What is Fall Back Into Fitness

It is a senior based incentive program that motives participants to increase their physical activity through a variety of different activities such as walking, cycling, strength training, aquatics, and using the various exercise machines in the Nimkee Fitness Center. (top)

 

How Does The Program Work

Participants can choose from over 10 different activities to accumulate exercise minutes to earn prizes. Participants are to attempt to accumulate as many exercise minutes as possible during the Fall Back Into Fitness incentive program and record them on their log sheets. (top)

 

Program Description

This incentive is modeled after the �triathlon� athletic event. Participants must complete three different stages of exercises in order to complete the incentive. You must complete each stage in order before moving onto the next activity. (top)

Objective

Participants will �race� to see who can finish all the activities in order first. The faster you accomplish each activity the better chance you will have to be one of the top three finishers for both males and females. (top)

How to Participate

Participants must sign up at the Nimkee Fitness Center front desk and obtain the incentive program activity packet with log sheets to track your progress.

The first part of the three stages consists of the swimming aspect of a triathlon. Participants can fitness swim (laps or lengths) or use the kayak and rowing machines to accumulate 6 miles to advance to the next activity. The second part of the three stages consists of the bicycling aspect of a triathlon. Participants can use the stationary bikes in the fitness center, the Nu-Step machine, or use a bike at home to accumulate 25 miles to advance to the final activity. The final part of the three stages consists of the running aspect of a triathlon.

Participants can use the treadmills, free runners, and walk or run outside to accumulate 15 miles. After they have accumulated the 15 miles they are done with the triathlon and must turn their log sheet in IMMEDIATELY to be eligible for a prize. Log sheets are due as soon as you complete the last activity! (top)

When does it start and finish

This incentive program starts September 24 and will end on October 28. Log sheets will have to be turned in by November 5. (top)

Why should you Participate

f you are like many people, starting and staying on a consistent program can be challenging. A lack of direction and goals can make it even easier to let fitness slide. With realistic goal setting and consistent activity you can make achieving the results you want from being physically active a lot easier. The Fall Back Into Fitness incentive program can help you get back on track with your fitness goals and stay there, by making fitness fun. (top)
