Winter Challenge

The Winter Challenge has officially begun! Let's get started with the first health challenge of the year by focusing on creating some simple, healthy habits. For the Winter Challenge, we are asking you to complete five daily activities:

1. Go tobacco free
2. Give someone a smile
3. Take five minutes to meditate
4. Eat breakfast and include either a whole grain or a fruit
5. Do 10 leg lifts, 10 lunges, and 10 minutes of exercise

Each daily activity is worth one point, giving you the potential to earn five points each day. Remember that in order to receive your points, you must report your activity on the Wellness Website. Please note that the online recording only allows you to go back one week. This means that you need to get on the site and report your progress at least once per week.

We want to be sure that everyone can participate in the challenge, so if at any point you are unable to perform one of the challenge activities due to special circumstance, contact the Health Coach to arrange an alternative activity.

Good luck!
