Did you make that usual New Year’s Resolution to lose weight, get into better shape, or look good for your spring break trip. Then join us in the Healthy Hornet Challenge.  There is no better time to work on your health that at the beginning of a new year! 

 

What is the Healthy Hornet Challenge?

The Healthy Hornet Challenge is designed to encourage healthier living through physical activity, nutrition, and overall wellness. This six week program is designed with incentives to develop a commitment to healthy lifestyle choices. This opportunity is FREE for ALL students, faculty and staff. ESU Faculty/staff will also have free access to the student recreation center while participating in the event. 

From January 28, 2013, through March 8, 2013, your challenge is to gain as many points as possible each week, report your points to your team captain, and get healthy! This year we have added new activities and added more chances to earn points, so there will be plenty of opportunities to win some cool prizes and awards! 

This will be a team challenge (4 members per team), however we will be giving out individual prizes as well. We hope you will find this fun and encouraging in developing positive lifestyle changes.

We will be taking registrations from November 27th until January 27th.
