Bizically Fit Health Challenge

The Alliance for a Healthier Minnesota's annual health challenge is back and better than ever!

Formerly the Biggest Loser Minnesota Challenge, our 2012 BizicallyFIT Health Challenge now features a new "College and University" competition division to allow teams of faculty, staff and students at participating schools to compete on behalf of their respective institution. This year Concordia has accepted the challenge! (It's perfect timing to shape up before spring!)

Are you up for the Challenge?

You are invited to join in the fun and compete for weekly rankings, virtual trophies, and, perhaps most importantly, bragging rights on behalf of Concordia against faculty, staff and students at other MIAC schools and other Minnesota colleges and universities.

Beginning January 23 you can sign up for the free 2012 BizicallyFIT Health Challenge, sponsored by the Alliance for a Healthier Minnesota.

The web-based Challenge will begin February 13 and end May 4 and includes many new features:

  • Social features that allow you to communicate more easily with team members and rival teams
  • Mini-challenges to help you and your team keep up the momentum throughout the 12-week challenge
  • Three categories for points on the leaderboard: exercise minutes, pedometer steps and weight loss
  • Tracking by SMS text or mobile browsing on your smartphone

How It Works:

  1. Individuals sign up and then create or join a team (Attn: Concordia team captains - Please use this naming model CONC-"Team Name")
  2. Team members individually track their exercise minutes, pedometer steps, and/or weight loss at 2012HealthChallenge.com each week
  3. Competitors follow the online Leaderboard for rankings and bragging rights
  4. Virtual trophies are awarded to top scoring teams

Note: Make sure to add BizicallyFIT@Healthiermn.com to your email address book to ensure you don't miss out on critical information about the challenge.
