TARGETING FITNESS

GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPANTS AND SUPERVISORS

Dear Participant,

Welcome to the Targeting Fitness program. During this six-month period, you will improve your health and quality of life. Studies show that personnel who stay fit, enjoy improved morale, greater productivity, and less sick time.

No matter what your current fitness level may be, this program is designed to accommodate your needs. Weekly health education classes give you the latest update on nutrition, stress management, cardiovascular disease risks, weight control, and fitness. Attendance at these classes is highly encouraged since they help you achieve your fitness goals.

For most people, starting a very basic exercise program is safe. If you start gradually, there should be little if any muscle soreness. However, if you answer "yes" to any of the questions on the Health History Questionnaires, or if it has been a while since you were active on a regular basis, or you are a man over 40 or a woman over 50, you must get medical clearance before you can participate in the program.

Congratulations for taking the first step towards a healthier you. We hope this will be more than just a six-month trial program for you. We want you to be Fit for Life. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions or comments.

  Fitness is the Ticket!!!
