Week 4: Spice up Your Routine
Congratulations! You’ve made it to the final week of the MOVEmber Challenge!
Here are six ways to spice up your routine so you stay motivated to keep moving:
Turn up the tunes. Exercise and music complement one another. Research shows that working out while listening to your favorite songs – or even just fast-paced music — can speed up your pace, increase your workout endurance, make exercise feel easier, and can even help your muscles recover quicker.
Transforming your health is all about lasting change. Once the challenge is over, what will you do to keep up with your new lifestyle? Make the new, healthy behaviors you have adopted during this challenge part of your regular routine.
The challenge ends on Dec. 4, but you will have until Dec. 11 to report the previous week’s steps. Log in to www.RiversideHealthcare.org/REACH on your desktop or mobile device to record your final activities.
Week 2: Find Your Form
When it comes to taking a leisurely stroll versus walking for fitness, it all comes down to proper form. Below are a few pointers on proper technique while you’re walking for exercise, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Swing your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows. (Slight pumping with your arms is fine.)
Complete the challenge by reporting at least 200,000 steps and you will earn 100 points toward your 2022 wellness incentive and be entered into a raffle to a Zappos gift card. The challenge ends on Nov. 7, but you will have until Nov. 13 to report the previous week’s steps.
