The Biggest Mover Challenge
The Biggest Mover challenge is underway. I hope you each are able to get at least 150 minutes of good exercise each week. Please send weekly reports to me with a copy to your team captain.
Nine teams have been formed, with a captain and seven additional members each. The captain's responsibilities include encouraging team members in their efforts and assisting as necessary with collecting weekly scoring sheets/exercise logs.
Points will be awarded to members who get 150 minutes of good exercise in a week, with bonus points for extra blocks of 50 minutes, and for successfully completing occasional bonus challenges. The bonus for week one was three points for those who volunteered at the Chili Cookoff.
The challenge will run for three months, concluding February 3, 2012, with a one week break between Christmas and New Years. Team scores will be calculated and posted weekly. Individual summaries for each week need to be submitted by the following Tuesday to be included in team scores and available for our weekly Rotary luncheon.
If you haven't signed up, but would like to, please contact Steve Quigley, quigsteve@aol.com. The program is for all of us--to help us get into the habit of daily exercise and have some fun with friendly competition. You don't need to be a jock, a member of a fitness center, or a regular exerciser to participate. Don't feel you need to exert yourself too much. Hopefully you'll work at a pace at which you're breathing heavily and sweating a little, and will keep with it to achieve an average of 30 minutes a day, five days each week, in blocks of at least 10 minutes. Walking is an excellent way to exercise. So is riding a stationary bike, raking leaves, walking for 9 or 18 holes of golf, playing tennis, etc.
