Get Smart, Get Fit, Get Movin' in 2007

Did you make that New Year's resolution to lose weight, get in shape, or make better and healthier choices? The Wellness Committee theme for 2007 is Get Smart, Get Fit, Get Movin'. We want to help you find the inspiration to get moving and shed those extra holiday pounds!

UPDATE: 2/1/07

Faculty, Staff, and Administration: Get Up and Get Movin' because the Fitness Challenge has begun!  Six teams have formed, but we could use a few more participants for some of those teams.  If you have been thinking about adding some healthy activity to your life and want to participate in a little friendly competition, this is just the event for you. Better health awaits you! All you have to do is log your activity and/or weight loss, and submit your numbers to a team captain.  We are still accepting individuals or teams, so email millsd@juniata.edu or garlocw@juniata.edu indicating your interest in participation.  Don’t forget to watch for periodic updates of team progress in the challenge.

Get Up & Get Movin' Fitness Challenge Guidelines

The Fitness Challenge runs February 1 through April 30, 2007. Participants should use the Fitness/Activity Log to document their activity and/or weight loss (honor system), and report totals to the Team Captain when requested.

Team Captains will be provided with a reporting schedule. Captains should collect team member data and report to the Fitness Challenge Coordinators at least bi-weekly.

The activity challenge is primary and the weight loss challenge is secondary. A team or individual can still participate in the activity challenge without reporting in the weight category. Teams are encouraged to share recipes, work-out tips, wellness articles, etc., and provide support to each other during the challenge.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

  • Individual with the greatest weight loss (1st, 2nd, 3rd place)
  • Individual with the greatest minutes of activity (1st, 2nd, 3rd place)
  • Team with greatest minutes of activity (prize for each team member)
  • Team with the greatest weight loss (prize for each team member)

Questions should be directed to Fitness Challenge Coordinators Doreen Mills at millsd@juniata.edu or Wendy Garlock at garlocw@juniata.edu.
