The 2024 New Year New Moves Challenge
Healthy living is a journey. It happens one step at a time... in this case one move at a time. In our 2024 New Year, New Moves Challenge, we’ll build daily exercise habits using proven techniques from the science of behavior change and baby steps.
Win 2024 with Just 1 minute of movement everyday…
All you have to do to win this challenge is find time every day from January 3rd-January 30th for at least 1 minute of movement that gets your heart rate up and makes you breathe more heavily. You can choose any movement you like: dancing, jumping rope, squatting, walking stairs, doing crunches, running, walking, swimming, shooting a basketball, skating…what-ev-er you want.
Why only 1 minute?
Scientific studies continue to reveal to life-saving benefits of regular exercise. Research shows that even short frequent bursts of activity can have a powerful health effect (helping to control blood sugar and promote weight loss).
Our focus this month is building a strong foundation to carry you through the rest of the year. If you’ve ever failed to reach your exercise goals, you know that building new habits around physical activity isn’t the easiest thing. That’s because, when it comes to setting aside the time and energy you need to exercise, there are so many moving pieces (no pun intended) involved.
Habit-building is the what
Exercising for only 1 minute per day strips down the challenge of the exercise itself, allowing you to iron out the logistics of protecting space for daily movement. Once you’re comfortable with moving for 1 minute everyday, moving for 30 minutes is easy.
