There are days when working out seems more like a chore. Instead of going through the motions, why not switch up your routine and make it more interesting? One way to boost your motivation is to take on a 30-Day Challenge. This is a great to mix up your regular routine, find motivation, prevent boredomStudies say it takes 21 to 30 days to break old habits and create new ones. A 30-day challenge allows you to build healthy habits that may stick with you for life. It also helps to prevent boredom from your daily routine.
A mile a day may sound easy or it may sound hard. Either way it's a killer challenge. All you have to do is move your body forward for at least 1 mile, every day, for 30 days. You can run, jog, walk, crawl, bike or swim. Just break out of your normal routine and move a mile a day.
As is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury cannot be entirely eliminated. If you experience any pain or discomfort while participating in the day’s events, listen to your body and discontinue the activity. If you have any medical condition or injury that may limit your ability to safely participate in the activities, please seek medical advice prior to participation. All challenges are completely voluntary.
Why a Mile a Day?
The primary goal is to create better habits. Real success comes from real change, and that requires a re-patterning of your lifestyle. Lacing up every day will help you learn how to make time for fitness.
For newbies, this is a great place for you to start a new fitness routine and create healthy habits. For veterans, this is a great test to either increase distance or build speed.
