The Contest

Runyon Fit Club 1.0 will run from January 12, 2009 to June 24, 2009. This will give us almost exactly six (6) months of competition time, and Abby graduates from FHS on June 25! What a perfect way to celebrate after all the hard work we will put in over the next six months.

WHAT WE WON'T BE DOING
We will not be totaling percentage body weight lost or body fat lost. There are pertinent numbers needed to do so, and those are private.

WHAT WE WILL BE DOING
A point system has been created which places equal value on Diet, Cardio and Strength training. It rewards everyone who takes part. Points will be compiled on a weekly basis. We have taken into account that not everyone can get to a gym - so we will have at-home workouts for you (though you may need to purchase a set of dumbells).

Points will be awarded as follows:
* Small Meal - 1 pt per meal (based on six meals per day)
* Making and Eating Recipe of the Week - 1 pt
* Every 10 mins. of Cardio training - 1 pt
* Every 10 mins. of Strength training - 1 pt
* Pounds Lost - 1 pt per pound

** Weeks run Monday - Sunday
** Recipe of the Week must be completed by Sunday evening of week in play

Point totals will be compiled by participant (honor system) and submitted to J.C. no later than Monday morning each week. Leaders will be announced on a weekly and monthly basis.

At the conclusion of The Contest, the participant with the highest cumulative point total will be declared Champion of Runyon Fit Club 1.0 (prizes TBD).
