OBPD Fitness Group Update and Open Invitation


The Second in our series of Thursday Challenges was another tough test. Here are a couple action shots from the beginning of the workout. Everyone that began the Challenge was able to complete it in under 30 minutes.
Since we began the fitness program in March every participant has seen gains in just about every aspect of fitness from strength to endurance. Several participants have also seen significant physical changes. Not only have we added the more difficult Thursday Challenges, some of you may have noticed the W.O.D.S have become a little more challenging as well. In an effort to continue seeing improved results we need to continue to push ourselves. Every one's desire to better themselves and the camaraderie that is built with group workouts has encouraged several more people to participate. We want to thank everyone for allowing this program to be as successful as it has been. With all that being said the Fitness Group would like to extend an open invitation for any member of the Village to join us. The Cage is FREE, workouts are posted daily, as well as, nutritional tips and healthy recipes.
We are currently working on setting up another Base-Line Test at the Oak Brook Park District in the near future. The Base-Line Test consists of a one minute max push ups test, one minute max sit ups test, vertical leap test, 300m sprint, and 1.5 mile run. We also take your height, weight, and calculate your Body Fat and Body Mass Index. All tests are optional and voluntary. The results are kept privately by you for your reference. We encourage you to participate in as many phases as you can to better gauge your fitness, health, and wellness. This will also allow you to compare your results after participating in the program. If you have any questions regarding the Fitness Group please contact a member of the Fitness Committee (SGT King, PTL Wood, PTL G Peterson, PTL Franczak, and DET Yager.)
Congrats to all and keep up the good work!!!
