Faculty/Staff Fitness Programs 2007-08
The programs below are designed to give participants incentive to begin, expand, or increase a fitness program. All programs will cover an approximate 30 week period beginning Sep 17, 2007 and ending April 11, 2008. During this time, activities should be kept on your log sheet. The programs are run on the honor system. You will be responsible for recording your activities on your log sheet and then turning your log sheet into Rob Wittman at the end of the program.
There is a $10.00 cost to register for these programs to help cover the cost of the t-shirts (or whatever we decide to award those who successfully achieve their goal). You may choose from one of the three programs below.
See Below for our new addition!!!
Walk Around Behrend!
Let’s explore as much of our campus as we can and have fun and get some exercise at the same time. This program is geared toward our walkers and here are your parameters:
-
The only walking you may count is walking that you do as part of an exercise program. This means that walking from your car to your office and back does not count. What we want you to do is set aside time to come over to the Junker Center and walk the track or a treadmill or take a walk outside at lunch - the basic rule is you can count mileage when you set aside time to walk. We want this to be extra – or in addition to what you do every day.
-
Your goal is to average eight to ten miles per week or 240-300 miles over the 30 weeks of the program.
-
Keep the mileage on your log sheet. You may count partial miles and add them up.
Behrend Triathlon!
Let’s really get in shape here. This program is for our cross training individuals and here are the parameters:
-
You must mix swimming, biking (stationary or outside), and running (you may substitute some elliptical work).
-
Your swimming goal is ¾ of a mile per week which would be 22.5 miles over the 30 week period.
-
Your biking goal is 12 miles per week or 360 miles over the 30 week period.
-
Your running goal is four miles per week or 120 miles over the 30 week period.
-
Keep the mileage on your log sheet.
-
You may count partial miles and add them up.
-------------------------------------------------
The addition will be here within the triathlon program. We will call it the Behrend Triathlon w/o the swimming. The difference is we will have to raise the expectations of the two parts which are left
-
You must mix biking (stationary or outside) and running (you may substitute some elliptical work).
-
Your biking goal is 20 miles per week or 600 miles over the 30 week period.
-
Your running goal is six miles per week or 180 miles over the 30 week period.
-
Keep the mileage on your log sheet.
-
You may count partial miles and add them up.

Body & Mind!
For the Yoga/Pilates group of exercisers and the parameters are:
-

-
Each week your possible combinations could be:
-
Two yoga classes and one cardio workout
