National Women’s Health Week and WOMAN Challenge
|
Since this is National Women’s Health Week I’m going to make some of my posts related to it this week.
I decided to try the ‘WOMAN Challenge’ too! I mentioned this in my last post. The goal or ‘challenge’ is to try to walk 10,000 steps or get 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day. It lasts for 8 weeks. And you ‘walk’ a virtual path across the U.S. as you do it.
It was supposed to start Sunday, on Mother’s Day, but since I was out of town visiting I wasn’t able to walk much. I did get out my pedometer and got it working right (I hadn’t really used it yet although I’ve had it for a while). As it was later in the day I was only able to get about 800 steps counted on it. That should make it easier to improve over the next 8 weeks!
The Challenge has teams that people can join for support and encourage each other. I started a team and if you want to join it either contact me and I will add you or here are the instructions to join it yourself:
First you have to register at the site, then go to ‘Find a Team to Join‘ , then scroll down to Missouri, click and then choose the “Ideas For Women .com” team.
I’ll be posting my progress with it here too. Hopefully I won’t embarrass myself too much!
