Having Fun Being Active

For this month's weekly challenge, we have been on the move! We've increased our daily exercise by 30 minutes and are feeling great! Although we are a busy bunch, we've found that increasing our activity level has been fairly easy to fit into our schedules by making small adjustments to our normal routines.

We've been challenging our dogs to power walks and hikes, riding our horses, tending to our gardens, deep cleaning our houses, and having dance parties with our toddlers!

Some staff members have also taken it a step further and have tried new exercises to amp up their regular routines. Power walking, stretching, running, lifting weights, and yoga have been some of the most popular of the traditional activities. In keeping with trying something new, a couple of us will be trying our first Bikram yoga class this weekend, so wish us luck!

This month's weekly challenge has been very enjoyable so far and has reminded us that being more active can be easy, fun and great for those around us. We are all looking forward to an active weekend and hope you'll do the same!

Getting Active

Last month's challenge of going out for a 10 minute break each day inspired us to take our daily activity a step further. For this month's challenge, we've decided to add 30 minutes of activity to our routines. So, starting Monday, we'll be spending a little extra time running, walking, skipping, hula hooping, swimming, playing catch, riding our bikes, or anything else we can think of doing to get our bodies moving. Increased physical activity is important for both our minds and bodies, so we're looking forward to starting the month out on the right foot and hope you'll join us. We can't wait to hear about everyone's favorite activities!
