Registration open for Biggest Loser Boot Camp

Visiting scholar, Huang Li, from Huaxia University in Xiamen, China teaches tai chi for the fitness center on Jan. 20, 2016, in DSC. Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that, today, is practiced as a graceful form of exercise. It involves a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner and accompanied by deep breathing.

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock will host a Biggest Loser Boot Camp from Sept. 4 to Oct. 20 for UA Little Rock students, employees, and members of the Fitness and Aquatics Center. 

During the seven-week challenge, participants will participate in at least three fitness classes and weigh in each week. Prizes will be awarded to the biggest losers of the week. Additionally, participants can compete in bi-weekly exercise challenges where they can win prizes. The person who loses the largest overall percentage of body fat at the end of the boot camp will be the grand prize winner.
