Hey NP YWG Fam,
We miss the heck out of you all, but we know that staying safe is our most important priority.
With the warming of the days, the earlier rise of the sun and the tightening of restrictions we have come up with a fun new way to keep us all connected. We’re doing a 29 DAY MOVEMENT CHALLENGE! Starting Wednesday, May 5 and going until our – birthday on Wednesday, June 2nd!
What: The Code Red, Shake it off, Stay Connected, It’s Almost Our Birthday (Solo) Movement Challenge
When: May 5th– June 2nd
Who: Individual Effort, Teams of One, (me, myself & I)
Prizes: Bragging Rights
Tracking: Honour System (we trust you)
Scoring: (please convert all totals to kilometers for ease of comparison)
Running: kms as tracked
Walking: kms as tracked
Canoe/ Kayak/ Paddleboard: kms as tracked
Biking: kms divided by 2 (for example: for this challenge, if you cycle 20kms, pls add 10kms to your total)
Scooter: kms divided by 2
Rollerblade/ skate: kms divided by 2
High Impact Workout (NP style workout, HIIT workout, boxing class, weight lifting): 5km per 30min.
Low Impact Workout (yoga, meditation, raking, stretching): 2.5km per 30min
Add 1km to your total for a mention of NP and the Movement Challenge on your social medias (maximum 3km per week).
Don’t have a smart watch to track your activity? Use your phone to track your distances!
Don’t have a cell phone? Look at a map and measure it out!
Is there an activity that we have not mentioned that you think should be included? Hit us up or just make a judgement call and include it!
Was your hour-long yoga session super hard and you think it should be counted as 8km for the hr and not 5km? We trust you to make that judgement call!
Was your 90min weight lifting session, mostly sitting on the bench and looking at your phone and you don’t think it deserves 15km and should only be 6km? Again, we trust you to make that judgement call!
We will create a shared document and we will ask you to update your totals every Tuesday by midnight so that we can announce the leaders every Wednesday!
Important! For the month of the movement challenge, we will not be hosting zoom workouts on Wednesdays. We will be hosting a zoom check in from 6:15am- 6:20am, the purpose is to show that you are up and out of bed; that your shoes are laced or you’re on your bike or you’re walking your dog, etc. The check in is to hold you accountable and to get that little hit of motivation to crush your solo (preferably outdoor) workout!
Get moving, get tracking and let’s see who’s the champ!
Ps. If someone knows about making a shared google doc, or spreadsheet or something, Willie and I could use the tech help!
Miss you (but I won’t kiss you),
Mother of Dragons (Magen) & Mr. (oh yeah) Mac
