WEEK 1: GOALS

Nov 2-8, 2020

Your STRONG Challenge begins with setting fitness goals. Although we'll be encouraging you in other areas of your life, we want to start by focusing on physical health and wellness. Start by setting goals to achieve during the next six weeks (watch the video for guidance).

Remember, the STRONG Challenge is about making a transformation over six weeks. During the first week, we will focus on the foundation of a transformation through goal setting. To start, you will need to select something to do for 20 minutes, 5 times during the week.

In WEEK ONE, the important objective, or "thing you need to do," is begin to build a habit.

Whether you are at the "walk around the block" level or at the "run the next marathon" level, start where you are and we'll grow from there. Achieving goals will set the foundation for healthier habits for life.

WELL DONE! TAKING THIS FIRST STEP IS A DECLARATION AGAINST FAILURE AND FRUSTRATION.
