LIVE FOR LIFE, Duke's employee wellness program, is sponsoring Shape Up Duke, a 12-week exercise competition that features teams of faculty and staff going up against other teams at Duke to see who walks the most steps, loses the most weight or exercises the most minutes. Registration lasts from Dec. 14 to Jan. 22. The competition begins Jan. 11.
To take part, faculty and staff are invited to form teams of five to 11 co-workers. After registering, each participant receives a package with a digital pedometer, exercise and results logbook and Shape Up Duke wristband in Duke blue. Participants also receive a pass for up to five free visits to selected local fitness facilities.
