UCA RESIDENCE HALL/APARTMENT
FITNESS CHALLENGE FALL 2007

CONGRATULATIONS to the winners of the first
"Annual Residence Hall Fitness Challenge"!!!!

The on-campus residence hall winners were:  Hughes Hall with 15,280 minutes The off-campus apartment residence winners were:  Bear Village - (Team #1) with 2,962 minutes.

The purpose of the program was to get all UCA campus residence students to work as a team with their residence mates to acquire as many minutes of exercise in a 6 week period as possible working out only 60 minutes/day/participant.  Working as a team they could make new friends in their residences, help keep each other accountable and motivated to a workout program and we would promote activities at the HPER Center that lead to improved health and life-long fitness.

Each class had a goal.  They were as follows:

FRESHMAN:            Avoid the “Freshman 15”
SOPHOMORES:       “Take OFF” the Freshman 15.
JUNIORS:                Is it now the “Junior 20”? Yikes!!!
SENIORS:                This is your last year to get in here!!

Following is a list of all the standings at the end of the six week program:
