Team Fitness Challenge to help them meet their fitness goals.  Overwhelmingly, they did:  we heard from team members that they lost weight, dropped pant sizes, and gained strength and aerobic capacity.  The Third Annual Team Fitness Challenge starts February 18th:  are YOU up for the challenge? 

This is how it works:  form a team of 6-8 Harvard affiliates (all members of Harvard athletic facilities).  This can be your blocking group, colleagues in your department, members of your IM team, whomever—if you want to stack your team with 7 other faithful 7:15 am class attenders, go for it!  Then for the next 10 weeks, we will track every minute your team members spend working out.  At the end of the two and a half months, we will tally up the results, and declare the winners!

In addition to recognizing the superstars, we will also be recognizing individuals that attain the ACSM guidelines for physical activity (30 minutes, 6 days a week, which  translates to 180 minutes per person per week) for each of the 10 weeks. 

So challenge another department to participate.  Get your lunch group together.  Talk it up at the water cooler.  Recruit your roommates.  Registration packets will be at the MAC, Hemenway, QRAC & Blodgett front desks in early February, so form a team and get ready to get fit! *The packet has also been attached to this email to make your registration that much easier.
