*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 18^th : 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.
