Major Award!

We've won a major award in the Fitness Challenge drawing! According to Judy Leitz, the SCOE representative in charge of the Fitness Challenge, we've won a Power Resistance cord and a cooling towel. I'm not sure how best to share the prize among us; I can see keeping the Power Resistance cord at school and using it for exercise on breaks / when we feel like it, but the cooling towel - ew. Maybe we should just have a drawing from among our members for sole ownership of the goods?

Here is a link for the Zumba exercises I mentioned a few posts back.

SCOE blood drive is this Tuesday. You need an appointment for this, but it's an easy 10 points. I didn't realize that bloodletting was still considered an effective way of improving one's health! ;) Call Chris at 238-1707 to make an appointment if you would like to donate.

It's a busy week for events! Some other calendar items of note:

2 points if we plan a healthy potluck to share with one another this week. :)

Wednesday the 24th - line dancing class from 12-1 at H Street, in the Elmdale room.

Friday the 26th - SCOE Fitness t-shirt (1 point), Zumba lesson (see link above - 1 point), and finally, for 2 points, do the following complete set of exercises 3 times:

• 25 sit-ups or crunches
• 25 push-ups
• 25 leg lunges

(In other words, 75 total of each exercise, broken into 3 sets.)

These exercises all have to be done on Friday the 26th, not spread out!

Finally, a quick article and a lot of good tips regarding heart-healthy habits can be found here.

Thanks to all for your hard work and make sure your point logs are in to me by the end of the day on Monday, February 22nd!
