Get fit: Join the Student Wellness Challenge by Feb. 12!

Criminal Justice & Emergency Services, Physical Education and Sport Studies and Student Health Services are sponsoring a challenge to motivate our students to work toward achieving better fitness in Spring 2018. It is based on the New York State Municipal Police Training Council Fitness standards, which measure fitness using running ability, sit-ups and push-ups. The ultimate goal will be to meet or exceed the standards, but participants can set their own goals and work toward improvement.

The Challenge will start on February 15 with an initial assessment and end on April 26 with a final evaluation. A progress assessment will also be offered on March 29 to let participants check their status against their goals. Assessments will be conducted from 2 to 4 p.m. on the dates noted.

Any student who signs up for the Challenge and completes the initial assessment will receive a Wellness Challenge water bottle. Participants who successfully complete the Challenge will receive a Certificate of Completion and a T-Shirt.

Prizes will also be awarded for Most Improved and the leaders in each of the Challenge categories. Students are required to participate in the pre- and post-test, and are strongly encouraged to participate in the mid-test to measure their progress.

Suggested clothing: Workout clothing including sweatsuits or shorts and T-shirt as well as a good pair of gym shoes.Sign up for the challenge before February 12 by clicking here and filling out the form.

Be sure to sign up early! Participation is limited to the first 350 students. An email confirming your registration will be sent on or before Feb. 12.

A note to faculty and staff: We are seeking faculty and staff to volunteer at the physical agility test events. If you would like to volunteer to assist, please email Kerry Weber at kalickweberkc@sunybroome.edu
