TSBP Rounds Up!

Each year, leading up to the Texas Round-Up 10K-5K-Family Mile and Fitness Festival in Austin, Texas, Governor Perry challenges Texans to complete at least six weeks of physical activity. For adults, 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week (or any combination of 150 minutes a week) for 6 weeks is all it takes to complete the program. Children 18 and under need a bit more activity: 60 minutes a day, five days a week, (or any combination of 300 minutes a week) for 6 weeks.

This year, for the first time, TSBP is rounding up in a BIG way! We have 41 participants - more than two third's participation from the agency. To promote friendly competition internally, the challengers are divided into two teams - the TSBP Blue Stars and the TSBP Red Stripes. Many took on the challenge because it was a great opportunity to stay fit and active. The program kick off on February 16 was well-attended and after the breakfast presentation on the Texas Round Up, over 30 participants registered immediately. Over the next few weeks, more agency members took on the challenge.

Stay tuned for more updates! In the meantime, track our progress in the Challenge standings.
