Health Enhancement Programs and Special Events

2019-2020 Program: Monday, October 28- January 27

2018-19 Program Overview  

Joining the "Maintain, Don't Gain" Challenge provided accountability and motivation to engage in healthier behaviors this holiday season! The FREE program was available to all BGSU faculty, staff, and students and is planned again in 2019-2020. Details will be provided here in late-fall 2019.

Here's How the Program Worked

• Participants were individuals or teams and registered by attending a pre-holiday weigh-in. Weights were kept confidential.
• Received practical tips, recipes, physical activity suggestions and other information to help engage in healthier behaviors throughout the program.
• Recieved great workouts and opportunities to participate in free instructor led classes.
• Attended a post-holiday "weigh-out". All teams or individuals who maintained or lost weight during the holiday season qualified for select raffle prizes.
