Great in 2008

What is it?

CSUSB Recreational Sports is now offering a new fitness program designed to keep you active all year round. With our new program, staying in shape isn’t work anymore, but an experience! The purpose of this program is to give participants the opportunity to experience a wide variety of fitness programs that Recreational Sports offers. It is completely your choice as to which programs you participate in and our staff will be available to assist you in finding the ones you enjoy most. This program is an individual challenge that you will set based on your personal goals. To help motivate you along the way, we will offer Life Points as incentives for your participation. Every program that Rec Sports offers will issue Life Points for those participating in the Great in '08 challenge.

How does this program work?

Great in 2008 will begin on January 7th. Sign-ups will start as of January 2nd and will continue throughout the remainder of the Winter and Spring quarters. Anyone is welcome to join at any time! When you sign up, you will receive a Feeling Great Information Packet. Included in this packet will be information about the various activities that Recreational Sports offers and their given Life Point values. This packet will also include information about redeeming your Life Points. All Life Points will be turned into the Front Desk in the SRFC.

Participants are encouraged to go at their own pace and set individual short term and long term goals for what they hope to accomplish within this program.
