BIKE, RUN, AND SWIM FOR FITNESS

Bike for Fitness
The Bike for Fitness program has been designed by the Department of Recreational Sports for individuals who prefer biking as a means of staying fit. Mileage certificates will be awarded for bicycling 250, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500 and 3,000 miles. For mileage to count towards a certificate, you must bike in increments of 10 miles or more. Mileage goals must be completed within the academic year (September 1 - August 31).

A Bike for Fitness mileage chart is available to help record distances biked. After completing any of the above mileage goals, please fill out the lower portion of the mileage chart and submit it to the CCRB, NCRB or IMSB main business office. Bike for Fitness certificates may be picked up 10 days after submitting an application.

Run for Fitness
The Run for Fitness program is patterned on progressive distance running based on the aerobic theory to strengthen the cardiovascular system, heart, lungs and circulatory system by gradually expanding one's capacity to handle stress. This program should provide sufficient exercise to significantly improve the strength and running endurance of regular participants. Progress charts for Run for Fitness participants are posted at the CCRB, NCRB and IMSB. Mark a small square for every 1/4 mile you run. Long distance runners may choose to mark a small square for every mile run. You may also count the miles that you run elsewhere. Mileage goals must be completed within the academic year (September 1 - August 31).

Mileage certificates will be awarded for running 50, 100, 500, 750, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 miles. When you have reached a specific mileage goal, please fill out the lower portion of the Run for Fitnes form and submit it to the CCRB, NCRB or IMSB main business office. Run for Fitness certificates may be picked up 10 days after submitting an application.

Swim for Fitness
The Swim for Fitness program was designed by the American Red Cross for individuals who prefer swimming as a means of staying fit. This program should provide sufficient exercise to significantly improve the strength and endurance of regular participants. Progress charts for Swim for Fitness participants are posted at the CCRB, NCRB and IMSB. Mark a small square for every 1/4 mile you swim. When starting this program you may swim the first three miles in quarter-mile segments, pausing occasionally to rest. All remaining miles must be swum in quarter-mile units without stopping. All swimmers are encouraged to begin with an easy program and build gradually to a more strenuous one. Miles that you swim elsewhere may also be counted. Mileage goals must be completed within the academic year (September 1 - August 31).

Mileage certificates will be awarded for swimming 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200, 250, 300, 350, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1,000 mile increments. When you have reached a specific mileage goal, please fill out the lower portion of Swim for Fitness form and submit it to the CCRB, NCRB or IMSB main business office. Swim for Fitness certificates may be picked up 10 days after submitting an application.
