5. Fitness Assessment: (October 13 and 15; December 1 and 3) Participants are given a fitness assessment including testing of their flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and body composition. The assessment is followed by recommendations on how to improve or maintain their fitness level.

4. Bench Press Challenge: (October 20) A weight is assigned and participants are to bench press this as many times as possible. Men will be assigned to bench press their own body weight and women will be assigned half of their own body weight.

3. Get-A-Grip Challenge: (November 10) This entails hanging from a chinning bar for as long as the participant can with arms straight and hands not touching. This must be done without the use of artificial support such as chalk or wrist straps.

2. Fitness Challenge: (December 1) This challenge will include bar hanging, bench pressing and stretch running. Points for participation are accumulated for completing each activity. Performance points are also awarded for placing in the top five of each activity.

1. Daily Fitness Center Access: (DAILY) The fitness center is open often. Find a time in your schedule to visit and utilize the equipment. Just a little while a day can make a huge difference in your overall fitness and health.
