Challenge Goals & Objectives:
Activities That Count:
Walking, hiking, running, cycling, swimming, XC skiing, swim cord routine, rowing, Pilates, yoga, tai chi, resistance exercises, physiotherapy exercises, team sports, shoveling snow, etc. Provided it is “31 minutes of dedicated physical activity” in your day, it counts.
