The 2023 FREE community Get Moving Challenge will begin April 16 and run till May 27. Our focus this year is on Heart Health. Anyone of any fitness level may participate in the challenge as an individual or as part of a team for accountability and support.
Track your minutes of physical activity each week and submit them to McDowell Wellness Center and you will be placed in a prize drawing. Everyone who submits at least 5 weeks of activity minutes will receive a free Get Moving t-shirt, thanks to our generous sponsors.
You will receive weekly newsletters which will feature heart health information as well as recipes and updates on the challenge.
