We are about a month and a half into the new year…if you are still going strong on your health/exercise resolutions, great for you! However, if you are struggling, no worries! Bryn Mawr College is here to help! 

While exercising already gives great benefits, sometimes it is a little difficult to get started and keep going. So as a little extra incentive, Bryn Mawr College is holding a Fitness Challenge to promote a healthier campus community. The Fitness Challenge encourages individuals to make healthy choices and established exercise routines. Partnered with the Self Care Office, the Fitness Challenge helps participants find and understand the physical, mental, and emotional connection associated with health. 

Participants will have their name added to Fitness Challenge Board, where they can track their “points.” There are four different ways to earn points: do your own 30 minute workout, attend a Fit Club class, take a orientation/introductory workout session, or participate in a P.E. class or varsity/club sports. Each Monday, participants with 4 or more points for the week will be entered into the weekly drawing. At the end of the month, participants with 16 or more points will be entered into a drawing for Fitbit Wristband Activity Tracker!
 
Register here or at the Fitness Desk to “Get Fit at BMC”!!! The Challenge goes until April 8th! Are you in?
