A Fitness Challenge
Oct 4th, 2008 by Alicia
The kids and I are all going to get serious about daily physical exercise and we’re using The President’s Challenge to give us a kick start. The goal is 60 minutes a day of activity (30 for adults), at least 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. We can also use pedometers some days, and log steps instead (minimum 11,000 steps for the girls or 8,500 for me).
Activities include walking, skateboarding, swimming, jumping on the trampoline, biking, yoga, gardening, playing children’s games and many more.
We can track our progress online or print out their charts. The kids’ computer is down at the moment so we’ll probably go for the paper trail at least now.
At the end of the challenge, we can order (for a small fee!) certificates, badges and such. I think it will be well worth it.
Anyone else up for a challenge?
