FITNESS PROGRAMS FALL 2009

Fall Back Into Shape

• What are the teams? How many people can we have?
  Teams will be made up of 3-4 students, completely of their choosing.
  
• How will you be ranking the teams?
  The competition will measure team % weight loss from original starting weight. Everyone will weigh themselves every Thursday, and record their weight on file. Then our professionals will take that data and plug it into our excel spreadsheets, add a few formulas, and BAM! we have our team % weight loss.
  
• How else can we measure our fitness success? There is more to being fit than just losing weight!
  Students will also set personal goals. This can be something as simple as "go to the gym once a week," or as elaborate as "Run the mile in 6 minutes." Either way, it's up to you to meet them!
  
• I don't want anyone seeing my weight. That's very personal information.
  FEAR NOT! No one will! Weigh-ins and weight reporting will be strictly confidential, so there's no need to avoid the scale! This program is very user friendly. Remember, we're counting total team percentage weight loss, thats it.
  
• How do I become part of this new and exciting program?
  All you have to do to sign up is come to the SRC front desk, and express your interest in the program. The helpful fitness staff will take care of the rest.
