Summer 2010 PCC Faculty/Staff Wellness Challenge
The PCC Wellness Committee is pleased to announce the first annual Summer Wellness Challenge for our great Faculty/Staff.
This Summer we will be continuing our great pursuit by "Stepping Out: Taking the Steps to Pursue a Healthier Lifestyle." The purpose of this Challenge is to help us develop greater fitness habits that lead us to an overall healthier lifestyle.
During this Summer the Challenge will provide us the opportunity to focus individually on accumulating both Pedometer Steps and Exercise Minutes in a fun, low level competition that can positively impact our entire campus. The potential benefits to be gained are well worth the time, energy, effort and investment to support this great event.
The Challenge will provide the ability for our Faculty/Staff to pursue a healthier lifestyle through earning points gained by partaking of healthful habits in a fun competition format. Points will be earned by
- Individually recording your total steps taken each day
- Individually recording your total minutes of exercise
- Assessing, setting and pursuing a weight management goal of either: gaining weight, losing weight or maintaining weight.
- Each participant will have the opportunity to have a private and confidential personal body composition analysis (pre and post) and goal setting assistance. As well, weekly private and confidential weigh-ins will be held to provide accurate measures of each participant's progress in pursuit of their personal weight management goals.
A variety of active learning & activity sessions will be conducted for PCC Faculty/Staff throughout the Summer term. The purpose of these sessions will be to further empower participants to succeed in their personal pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. Sessions will include such topics as:
- Increasing your physical activity each day
- Increasing your overall steps each day
