Bilkent's first "Spring Fitness Challenge," which began
on March 14, is now in full swing, with 230 Bilkenters participating. Organized by the
Physical Education and Sports Center, it will continue until May 1. The challenge gives
members of the Bilkent community an extra reason to work out: participants receive points
for each exercise session they complete, and the three men and three women with the most
points will receive prizes. To find out how things were going, Bilkent News stopped
by the Student Dormitories Sports Hall and interviewed some of the participants who were
working out.
"I've been working out since Monday, and am getting my conditioning back. I hope I'll
be one of the first three! I come here during my free time between classes. I now have a
better 'sports life.'"
İnanç Tüzüner (ECON/III)
"This Fitness Challenge is a great opportunity for all Bilkenters. It motivates us to
join in more sports activities. I just began working out. The most important thing is to
experience exercising in this wonderful sports hall.
I don't care about being first or second--just participating in the contest is
great."
Yüsra Küçükbahçıvan (MAN/V)
"Exercising regularly is very important. And to do this, we need motivation. The
Spring Fitness Challenge gave me the motivation that I needed to work out. This kind of
program attracts students to participate in more sports activities."
Özgün Balaban (EE)
"This program is very useful for people who haven't been working out regularly.
Fitness is necessary for a healthy life. Many thanks to our sports instructors!" Ali Alper
