March Madness Fitness Challenge
Join us as we keep our preventative healthcare a top priority throughout the spring season. During the basketball tournament, Chad Austin and Dr. Kelly Baltuska will be working hard to keep you motivated and accountable to improving all aspects of your health.
The following paragraph is from Chad Austin:
“I love this time of year! I start looking forward to March Madness the moment the Super Bowl is over. I love filling out a few brackets, cheering for my favorite teams, and watching all of the surprise small school Cinderella teams try to shock the world! If you’re like me then most of the last two weeks of March are spent watching basketball. If I’m working, I will still be checking the scores obsessively and might even be sneaking out early to watch some games at the sports bar with quality HD sports coverage! During the awesome 3-week span from selection Sunday to the national championship game, it can be pretty easy to forget all about our fitness plan! Isn’t it a little ironic that while we are watching these players burn well over a thousand calories per game, that we are probably consuming about that many while we sit and watch them? By the time the tournament is over we have fallen way out of our workout routine, and probably gained weight in the process! This year I wanted to find a way to help people keep their fitness goals a priority during the tournament”
The March Madness Fitness Challenge is a two-part challenge. The first part is the bracket challenge! Let’s face it. We can’t do a March madness event without including a bracket challenge! That would be crazy! I have created a bracket pool on Yahoos Tourney Pick’em. Here is the link: Fill out bracket now! Just go to the link and create your team in the Be Fit…For Life pool! There is no money involved in the bracket challenge this year, so there is no cost to join the pool. We do plan to make this an annual event though, so we made up the stakes a bit next year!
The second part of this challenge is the most important one! The challenge is to keep fitness a top priority during all of this basketball madness! From selection Sunday (March 16th) to the national championship game (April 7th), we are going to bombard you with lots of great workouts, health and fitness tips, motivational speeches, seminars, and live group workouts! Every day we will do our part to keep you on track! We had a lot of fun putting this together, and I am sure we will add more to it as we work our way through the grand finale of basketball season! There is absolutely no cost to take part in this fun fitness challenge! Here is a link to the Event on Facebook: March Madness Fitness Challenge Event on Facebook
