VIRTUAL GATOR FITNESS CHALLENGE: WEEK 1 WORKOUT LOG Earlier today we announced the start of the "Virtual Gator Fitness Challenge (VGFC)", hopefully a fun and interactive way to have some motivation to work towards a weekly team hours goal. This post serves as the log for week 1, which runs from Monday, March 23 through Sunday, March 29. Following is a summary of how the VGFC works... Here's how it works... • What counts? Each time that you complete any sort of workout of at least 20 minutes, you have earned the right to log time into our club weekly VGFC total. • How do I log a workout? Easy! Each time you complete a workout (can include multiple workouts per day), just post a comment to the weekly VGFC post that will appear under announcements each Monday! Your comment can be as simple as "30 minutes run" or you can feel free to include photos and/or additional text describing your workout... It's up to you how concise or detailed you'd like to be! • Who is eligible to participate? All Gators, including Gator Tots and Jr. Gators... And we're also including the rest of your family members if they would like to participate! So if you go for a 30 minute hike with your spouse and two kids, that would count as 4x30 minutes = 2 hour workout. • What constitutes a workout? We're going to use a broad definition, so we'll include all of the usual activities, such as... Swim (if you are fortunate enough to have an endless pool or if you complete dryland exercises), Bike (including outdoor, spin, trainer), Run/jog, and Strength/flexibility/core workouts including stretching and yoga. But we'll also count other activities that help you stay fit such as walking and hiking. It's up to you to decide what to log... We're giving a lot of latitude. • Do we have a goal? It'll be easier to determine our weekly goal once we see how the participation level is, so for week 1 we'll take a shot in the dark and our goal will be 200 total hours... That may sound like a lot, but when you consider our 135+ members and their extended non-Gator family members, I'm really hoping we can exceed it! Gator Done!... And then post about it here!
