The Crim Training Program

April 2, 2002

Flint, MI- Do you want to get in shape, lose weight and lead a more healthy, active lifestyle- but don't know how to get started? Or do you want to improve your running Speed? Whatever your motivation, the Crim Training Program, now in it's seventh year, is just the thing you need. Last year over 350 individuals, many non-exercisers, participated in this unique program that is tailored to your fitness ability and needs.

The Crim Training Program begins April 30 and is sponsored by Hurley Health & Fitness Center and WJRT-Channel 12. This program is based on the 15-week training regimen designed by Jeff Galloway, wellness consultant, noted author, former Olympic athlete and trainer. Galloway's low impact program combines running with walking breaks and requires less than two additional hours of exercise beyond the weekly training group meetings.

Depending on your ability and needs, this program offers three different programs to chose from: One for the beginner 5K (3.1 miles) or 8K 94.8 miles) runner, one for the beginner 10-Mile runner and one for the 1-Mile runner who wants to improve their speed.

For those individuals who are not quite ready to run but who want to start a healthy lifestyle, the Crim Training Program is now offering a Walking Program. Groups will meet at venues around Genesee County throughout the summer months and enjoy all of the other features and benefits of the other levels of the program. The goal of this program is to complete the Crim 5K or 8K- Walks.

All participants will receive: an entry to a Crim event of your choice, an optional health screening provided by Hurley Health & Fitness Center, a copy of one of Galloway's books, a "training for the Crim" T-shirt or tank top, nutritional and motivation clinics, and much more.

The cost for the Crim Training Program is $120 individually and $200 ($100 each) for those who sign up with a friend. The deadline is April 19, and space is limited. For an application or more information, please call the Crim office at 810-235-3396.
