#GETActive30 Goal
Our BIG goal for this challenge is to create a habit of completing one physical activity every day in striving to live an active lifestyle. An additional goal is to learn more about fitness and nutrition to help guide you in your new active lifestyle. Here is how you will do this:
- Complete your physical activity or sport every day
- One activity for at least 30 minutes
- Once completed let us know by sharing your activity
- Post on the wall of our GET Active 30 Day Challenge Facebook Group
- Tweet your activity via twitter using the hashtag #GETActive30
- Get to know your fellow participants
- Each day check the Facebook Group wall and comment on the posts of your fellow participants
- Reply to or Retweet posts from others taking the challenge via twitter (hashtag #GETActive30)
- Ask questions and get help by posting on the Facebook Group wall
- Track your progress! There is nothing like seeing what you have accomplished. If you haven’t done well in completing daily activities, then use the info you tracked as motivation. When you subscribe to our #GETActive30 newsletter you get the following:
- #GETActive30 checklist to keep you on track
- Ideas for physical activities
- Tips for exercising
- Links to resources from fitness and nutrition experts
- Have fun and take it one day at a time! Don’t worry if you miss a day, or if you didn’t start/accept the challenge on the 1st day (or even the 1st week). Just get in where you fit in and GET Active!
