A free eight-week, team-based health program will launch May 2, aiming to help participants increase physical activity and improve eating habits.

Called FitEx, registration is open now through May 1.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting all of our lives, FitEx is a great program to help connect us virtually to our family, friends, co-workers and teammates through healthy competition, said Denise Smith, University of Wyoming Extension educator.

To register, visit http://fitex1.cs.vt.edu/#/register and select your county. Participants can create a team of five (friends, family or co-workers) and select a team captain and name.

Participants set goals for how many miles a team will finish in eight weeks. A FitEx mile is equal to 1 mile walking or running or any 15-minute bout of moderate physical activity, such as an aerobics class. Teams will also set goals for how many cups of fruits and vegetables they will eat during the eight weeks.

Participants can sign in to FitEx at http://www.fit-ex.org starting May 2 to log the number of miles and cups of fruits and vegetables eaten every day or once a week.

Teams can view the FitEx tracking charts to see the progress toward their goals and comparisons to other teams across Wyoming.

The team environment and the online tracking helps participants achieve their goals throughout the eight-week competition, said Smith.

Facebook posts, newsletters, feedback, competition for motivation and prizes for the winning team are part of the program.

Residents are encouraged to speak with a healthcare provider if they have questions about safe and appropriate activities for you and/or your team members. Contact the research team at program@fit-ex.org to discuss any needs for yourself or a team member.

Smith said she can be contacted if someone would like to compete but cant find enough members for a team of five. For more information, contact Smith at desmith@uwyo.edu.
