WHAT IS REV UP 2018?
Recovery-Exercise-Variety ~ Unlimited Possibilities 
is an eight-week challenge for teams of two, designed for motivating and encouraging members to focus on the process of incorporating a complete health and fitness program into their lives.  By utilizing a team-based challenge and weekly, short-term goals, REVUP hopes to make incorporating a comprehensive wellness program easy and enjoyable. 
 
This year, participants will utilize the DailyEndorphin online wellness platform to track health and fitness goals during the competition. Participants will log their daily health and fitness activities on a computer or smartphone with the free DailyEndorphin app (available for Android and iOS).  As participants achieve daily & weekly goals they earn points towards raffle tickets used in the grand prize drawing at the end of the challenge. The more points earned, the greater chance of winning the grand prize of $500!

CHALLENGE DETAILS
Teams of two can be member-created, or participants without a partner will be paired based on similar exercise schedules.

Healthy Holiday Eating
from the desk of Susan Cutshaw, M.S.

The holiday season is a time to enjoy family and friends. It also provides an opportunity to overindulge with sweets, alcohol, and other goodies. Navigating through the parties without gaining unwanted weight is challenging even for the most disciplined.
 
Many Americans gain one or two pounds over the holidays according to the National Institute of Health.  That extra holiday weight really adds up over the years creating potentially serious health problems.

To thoroughly enjoy the festive experience, focus should not be placed on denial or restrictions. Instead, concentrate on healthy choices and maintaining weight so New Year's resolutions are about something different than cleaning up our diets.   
Here's a few healthy tips:
  • Eat something before going to a party, never arrive hungry; that's a recipe for overeating
  • Check out the buffet table before filling up your plate
  • Fill up on veggies and fruits, first, prior to the higher calories dishes
  • Moderation is key; select smaller portions of those high calorie items
  • Bring a healthy dish to share
  • Eat slowly
  • Drink lots of water
  • Limit alcohol consumption; choose red wine over mixed drinks
