WALK to the moon.
An innovative competition is
spurring people to become fitter
and healthier by challenging
them to walk to the moon.
Beginning last October, the
Race to the Moon competition is
sponsored by health insurance
company HealthAmerica and pits
competitors against each other
and themselves to see who runs
or walks to the “moon” (around
432,000kms or 624m steps) first.
The free to enter competition
provides competitors with a
pedometer to track their progress
and offers weekly prizes and
incentives, as well as a grand
prize of a holiday in Hawaii.
“Since the Race to the Moon
officially kicked off in mid-
October, participants have
walked or run more than 89,000
miles, more than a third of the
way to the moon,” said
competition spokesperson, Scott
Rotermund.
“With three more months to
go in the program, we look
forward to seeing just how far
people can go,” he added.
CRAM it all in and procrastinate
no more.
A US dietary supplement
company, Genius Labs, is hoping
to rid university libraries and
dorm rooms of procrastination,
with the creation of its Cram it!
supplement.
According to the company the
supplement is “designed to help
college students cram through
their coursework as quickly and
effectively as possible”.
Interestingly, as part of its
marketing, the company released
figures that estimate around 80-
95% of uni students procrastinate
when it comes to studying and
completing assignments.
“Procrastination will always be
an issue for many students, but
Cram It! can help make waiting
until the last minute a lot easier,”
the company said.
