6. Kesäkuntoon 2022
Summer is approaching and for the third year in a row, it’s time to get back into healthy habits! Kesäkuntoon is a phrase loosely translated to “summer fitness”, used in the context of getting fit for summer. The four weeks long event is a type of friendly competition between different teams and also between the guilds TiK vs. PT!
In the competition as you complete small life and health improving tasks you’ll collect points for your own team and guild. At the end of the campaign the best teams and the better guild will be rewarded!
“But!” I hear you saying, “I’m not athletic? What do you mean ‘summer fitness’? I can’t even walk up the stairs without getting out of breath!” Well, fear not! For as many points as can be gathered through sports and fitness, you can gather just as many from things that have nothing to do with moving your body, like sleeping or meditating!
Are you ready to turn your life around?
Join the official Telegram chat of the competition to take part in the competition and to get more info and tips: https://t.me/+4ggBtMfTgv9iODY8
