Healthy Team

Building a healthier lifestyle!

Alexis Tomczak of PerkinElmer is making a habit of improving her and her partner's health by competing in and winning the Corporate Cup Healthy Team Event. Last year she paired with Kyle McClune for a seven point win while accumulating 95 total points. This year she and husband David did better earning 104 total points, but had an even closer race as Griffin Hospital's Zach Kiley and Patty Corrent also made it to triple digits with exactly 100 points. Birmingham Group Health Services came in third with their team of Tracey Cafasso and Katie Bratz. That was 2 points better than Shelia Winslow and Judy Grennon of Griffin. Birmingham placed another team in the top five with Cory Sells and Cindy Dubuque.

We congratulate the winners and everyone who competed as they are all winners in improving their health and developing a healthy life style!

The Corporate Cup “Healthy Team” event is designed to promote your healthy lifestyle changes while allowing your company to receive recognition for encouraging these changes. As an added benefit, each Healthy Team participant receives a three-month membership (a $178.50 value) to the Valley YMCA for the duration of the Healthy Team competition.

Guidelines:

Have all forms completed prior to arriving for the pre-test on February 25, or February 27.

Each participating company will choose the desired number of two-person teams to participate in this event. Points will be awarded for certain healthy behaviors and for measured, positive physical changes, and for participating in other healthy events scheduled throughout the three-month competition. The key to choosing those participants “most likely to succeed” in this event is to find those who are the most highly-motivated to make healthy lifestyle changes.

There are six requirements for each team member to participate:

1.)   A written physician's consent is required for each participant prior to the initial screening.

2.)   Each participant must go through an initial health screening and a final health screening. Refrain from eating for one hour prior to testing.

 3.)  Each Healthy Team must participate in at least one additional Corporate Cup event.

 4.)  Each participant must exercise three times weekly for a minimum of 30 minutes. An exercise diary will be provided at the pre-test. Participants are permitted to exercise at their own gym or fitness facility.

5.)  Each participant must participate in at least one Healthy Meal and maintain a food diary for a minimum of three consecutive days each month for the duration of the event. A food diary will be provided at the pre-test.

6.)  Each participant must complete a Participant Contract, to be submitted at post-testing.

Healthy Team
Physical Fitness Evaluation


All Healthy Team participants are required to have a health screening prior to and upon completion of the event. Participants will be screened for blood pressure, weight, body fat content, blood cholesterol and HDL. The blood testing procedure will be conducted at Griffin Hospital. A step-test will be used to determine cardiovascular fitness. Points will be awarded for improvements in these tested areas. Extra points will also be awarded for additional lifestyle modifications. Please see Healthy Team Bonus Points for details.

Post-test Requirements: All paperwork (photocopies, diaries, etc.) must be submitted at the post-test. No faxes or late submissions will be accepted.
