Woman's Challenge

There is still  time to join. I am reposting this for anyone who missed it!

OK ladies, spring is here and it is a wonderful time of year to get motivated to exercise!

This May, thousands of women across the country will embark on an eight-week physical activity challenge for better health. They will be part of the WOMAN Challenge-that is, Women and girls Out Moving Across the Nation. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health is coordinating the WOMAN Challenge to kick off the ninth annual National Women's Health Week (May 11-17, 2008). This free eight week challenge encourages women and girls to walk 10,000 steps or get 30 minutes of moderate exercise every day. The WOMAN Challenge begins on Mother's Day, May 11, and ends on July 5, 2008.

How can I register to participate?

Participants are able to register online at www.womenshealth.gov/woman.

Participants will receive a tracking log (while supplies last) to record their progress throughout the eight weeks. They will also receive weekly motivational e-mails and health tips to help them reach their goals. Women can choose to travel one of six different "virtual" routes across America.

I have started a team Virginia Beauties. We will be virtually  traveling cross country from San Francisco, California to Lewes, Delaware. From California  to the Atlantic Ocean,  we will pass through eleven states ,our nations capital,two mountain ranges,  the continents largest river-- The Mighty Mississippi and four time zones, all without jet lag!
So who is up for the challenge?  Sign up at www.womenshealth.gov/woman
