Challenge
Get outside!
Go on a walk or hike somewhere NEW!
Walking with others can help to motivate you to keep walking. The friendly company keeps you from getting bored and distracts you from the walk itself.
Talking, sharing, and learning with your family helps to strengthen your bond with each other. Studies have even shown that people who are closer to their families tend to live longer. Getting a family member into walking gives you a fun activity to do together, helps them get healthier, and motivates you to walk more. Everyone wins!
It’s also great for kids to spend time away from phones, computers and other devices and get out and play in the real world. Modeling an active lifestyle is a great way to encourage your kids or grandkids to get active as well. Kids can also be a great motivator to get more active, as you’ll need to build up the endurance to keep up with them as they’re out playing.

Spring is coming and we want to welcome our outside friends back and out of hibernation! Create an animal feeder out of recycled materials and try to use feed from things you have at home! Make sure they are safe for our friends to eat!
