The challenge is being run as a pilot program, in the hope that it may be refined and expanded to include participants from outside of the ANU next year. It provides a structured, appealing framework for staff and postgraduate students of the ANU to make the transition from motorised commuting to cycling to-and-from campus. 30 volunteer participants are taking part in the challenge, which commenced on Saturday 29 September. The group represents a range of ages (19-57), professional/academic backgrounds and members of both sexes. Despite the diversity within the group, the participants have a shared interest in shifting to a more active, healthy and sustainable lifestyle.  Key Features of the program include:  Weekly exercise sessions conducted by a professional trainer; Additional exercise, nutrition and sustainable lifestyle information; Friendly competition with prize incentives; Quantified feedback of fitness improvements; Team-building and generating new peer networks   Participants will follow a 10 week fitness program which involves a progressive substitution of motorised commuting with cycling. It is also intended to equip them with the know-how to develop and maintain a safe and effective, individualised exercise regime. As much of the exercise will be performed while commuting, it can actually be more time efficient than driving and exercising independently. It can also be easily incorporated into existing lifestyle patterns. In addition to exercise training, participants are given instruction in rider safety and bike maintenance. Follow the progress of the challenge participants in the meet the participants section. We would like to thank Simon Dwyer and Lyndsey Vivian from the Tuggeranong Vikings Cycling Club for volunteering their time to run the rider safety session.   < Prev         GGGL Cycling is Proudly Supported By:
