THE MISSOURI FITNESS CHALLENGE
Members of the Missouri Affiliate are invited to participate in the Missouri
Fitness Challenge. You do not need a Fitbit to be a part of this program.
Simply track your progress throughout and report your results back to the
Sports and Recreation Committee by March 23.  The program will begin at 12:01
a. m. on February 20 and conclude at 11:59 p. m. on March21. There are two
ways to participate and those who meet  or exceed the goal of the program
will be put in a drawing for a wonderful prize at state convention.

The two challenges are the  Missouri 200 or the  Show-Me Grand.
The Missouri 200 celebrates the 200th birthday of the State of Missouri this
year. Those  who accept this challenge will need to track their steps through
whatever method you have available  and rack up 200 hundred thousand steps
during the challenge. It might sound like a lot but it is less than 6,700
steps a day.
If you want a slightly bigger challenge  and do not wish to track steps you
can track your activity. In the Show-Me Grand Challenge the goal is to
exercise or be active for a Grand of minutes during the challenge period,
that is 1,000 minutes. This translates to just over 30 minutes a day which
can comprise of exercise, walking, jogging, yoga, or any activity that gets
you moving.   
So, who wants to accept the challenge? IF so, just start moving on February
20 and report your results back to us! Of course, you can try both challenges
but there is only one entry per person, lol.
