County Office of Education Fitness Challenge General Information

This year’s Fitness Challenge has been taken to the next level. Not only are we being challenged individually and from our team, but now we are joining forces and challenging other county offices. Joining the challenge this year are Stanislaus and Tuolumne County Office of Education.

The "Fitness Challenge," which is completely voluntary, is open to ALL San Joaquin COE staff and students of San Joaquin COE programs and services. The idea behind the challenge is to have a fun, yet competitive activity with a healthy focus. While there is no obligation or expectation for anyone to participate -- for those who do -- we promise a great time! Here's a quick rundown of how the challenge works.

• Participants form a team

• Each team has a minimum of five people - there is no maximum

• Each team selects a team captain and a team name

• At the end of each week team members input their points on-line each Monday

by 5:00 p.m. • Challenge runs February 4 – March 2

TEAM CAPTAIN Duties:

Attend the Team Captain Meeting set for 1/28 at 9:30 a.m. in the Boardroom.

Send the Team Roster (Include name, department, and email address of participants)/Team Name to [email protected] by 2/1/08.

Distribute Materials to team, review process, and introduce them to Inside SJCOE’s Fitness Challenge section.

Schedule a date and time to have your team photo taken with Jacqueline Montelongo.

Scoring: Individuals must submit his or her own point totals online each Monday by 5:00 p.m. The system will track and average each team’s and team members’ points earned on a weekly basis.

RULES You may multiply points in a given day. For example, 32 oz. of water is worth one point. If you drink 64 oz. of water in one day you can receive two points for that day. However, you cannot receive a 1/2-point or round up. So if you drink 48 oz of water – that is still only one point. Maximum points for water this year is two points per day or 64 oz. You cannot “Double dip” points. You cannot receive points for a Spinning class plus riding a stationary bike or points for riding the stationary bike plus taking an exercise class. You must select one category or the other. Weight loss, inches, and body fat are BEGINNING to END calculations only. You cannot lose two pounds one week, earn the points, put the weight back on and then lose it again. Points in those areas will only be scored on the last day of the competition. Moving: This is considered heavy house or yard work. You may not earn points during work hours. However, points may be earned during breaks throughout the workday. For example, if you use your lunch break to go for a walk, you may earn points. However, if you are walking to the Nelson Center from the ESC, you may not use it to accrue points. Or if you work as a PE teacher, or have someone on your team who does, points cannot be earned during work time. Remember, this competition is designed to raise awareness, and to help people embark on a healthy lifestyle. Mountain biking and Road biking separated! Please note riding your mountain bike on the road is road biking. The reason these were separated out was several people felt that the rough terrain of mountain biking and the increase in hills makes it a more difficult sport or harder to get the same amount of miles in the same time. BONUS POINTS Bonus points are the only exception to double dipping. If you eat nine servings of fruits and vegetables you get one point for the five fruits and veggies and three bonus points for eating nine. If you eat 10 servings you get two points for your daily intake and three points for eating more than nine. Keep in mind that fried vegetables don’t count. The overall top scoring County Office of Education will be awarded a perpetual trophy the first week in March at the COE with the highest points.

County Office of Education Fitness Challenge FAQ’s

Q: How do I calculate my team's weekly average and how many decimal places should I turn

in for our team average?

A: The computer will automatically calculate this information for you. However, if you would like to

calculate it yourself use two decimal places. Calculate by adding all team members’ weekly totals together and then dividing by the total number of people on your team. For example: You have 9 people on your team, for Week 1 they each earned the following amount of points 54, 90, 103, 45, 75, 55, 150, 25, 68, add those together giving you a weekly team total of 665, then divide by 9, and enter the average 73.88 on the "register and enter points" page.

Q: Can I earn points for a ‘sanctioned competition’ as well as points for exercising during

that competition?

