Anybody interested in captaining a GET-FIT postdoc team?
If so, please be in touch with Janet (by return email)!

We are writing to let you know about a new 
program that can help members of your department 
beat the winter doldrums, build team spirit, 
boost morale, win prizes, and, best of all, keep 
those New Year’s resolutions to get into shape.

Getfit at mit is a 12-week, team-oriented fitness 
challenge sponsored by MIT Medical, the MIT 
Health Plans, the Center for Health Promotion and 
Wellness, and Web Communication Services. Teams 
of five to eight members can sign up online now 
at http://getfit.mit.edu. A kick-off event will 
be held at the Z-Center at noon on January 4, 
2005, and the challenge will begin the following 
week. At the end of March, the team with the 
highest average number of minutes exercised over 
the course ! of the challenge will win a grand 
prize--not to mention substantial bragging 
rights--but everyone who participates will have 
opportunities to win team and individual awards. 
Of course, better health and fitness may be the 
best prize of all.

Complete information, rules, and team sign-up are 
available at http://getfit.mit.edu.

Attached to this email is a poster (PDF format) 
with information about getfit at mit. We’d 
appreciate it if you could print out several 
copies and hang them up around your department 
(they look best printed in color, but black and 
white is okay, too). We’ve also attached a team 
sign-up form (MS Word format) people can use to 
organize teams prior to signing up on-line.

If you have questions or want color copies of the 
poster sent to you through interoffice mail, 
contact Deirdre Neylon 
(<mailto:neyl at med.mit.edu>neyl at med.mit.edu) or 
Katherine Wahl 
(<mailto:wahl at med.mit.edu>wahl at med.mit.edu) at 
MIT Medical.

Get ready. Get set. Get fit!
