| Healthy Team Recap |
 Treadmills were buzzing in Griffin Hospital's Cardiac Rehab Lab, where Healthy Team participants received their screening and fitness evaluation. All participants stopped by the lab on Monday, February 28th and Wednesday, March 2nd to find out where their health ranked and what they can do to improve throughout the competition.
Those who participated were weighed, gave blood to test cholesterol, and walked briskly for a mile while their heart rates were monitored, which determined their cardiovascular capacity. Click here for more details, picture and video from the Healthy Team Pre-Test. |
