#impACTforLife – Week 2

Nothing Changes until you ACT!

Monday

Continue your healthy habits from Week 1. Don’t let cooler weather derail you.

Set a new fitness goal.

Write it down! 

Be proACTive: Share your new goal with us using the #impACTforLife hashtag. Writing things down & sharing goals with others helps you stick to your commitment. You never know what may inspire someone else!

Some ideas: 

•    Run a mile without stopping

•    Walk a mile under 15 minutes

•    Register for a 5K

•    Do a handstand pushup

•    Lift weights 3x per week

•    Walk 10,000 steps 5 days a week

Tuesday

Rethink the pancake!

This quick morning pancake is full of fiber, potassium and protein! Think big oatmeal cookie!

Thursday

Make a plan! Plan out your meals for next week and write your workouts down in your planner!

Friday

Clean out a couple of closets and drawers!

Going up and down on a step-ladder can be a little bit of an exercise, but to initiate some sweat – set a timer every 15 minutes. When the buzzer sounds, do a set of crunches, leg lifts, arm circles and, then, get back to work.

Be ProACTive: Be ready to donate any items and clothing that are in good condition to Goodwill!

Weekend

Enough good ACTions lead to good habits!

Watching TV? Get up and move during the commercial breaks.

Try doing 15-30 seconds of pushups, planks, scissor jumps before you sit back down on the sofa, which keeps you ACTive as we move into Week 3 of our #impACTforLife ACTion Challenge!
