Get Ready, Get Fit! A Transplant Athletics Program of the National Kidney Foundation THE PROGRAM Get Ready, Get Fit! is a free program presented by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) in conjunction with the President’s Council on Fitness to encourage health and fitness among transplant recipients involved with the U.S. and World Transplant Games. The National Get Ready, Get Fit! program will aid you in developing a fitness plan, setting achievable activity goals, and allow you to track your progress in preparing for the Games. By joining the National Get Ready! Get Fit! Group, you will also be able to compare your progress with other participants training for the Games across the country! Anyone, including family members and friends, can participate in the program; however, only transplant athletes who qualify will receive awards. Even if you do not qualify for a Presidential Challenge award, it is a great way to demonstrate that transplantation works, to improve your athletic skills for the Games, and most importantly, to improve your own health and well-being. Note: Be sure to consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. |
