Ole Miss Campus Recreation Encourages Students To Stay Fit Over Holidays

The Turner Center, a recreational facility at the University of Mississippi is hosting a Holiday Weight Challenge sponsored by Healthworks and Campus Recreation. The challenge is open to all students, faculty and members of the Turner Center. The overall goal of the challenge is for you to maintain your current weight throughout the holiday season.

The first sets of weigh-ins were on Nov. 15-18 and final weigh-ins will be on Jan. 3- 6. Prizes will be given for those who complete the challenge over the longest period of time and to the best of their ability.

“This event will give students an incentive to make smart eating decisions and workout over the holiday breaks from school,” said Jenn Hall, Turner Center Fitness Grad Assistant.

Try not to be one of the average Americans who gains up to seven pounds this holiday season. Be sure to use portion control and remain active throughout the holidays. By doing this you will have a healthier and happier holiday season through the New Year!
