Hello All Rec Users!
By popular demand our summer fitness program "Pedomination" is back for
year two. Please see details below and the attached packet. Packets are
due NO LATER than Monday June 30th to allow for pedometers to arrive in
time.
*PeDomination 2008*
Harvard’s Pedometer Step Competition
*What:* Teams of 4-6 members compete to accrue steps, tracked with a
pedometer. Team Captains submit TEAM step totals each Monday (in person
or via internet to accommodate for summer vacations). Captains should
see the attached sheet for the recommended way to submit steps.
*When:* Pedomination will run for six weeks beginning Monday July 14th
and will run through Sunday August 24th. Packets are due no later than
Monday June 30th to allow for adequate time to receive ordered pedometers.
*How:* Recruit a team of Harvard affiliates. Each team members should
indicate if they will provide their own pedometer or if they would like
to purchase one from Harvard recreation for $12.
*Other details:* Steps may be logged anywhere, at any time. Follow the
instructions on your pedometer regarding setting, placement, etc. Be
careful not to accidentally reset your pedometer mid-week. Do not shake
your pedometer to run up your totals. According to personal preference,
track each day’s total (starting at 0 each day) or keep your pedometer
running all week long (most pedometers max out at 99 thousand steps).
Steps are submitted on the honor system: weekly limit of 99 thousand
steps. Unfortunately, you may not log steps while biking, whether on a
stationery bike or a regular bike (we are planning a separate bike
mileage contest in the future!) We recommend that each member keep a log
of his/her daily minute totals (see attached) in case of inadvertent
reset. Please note that we advise participants to avoid using extremely
cheap pedometers due to unreliability and the tendency to spontaneously
reset. Also please note that CAPTAINS are responsible for submitting
team minutes. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT INDIVIDUAL EMAILS FROM ANY PARTICIPANT.
