During times of quarantine and social distancing due to COVID-19, it can be difficult to find the motivation to exercise. Therefore, the Wellness Bingo Competition was created as a fun, engaging way to get all AASuccess members to start exercising and taking care of their physical and mental health.
- Timeline: May 2020 – June 2020
- Key Members: A team of students consisting of Daniel Nguyen, McKenzie Tran, Jenna Buffenbarger, and Colby Pham led the project.
- Goal: The goal of the fitness bingo board is to provide AASuccess students and mentors with a collection of different exercises and activities to boost their physical and mental health, while also engaging in a friendly competition with fellow peers during quarantine.
- How: All participating AASuccess members and friends were split into different groups. For an entire month, a bingo board was released each week containing 25 different exercises and activities that emphasized a healthy lifestyle. Each team member worked individually to complete the bingo board, gaining points for their team along the way.
- Result-To-Date: After four weeks of intense exercising and competition, the winning team emerged, consisting of AASuccess members Wendy, Nguyen, Cho Kiu, Vihanh, and Nam. From this project, everyone gained a large collection of new, exciting activities to try at home, motivated one another to practice healthy habits in their everyday lives, and pushed one another to exercise every week together.
