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!
For more information please view the web page at: http://recreation.gocrimson.com/programs/tfc
