Movement: March Prompt

March Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Movement”

--

Keep moving — swing, jump, and play!

When I don’t get a chance to hang upside-down on the monkey bars, one of my go-to exercises when I need to get my blood rushing — is jumping jacks. They’re simple, require no equipment or cash, can be done anywhere, and perk up my entire body!

I aim to do 100 jumping jacks daily, along with 100 squats and 25 push-ups. This trio of exercises and walking at least 10,000 steps is the minimum of what I try to achieve daily. Accountability was key to my success when I started my fitness journey four years ago.

I loathed exercising before but once I established a routine and noticed progress in my journey, I gained confidence and now — exercise is a FUN activity, rather than a chore.

This month, I’m challenging anyone who would like to participate in the Jumping Jacks Movement Challenge:

Do at least 100 jumping jacks per day for the month of March!

If you can do more than 100, please do. If you can only do 25, please still join me!
