ADD MOVEMENT WITHOUT MAKING IT A FITNESS PROGRAM
Active challenges put movement at the center, but they do not need to become formal training plans. These ideas range from walking and cycling to games, dancing, swimming, and active exploration.
CHALLENGES TO START WITH
12 challenges that get you moving
Choose an activity level that suits you and keep the challenge recreational. The point is to create a reason to move more often, not to chase a performance target.

MAKE IT FIT REAL LIFE
Keep the challenge about participation
You do not need distance, speed, calories, or streaks to make movement count. A challenge can simply give you more reasons to walk, dance, play, ride, swim, or explore.
