*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.
