Hey lap swimmers! Compete against your fellow swimmers in this friendly competition during the month of April. Keep track of your laps every time you swim (any stroke) and the top 20 with the highest number of laps at the end of the challenge will win a prize. Sign up on the pool deck at the Rec Center April 1 through April 30.
This 30-day challenge will help strengthen your core, improve stability, reduce back pain and build your overall endurance. Whether you practice on your own or attend our group exercise classes to practice your plank - you will build up enough strength in 30 days to compete in the Plank Competition on Tuesday, May 6. Planks will be performed on the forearms and toes.
Campus Recreation wants you to stay healthy and save the earth too. Invite your friends and family to walk, run and plog outside for Earth Week! “Plogging” is the Swedish fitness craze designed to save the earth by picking up trash while you run or jog. Not into plogging? Try “plalking” which is walking while picking up trash.
Join us in the Fitness Center (M2510) and test your endurance in this fun and engaging challenge. Time yourself to see how quickly you can complete as many full rounds of the designated 5 exercises in 5 minutes. One round consists of 20 reps of all 5 exercises for a total of 100 reps. This challenge can be completed as many times as you would like. Report your entries to the Fitness Floor Monitor. The top winner with the fastest time will receive an official Rec Center hoodie.
