Completing a daily wellness or fitness challenge includes planning ahead of time. Have you ever noticed that getting your gear ready the night or day before you get that run or swim in is much easier! That could mean packing a swim or gym bag, even running shoes, and running clothes. Putting them in a nice pile to help you initiate the workout or activity can potentially help you get started quicker. As participants in the Hit the Deck, our teams create their own 31-day challenge, set a fundraising goal, and work alongside Plus One volunteers and staff to push the bounds of their own personal wellness. Pack up your yoga, swim, or gym bag the night before. You will reach your goal and help resource the community with neurological conditions.
Walk or Run - Walking and running is such a wonderful form of exercise and is the original weight-bearing activity! Set a walking or running goal, in miles or days out. Share with your sponsors and turn the miles into better fitness and resources for those with neurological conditions. Maybe add a few hikes into the month and increase your miles.
Swim - Swimmers are moving in a completely different medium. Set a goal, whether it is laps, meters, miles or days you hit the swim deck. We love our wet heads!
Wellness, yoga, mediation, stretching - Set the activity and goal. This is a way to make each day better with wellness and your friends and family and colleagues will contribute to the goal.
Interval training, cross-fit and all kind of intensive exercise - Set the program, get sponsored and be you. Exercise physiologist tell us that interval training improves fitness levels and strength.
Read, write letters, garden - Do you have a summer goal for reading, writing letters or days out in the garden. Gardening is considered one of the most beneficial activities, lowering blood pressure, increasing flexibility and elevated mood level.
Cycle - Road, mountain, stationary, spin class or your ride of choice. Set the goal, maybe it is a number of stationary or outside rides, miles, or elevation. Cyclist say cycling makes you the most happiest of any exercise activity and it is low joint impact.
