Shape Up RI, a statewide exercise and weight loss challenge, is now holding registration for its 2011 Challenge. Registration begins on December 13, 2010 and the Challenge will begin on Monday, Feb. 7, 2011.
Shape Up RI was founded by Rajiv Kumar, a Brown Medical Student, who believes that teamwork and peer support are important factors in helping people live healthier lives. Over the past five years, his campaign has encouraged Rhode Islanders to increase their physical activity and seek out better nutrition in their effort to pursue a healthy lifestyle. Challenge participants become part of a team and work together to track their weight, exercise hours, fruit and vegetable consumption, and/or steps taken over a designated period of time. The Spring Challenge lasts for 12 weeks and the Summer Shape Up RI challenge lasts for 8 weeks.