A: Yes. The sanctioned competition points are bonus points. However, they may only be counted

one time if a meet or tournament lasts more than one day. Also, when counting your points for participating it must be for the amount of time you are actually playing. If you are on the bench during the basketball or football game those minutes cannot go towards your 30 minutes of an active sport. You can count your warm up activities as part of the time.

Q: Can I "round up" for my exercise time and fruits and vegetable servings?

A: There is no rounding on times or servings.

Q: Can I count half points or partial point values?

A: NO! You must complete the entire time to get the entire point value. If you jog or walk for 1.5

miles, that is NOT 1.5 points. You must make it up to 2 miles to get two points. If you jog for 2.8 miles it is still only 2 points. Take those extra few steps to get to 3 miles and 3 points.

Q: If I do a 30 minutes cardio, Yoga or Pilates workout every morning, is this more than 1

point?

A: If you add 10 more minutes to your 30 minutes workout you can claim a total of 2 points (1 point

for each 20 minutes). With exercise you can double your points if you double the workout time or distance.

Q: Does attending the lunch presentation on wellness count as one point?

A: Yes, team members who attend wellness presentations can claim one point. Place the point in

the “Attend a mental well being class or counseling session" row.

Page 2

Q: I understand that there are trace amounts of caffeine in decaffeinated beverages? If I

switch to decaf will this count?

A: Yes, you can claim a point for not having caffeine if you drink decaffeinated beverages.

Q: I would like to substitute reading a 1000 word wellness article with watching a POD cast

health and wellness show? Is this allowed?

A: Yes, if the show has a speaker that speaks for at least 15 minutes.

Q: Is golf considered an active sport or recreational sport? If I walk the golf course while

playing 18 holes can I claim miles walked points too?

A: Golf is a recreational sport and for each hour of golf you can claim 1point. You cannot "double

dip" points. You cannot receive points for golfing and walking. You must select one category or the other.

Q: I played golf - 18 holes - and used a cart. Do I claim walking points?

A: You can earn 1 point in the Recreation Sport Section. No double dipping.

Q: If we have 10 fruits or vegetables in a day would we get the following for points? Two

points for 10 servings and 3 bonus points for the 9 servings for a total of 5 pts.

A: Refer to the Point Chart – Five fruits or vegetables ** 1 day = 1 point (can eat 10 servings to

double points to 2 points plus can qualify for bonus below for a total of 5 points. Bonus: 9 fruits and vegetables on 1 day = 3 points.

Q: If we eat 9 fruits/vegetables, do we get the original point and plus the 3 bonus points?

A: Yes, for a total of 4 points.

Q: Can tea, coffee or diet Pepsi or flavors added to water count as water?

A: No, just water may count for water.

Q: Can I count propel, sugar free flavored water, green tea, or decaf coffee as part of my 32

oz of water? A: No, water is just water with nothing added. (A fresh lemon or lime wedge is fine.)

Q: Do mental health articles count as wellness articles?

A: Yes, any articles that assist with holistic health and well being counts.

Page 3

Q: Do self-help or self-inspiration books count?

A: Yes, see answer to question above.

Q: Does a "nutrition bar" that has sugar listed in the ingredients considered okay in the "No

refined sugar" category, or do we strictly watch ingredient list of all food products to make sure it has no sugar in it at all? Are sugar-substitutes, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, honey, maple syrup, etc considered "refined sugar" or is the regular processed white sugar the only thing considered "refined sugar"? A: A nutrition bar is considered okay. Regarding "refined sugar," only "sugar" you give up includes

desserts, sugared cereal, sweet breads like muffins, sugar added to coffee or fruit. Sugar substitutes are okay.

Q: If I use Splenda in my coffee or to sweeten my fruit can I still have a point for "no refined

sugar"? A: Yes, you can. Low calorie 'sugar substitutes' does not count as refined sugar.

Q: Is trail mix that has chocolate pieces in it considered 'junk food' or 'candy'?

A: Use your best judgment, but we have decided this will not count against you. If you are using trail

mix as a small healthy snack you can still get your points for no ‘junk food’.
