Austin Community College District (ACC) employees are invited to participate with their colleagues in a couple of friendly exercise competitions.

2021 Exercise Stars
Registration for the annual Exercise Stars exercise incentive program, hosted by ACC Human Resources, is now open.

Participants will:

• Set an exercise/activity goal and sign up for their fitness level.
• Start exercising and log minutes each week on a campus spreadsheet.
• Be part of their campus' Exercise Stars team to contribute to your campus' total exercise minutes to help win 'The Most Active Campus' competition.
• Receive tip sheets and motivational messages periodically during the program.
• Watch their minutes add up and fitness improve.
• Stay connected with their peers through virtual check-ins and enjoy exercising with their fellow Riverbats.
• Win a prize if they reach their activity goal for the 10 weeks. This year's prize is wireless earbuds.

Employees will receive official challenge rules and instructions upon registration and can sign up here through Monday, February 10.

Get Fit Texas Challenge
ACC faculty and staff are also eligible to participate in the Get Fit Texas Challenge and represent the college on the statewide level.

This 10-week challenge is open to all state agencies and higher education institutions. The goal for Get Fit Texas is to log 150 minutes a week of movement for six out of 10 weeks. It has already started, but it's not too late to sign up. The challenge runs through March 21.

Find out more about this challenge and register through www.getfittexas.org. We hope you'll sign up to represent ACC on the statewide level as well.
