Kick It Up Instructions

Instructions for Sauk Kick It Up a Notch Program

“Kick It Up a Notch” Program is an individual goal setting program that motivates
participants to achieve a measurable goal by the end of the designated time frame (i.e.
weight loss, reduction in BMI, prepare to run a 5k or 10k race, marathon or triathlon event).
There is a $5 participation fee for this program.

Each participant is required to complete the attached agreement with the designated goal
and time frame for completion as well as provide a check made out to the College in any
amount between $50 and $500.

The agreement and check are placed in an envelope provided, sealed and placed in the
Business Office vault for safekeeping. The outside of the envelope should indicate the
deadline for the designated goal.

The participant’s envelope will be opened on the designated deadline date and a
determination will be made whether or not he/she has achieved their goal.

IF THE GOAL IS ACHIEVED, the participant receives their check back and an
award for completing their goal.

IF THE GOAL IS NOT ACHIEVED, the Wellness Committee will distribute the
amount of the check to local charities within the SVCC district.

Considerations:

All measurements of weight or BMI will be made at the beginning and the end of the
designated time frame in the College Fitness Center by the Fitness Center staff. Failure
to comply with this requirement disqualifies the participant in the Kick It Up a Notch
program and results in a forfeiture of the check.

If the measurable goal is to prepare/train for an upcoming event (i.e. marathon, triathlon,
etc.) then the deadline should be scheduled for after the date of the designated event so the
Wellness Committee can determine if the goal has been met.

Only the participant, Fitness Center staff (if measurements are needed) and two designated
members of the Wellness Committee will have knowledge of the information on the signed
agreement and check.

As much as the Wellness Committee wishes to acknowledge the accomplishments of a job
well done, we respect the right of the participant to not share this information with any other
employee or general public without their consent.
