Get ready Kansas City Kansas Community College. The KCKCC Wellness & Fitness Center is starting the New Year by helping the campus community develop a healthier lifestyle.
The 30/60 Miles in 30 Days Challenge starts Feb. 3. Its purpose is to encourage students, staff, faculty and community members to complete at least one mile of cardiovascular activity every day for a month. For those who would like to do more physical activity each day, 60 miles in 30 days has been added as an option. This would mean instead of one mile a day, participants would do two miles a day.
Activities can include walking, jogging, riding a bike or one mile on an elliptical machine. Participants are encouraged to make this a personal challenge. For example, if you are already doing two miles of cardiovascular exercise a day, make yourself go faster for one of those miles.
Upon registering, individuals will receive a Tracking Card, which is what they will turn in at the end of the 30/60 Miles in 30 Days Challenge to show the activity logged. Participants mark the box for each day they complete a mile. When the challenge ends March 14, individuals will submit their completed cards for a chance at winning a prize. The Tracking Card does not include any Saturdays or Sundays.
