Why did you decide to join the national Fitness challenge?
To put it simply, I joined because I was asked to join the challenge by a fellow Missouri NFB member.

What motivated you during the challenge?
I was motivated by friendly compettition and by the knowledge that I was burning a lot of calories.

What new knowledge did you gain about fitness while participating?
I learned that you don't have to join a gym and that walking provides many health benefits.
What did you learn about yourself during the challenge?
I learned that even though I have a very busy schedule, I can make time to live a fit lifestyle.

How has the National Fitness Challenge impacted you?
Before the National Fitness Challenge, I looked forward to taking naps during weekends. Although I still make time for quick naps, I now look forward to getting in some more steps. I also realized, by walking around the neighborhood, that my cane travel skills had become a bit rusty. The National Fitness Challenge allowed me to realearn many O&M lessons.
