#MOVETHATLYMPH 2017 FALL 60 Day Challenge

Lymphie Strong

7 years ago

Hello Fall

Pumpkin spice is back!! Oh yeah! Let’s go Friday Night Lights, colorful leaves, candy corn, and hopefully cooler weather as the Fall season is upon us. Many of us will feel some relief as the temperatures and humidity levels begin to drop. This is personally my favorite time of the year!

For our next #MOVETHATLYMPH challenge, we will do a #60DayChallenge for Fall. To participate in this challenge, you MUST share your posts in The Lymphedema Running & Fitness Club (LRFC) closed FB group with the hashtag #movethatlymph and share your workouts. No need for your workouts to be complicated. Participate at YOUR level. This is a challenge for Lymphies by Lymphies. This means it is NOT a competition. It is a challenge for yourself to improve or maintain your lymphatic health, depending on your needs.
