Benefits: Besides starting a healthy habit, all participants that successfully complete the challenge will be entered in a raffle in which 2 winners will receive a $25 gift certificate to Garden Patch Market.
- The Challenge starts on Thursday, March 1 and ends on Wednesday, March 28.
- The goal for the first week is 30 minutes of daily exercise; thereafter, 40 minutes/day for week 2, 50 minutes/day for week 3 and 60 minutes/day for week 4.
- All minutes must be done in at least 15 minute increments of sustained exercise. This means you MUST STAY MOVING FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AT A TIME TO HAVE IT COUNT. You can switch from one activity to the next within that time, but it must be sustained exercise.
- ANY exercise counts: walking, push ups, jump roping, biking, trampoline bouncing, weight lifting, etc.
