How it works.

The challenge is designed to be a fun way for you to challenge yourself, regardless of your current fitness level.

There are two main components to the challenge - an easy to follow strength workout (click here) that will help you to build muscle - and a cardiovascular challenge (click here) in which you can follow the Torch on its journey to Vancouver. There are three levels for every activity: Bronze, Silver and Gold, the activity you follow, really depends on your current level of fitness.

In your workout booklet, or online (click here) you'll find log sheets. As you complete your workout, fill in your logsheets and every week of the program drop it into the draw box at the Fitness Centre, or Kinesiology Client Services. Besides the reward of improved fitness, you could win a fabulous prize! Make sure you get your log sheets in by Tuesday of each week. Draws will be made every Wednesday at 4:00pm sharp!

Excited? Great! So are we - see you at the Oval on January 19th!
