This fall’s Fitness and Swim Challenges, organized by the Physical Education and Sports Center as part of the Sports as a Way of Life program, ended this month. Combined, the two challenges attracted 170 participants, who committed themselves to exercising two to five times a week over a four- to five-week period.
The challenges are held every semester, with the immediate goal being the accumulation of points; participants collect points each time they exercise, and can also earn extra points by attending the FitChallenge+ group activity. But the challenges’ ultimate aim is to make exercise a lifelong habit for Bilkenters.
Among this semester’s participants, 30 succeeded in meeting the challenge goal of collecting at least 120 points, and will be recognized at a reception to be held this evening at the university swimming pool building. The finishers who ended up with the most points in each challenge are listed below.
