Healthy Holiday Challenge
Week 1, November 8-14

Welcome to the first day of the Healthy Holiday Challenge! Take this week to familiarize yourself with your personal success tracker and virtual resources.
This Week's Theme:

Move and Groove

This week we focus on moving our bodies. Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity on 5 days this week. Walk, jog, run, dance, stretch...do anything to get the body going. If 30 minutes sounds intimidating, try breaking it up! 15 in the morning, 15 in the afternoon, or 10-10-5-5. Remember to switch your position every 20-30min during the work day!

Print your favorite design of the Healthy Holiday Challenge Pledge, fill it out, then post it in a visible place to remind you of your commitment. Use the Personal Success Tracker to check off each day that you have completed the weekly challenge. As you work on the challenge each week, write notes to yourself on what did/did not work.
