Here's the plan: May Wellness (Mile) Challenge

Athlete Type:

• All Levels

Movement Type:

• Walk

• Jog

• Run

• Walk/Run/Jog

• Row

• Bike
  

Before You Begin:

• Planning your route before you start your mile is a crucial step. It's not just about knowing when you've reached your halfway point and when to turn around and head back to your starting point. It's about setting yourself up for success, feeling confident in your journey, and knowing that you're prepared for whatever comes your way.
  

• Complete a good warm-up, aiming to use dynamic warm-ups and prepare your body for your mile.  If you need a few ideas check out these post.

• If you are on the road, wear the appropriate colors for the time of day that you will be completing your mile. Bright colors and a reflective vest may be a good start. 

The Work:

• Start each day by reviewing your goals and setting your intentional goal(s) for the day.

  • This is my first mile for the month, how fast can I _____ (walk, jog, run, bike, complete) it?

  • Yesterday I completed my mile in ____ (time), today I’m going to push for 5 seconds faster.
    

• At the end of each day, if you met your 1 mile goal, check off the circle next to it; if you don't, don't worry; tomorrow is a new day.

Exercise Rx

While our focus this month is intentionality about completing one mile per day, we cannot forget the other parts of our holistic wellness. Incorporate other modalities like resistance training (at least one to two times per week), flexibility and range of motion activities, and activities for enjoyment, to name a few. Sleep, 😴 Nutrition, and Rest and Regeneration are also important, so sleep, eat Whole Foods, and recover.

Each day, the goal of physical activity is at least 30 minutes. You can get some ideas on a few ways you can stay physically active with activities that you enjoy by checking out my post Revamp Your Fitness Routine 🏃🏾‍♀️ with My Fitness & Physical Activity Ideas!
