A challenge is a great way to join up with peers to inject health and wellness into the winter months. One of the things I like the best about the Live Healthy Iowa 10 Week Challenge is that it's so simple. I track my basic wellness goals and check in with friends on how they are doing.
The Live Healthy Iowa Challenges are all winning, no losing. Any amount I get my body moving and any amount I socialize in the winter goes into my personal wellness bank. I can't wait to fatten up my wellness account! I hope you'll join me!
