BMI CHALLENGE

NO MORE EXCUSES -- To help you meet your goals, the BOBY encourages everyone to take the President’s Challenge and join the MAD FOOD Movement. MAD FOOD will help you set realistic goals to achieve fitness for a lifetime. 60 minutes a day for kids and 30 minutes a day for adults will jump-start your healthy lifestyle! The President’s Challenge is for anyone, from students to seniors, but it’s geared toward people who want to set themselves on the path to health & fitness success.

Here is your "SUPER SUPPORT SYSTEM"

How it works:

Sign up early (here), print and bring the registration form to PHAT Fest II on October 2, 2011 to finish the (mandatory) screening process and receive a “Get Fit” kit. Professional medical staff will take private BMI readings on all entrants and log results on the YPF computer. A printout will be given to each individual, which will be used to monitor progress. To qualify for any rewards participants must log in and report at least quarterly. If you achieve the BMI mark before PHAT FEST II 2012, you will get the reward and you’ll be featured on the YPF website and on the YPF Youtube website.

There are many arguments against the use of BMI for everyone, but as a general indicator of the healthy weight range it works for most of us (muscular bodies tend to skew the reading). The BOBY will use height, weight, age and waist size to get a better BMI reading. All participants are privy to a private screening session and the initial results will not be made public without permissions.

BMI Challenge: Get to your healthy weight in 2012 and win valuable prizes. Research shows getting paid even a small reward can help you stay focused and accountable. YPF is recruiting corporate sponsors who want to motivate you to lose weight by donating cash and gifts to celebrate your success. Get your BMI below 25 beginning in May/2012 and be a WINNER! Individuals, couples and 4-person teams are welcome.
