Welcome to the 2nd #MOVETHATLYMPH 60 Day Challenge for 2018!! For some of you, this is your first challenge. For many of you, you’ve completed multiple challenges and you are ready to help others achieve their fitness goals. In either case, we are all excited to get back in the groove and to #MOVETHATLYMPH. So far this year we have had participants from all over the world – United States, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Add your country to the list!
If there is ANY ever doubt in your mind that people with lymphedema cannot exercise or are lazy or fat, I challenge you to join The Lymphedema Running & Fitness Club closed group on Facebook and see for yourself a group of people that are debunking myths, overcoming insurmountable odds, and smashing all types of barriers and labels. In short, their illness does not define them. You will not find a more determined group of positive like minded individuals working towards a common goal of living with lymphedema in a healthy and fit way of life. See #MOVETHATLYMPH Testimonials.
For our next #MOVETHATLYMPH challenge, we will do a Summer Fun #60DayChallenge for Summer 2018. Heat and humidity are the enemies of LE and other lymphatic diseases. This is why we are joining forces together as one team to push through arguably the toughest time of the year for all of us.
Team Atmosphere
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.
By joining you commit to #MOVETHATLYMPH and sharing your progress in the group. This challenge is a pledge to support and inspire your teammates. If you do not share your workouts in the group, you are not motivating others and likewise others cannot support and motivate you when you need encouragement.
If sharing makes you uncomfortable or you do not have time, then this is not the challenge for you. If you must drop out due to unforeseen circumstances such as cellulitis, surgery, or other emergency issues, send Lymphie Strong a message. If the reason is personal, simply state withdrawing for personal reasons.
Types of #MOVETHATLYMPH Activities
You can run, walk, swim, march in place in your living room, hike, yoga, pilates, aquatic exercise, chair exercise, pump, deep diaphragmatic breathing, gardening, stretching, or any other activity your heart desires.
