Fitness Together in Wilmington, NC is excited to announce an FT Cardio Challenge:  Cardio Race to the Capitol!  Why are we headed to the Capitol?  Because Washington, D.C. is the fittest city in the United States, according to The American Fitness Index.  With an exercies rate of 80.1% and an obesity rate of just 22.6%, Washington, D.C.  It scores high on almost every measure of fitness, whether it’s bicycling commuters, farmers’ markets or recreation centers.  

Washington D.C. is America’s “fittest city”, but that doesn’t mean that we all can’t be Commanders in Chief of our own personal fitness!  Join us for a fun cardio challenge we’ve designed to take you from your house to The White House.  Vote for your own fitness. Campaign for your health on the cardio trail from Wilmington to the Capitol.  Elect to put yourself on the cardio machines more often.  While you’re at it, win cool prizes while taking your “confidence” poll ratings to their highest levels ever!

Our capitol is just 366 miles from the Wilmington airport to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and you can get there with 45 cardio workouts.  One 30-minute cardio session will cover 8.1 miles, getting you that much closer to being the Commander in Chief of your own personal fitness.

Every time you complete one 30-minute cardio session, the FT trainers will move you forward one stop on the map.  When you reach the milestone cities of Raleigh and Richmond, you will receive free bonus training sessions (1 free session for making it to Raleigh and 2 sessions when you reach Richmond)!  The first person to make it to Washington will receive a grand prize gift certificate to a local sporting goods shop for a new pair of running shoes ($120), a facial or full body treatment, an FT T-shirt, and 1 day of custom fit meals.
