The Concept
SHAPE's 'Challenge Board' will push you physically and mentally and integrate speed, agility, power, strength, endurance and anaerobic exercises. Be prepared to have FUN pushing yourself while engaging in friendly competition!
- new challenges are posted periodically with prizes for top scores
- you are encouraged to test yourself against the challenge at both the start and end of the period
- challenges should be repeated in 12 - 16 week increments to measure your improvements
