Fit 5 & Strong Minds Challenge
Join the Fit 5 & Strong Minds Challenge!
We are going back to the basics for this challenge, focusing on Fit 5 and Strong Minds. For this 6 week challenge we will use the SO FitNow app to track our daily Exercise, Water, Nutrition, and Strong Minds Exercises. The challenge will start off slow so everyone will be able to learn about tracking healthy behaviors and how to reach your health goals!
Download the SO FitNow app on your smart phone or visit the SO Fit Now Website to access the trackers for the challenge.
If you do not have a smartphone or access to the website, email victoria@sonm.org for printed trackers.
