The #GettingFitterwithSandeep Challenges in January and February were more monotonous, doing the same activity, every day. So I announced a multi-activity, 100 Day Health Challenge, starting from April 1, with a mission to have 100 participants join in on this journey.
To my surprise, 580 people signed up! A mass fitness drive risen out of Twitter interactions, amazingly supported by many fitness and health experts, entrepreneurs and individuals from varied walks of life. Almost all of them, I have never met personally.
The 100 Day Challenge is an attempt to break that monotony and makes the fitness regime a lot more fun and rewarding. I believe this 100 Day Health Challenge is the ONLY ONE of its kind.
The CHALLENGE is unique in its format where varied activities can be done and not limited to just a few. Continue following your routine or change your activities depending on mood and interest to avoid monotony from setting in.
You can walk, run, cycle, swim, do strength training, yoga, zumba, aerobics or even play a sport like tennis, badminton etc. The idea is to be physically active and to get into a routine to end 2021 in the best shape. You may do activities as many times in a day or take rest on some days – it’s totally up to you.
