Three semesters ago, the Sigma Alpha Delta Honor Society promoted the Mister and Miss Baruch Fitness Competition. Since it was a great success, Sigma Alpha has decided to once again stage the competition. This time around, the fitness competition will be held on Nov. 16 during club hours in the Baruch Fitness Center.
The competition encompasses a variety of activities including push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, dips, bench press and endurance, as well as speed and agility. Students should be advised that the United States Marine Corps will be in attendance to administer their Physical Fitness Test, which will not only boost the moral of participants but will also earn them valuable prizes. For all the skill areas, the winning competitor of each gender will earn a trophy. Trophies will also be awarded to the winner of each overall category.
The strategy to employ in approaching the fitness competition is to:
ü Endeavor to place in the top five in all events.
ü Participate in all events.
ü Focus on good form in all events. If two competitors posses equal ability, the one with the superior form is more likely to prevail.
ü Remember, it is not a bodybuilding competition, and it definitely is not weight lifting, except the bench press.
ü Try to ascertain from early on what events will be held and find your personal records in time for the competition.
The reigning champions in the fitness competition are Lionel "Leo" Wynter and Andrea Sauciuc. This event promises to be a knockout, so prospective participants are asked to arrive early. For further information contact the organizer of the event, Elman Isakov, at the Baruch Fitness Center or at xelmanx@gmail.com.
You should remember that you do not have to win any of the events to win the competition. It will be an experience of a lifetime and you may discover that you have skills that neither you nor anyone else knew about.
Finally, make sure you throw your support behind our bodybuilders: Dwayne Yetman, Jason Prager, Reggie Torchon, Wascar Palono, David S. and Eric Ma as they compete against Rutgers University in the Rutgers Invitational Body Building competition on Dec. 2.
