So you have signed up or are thinking about signing up and not sure how this works?
Well, it’s #MOVETHATLYMPH O’clock somewhere!! Read on for virtual challenge instructions.
Approved Activities
Basically anything. 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 you like to do.
Your goal is to reach 20 activities in 45 days. Rest days are strongly encouraged but do not count towards your total 20.
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.
Social Media Sharing
If sharing makes you uncomfortable or you do not have time to post on social media, then this virtual challenge is not for you.
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.
Think of your sharing as tracking your progress or a journal towards your achievement. You will be surprised how much you have accomplished once you complete the challenge.
Withdrawing
Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about LE related or not. 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.
