GO! Challenge.

On Sunday July 4th you will be invited as a congregation to participate in the GO! Challenge.

The GO! Challenge is designed to help you get a jump start on healthy living practices. Listed below are some of those practices:

Healthy breakfast-start the day with a nutritious meal, e.g., whole grain cereals, low fat protein, low fat dairy, fruits, and vegetables.

Fruits and veggies-eat 5+ servings, e.g., 2 cups raw leafy vegetables, ½ cup cooked veggies, ½ cup juice, small apple/banana/pear, and 1 cup cut fruit

H2O-drink eight + 8 ounce glasses of water

Aerobic exercise-use large muscle groups, increase heart rate, e.g., exercise (run, walk, swim, bike, dance) sports (basketball, soft ball, tennis) or chores
(shovel, rake, mow lawn, scrub).

Core/Strength Training-increase muscular fitness and bone strength, e.g., abdominal crunches, resistance machines, free weights, push ups, leg squats.

Flexibility/Balance-improve muscle flexibility, sense of balance, e.g., Pilates, yoga, fitness ball.

People-nurture your social network, e.g., spend quality time with family/friends, volunteer, grow a relationship.

Learn-exercise your brain, e.g., explore a new hobby, do a puzzle, take a class, read a personal growth book.

Sleep-at least seven hours a night.

You can obtain a chart in the front entry way (narthex) to help you record your participation during the entire month of July your progress on the GO! Challenge. Four out of five staff members at Christ the King are participating in the GO! Challenge.
