The free program consists of 5 parts and is designed for first through sixth-grade students. Through the program, each participating student receives a bracelet. Upon completion of each fitness challenge, the student is given a Caps logo charm. The challenges include pushups, sit ups, jumping jacks, mile run and body squats to reinforce the importance of exercise and physical fitness and motivate students to live a healthier lifestyle.
