VIRTUAL GATOR FITNESS CHALLENGE UPDATE (through day 4 of week 2): It's a little known fact that today is "National Join the Virtual Gator Fitness Challenge Day"! We now exceed 100 total participants, but there is plenty of room for more to join, so if you are part of the 60+ Gators NOT yet participating, today's the day! All that you have to do is... 1) Complete some sort of a workout of 20 minutes or more... Can be swim/bike/run/strength/core/flexibility as well as just about anything else... Dog walk, MMA training, archery, tennis, karate training... We've had entries for all of these! 2) Find the "Week 2 VGFC Log" post at the top of "Announcements" and enter a comment with the date, time, and type of workout. 3) And don't forget to include other family members that might have worked out with you... including non-Gators! Also, just a reminder that our fabulous Head Coaching Team is continuing to post workouts in Training Peaks! And this week's posts (from Dre Barber) have an extra touch of fun.
