2009 FIT Challenge F.A.Q
What kind of record keeping is involved?
Record keeping is as simple as we can make it. Each week you will report the previous week's activity sessions using your computer. After registration closes, you will be able to access the on-line exercise log
What happens if I can't finish?
Some people sign-up and then for various reasons, cannot continue at the level they selected. We encourage you to keep on with the challenge, even if it means dropping to a lower level. For example, if you began by committing to 5 days and week and could only do 3, then you will get an award for the 3 day/week level. If you must quit, then you tell me and I'll take your name off the list.
Why should I participate?
- Fun: It's fun and helps you to feel great!
- Prizes: Prizes for finishers include gift certificates to the University Bookstore or area restaurants and businesses. Amount of the gift certificate is linked to the level at which you finish the FIT challenge: $10 for level one, $15 for level two, $20 for level three.
- Better Health:Many participants have reported weight loss, lower cholesterol levels, improved stamina, and better moods as a result of having a regular exercise time. Several reported that they just felt better all around.
- Family Time: Because moderate walking is the standard for the challenge, the whole family can participate. Many families participate each year and enjoy the prizes they earn.
