The COVID pandemic encouraged us all to find innovative ways to exercise away from gyms, PE classes, and crowded spaces. People found ways to attend virtual exercise classes and also inspired us to pick up a hobby or two and get outside to satisfy our craving for social interaction. That’s why the Summer Family Fitness Challenge blended a mix of in-person, outdoor group hiking expeditions and virtual exercise options.
