The Active Every Day challenge

1 November 2013

My friend, Shannon Wilkinson, of Perception Studios has launched her Active Every Day in November challenge.

Her goal? To get us up and moving. Being active is so important. As another friend Margaret Lukens, says, Sitting is the new smoking. So if you take on Shannon’s challenge, every day in November you’ll purposely be a little more active than you ordinarily would.

For me, that might mean:

Using the stairs instead of the elevator
Taking my dog for longer walks
Staying on the cardio machines for an extra five minutes (or longer)
Exercising more than three days a week at the gym (that would be huge)
Parking farther from the entrance to a store or office building
Dusting off my Wii Fit and doing some dancing or exercise games

You get the idea. Whatever your activity level, take it up a notch and get a little more active than usual. Every day.

If you choose to participate in the challenge, you can post your activity on Twitter with the hashtag #ActiveEveryDay. Or post to or tag the Perception Studios Facebook page. Be sure and read about the challenge on Shannon’s blog post for rules and her ideas of activities and ways to share.

I’m looking forward to purposeful activity this month!
