Free Charge Up Challenge. Gets you ready for Spring.
It’s mid-month and the Charge Up Challenge on Instagram is well under way, but it doesn’t mean you can’t join in right now! Click Here to Get Started
I heard on the news the other day that many people pack on “winter weight,” that it’s normal and we shouldn’t feel too bad about it. In the moment, I was super excited! Why thank you, I thought, for validating my lazy lack of workout routine! But then it struck me that I was thanking these TV newscasters for saying we shouldn’t feel bad about how we look and feel because everyone’s out of shape and a little jiggly this time of year. Yikes!
What should have been my real wakeup call was when Charles and Aleks of Charge Performance and Wellness told me about their #Chargeup and #Chargeyourplate Challenge during the month of March. But in fact, it wasn’t until I had a terrible three-day migraine that wouldn’t go away. During a two-hour massage my muscles were sore, tight and tender. The masseuse (also my little sister) said, “I’ve never massaged someone with such tightness in their upper arms”. Like any good big sister, I responded with snarky response, but honesty, I knew it was because I’ve been laying dormant like a koi fish in a pond over the winter.
It’s mid-month, Charles, Aleks and others at Charge Performance have joined the Charge Up Challenge on Instagram, and they’re well on their way to shedding winter blues, weight, lack of movement, whatever you want to call it. I decided I’m not waiting any longer. I’m getting started.
The Charge Up Challenge is a free fitness challenge to engage and encourage people to add 10 minutes of movement each day on Instagram and Facebook. 10 minutes people, just 10 minutes! I know it doesn’t sound like much but don’t under estimate a good workout and adding a new daily habit into your routine.
The 10-minute workout combines a core, lower and upper workout in one set. You complete the set three times. The first set you do for 1 minute, then repeat for 2 minutes, then repeat for 20 seconds. If you need a visual, like I did, head to Instagram and follow @Charge_philly look at the post from March 1st where Charles breaks it down for you.
You can even win prizes including free group training access at Charge Performance and Wellness, Salming running shoes, Perform Better super bands, an Instant Pot, t-shirts and more! All you need to do is post a photo or video of your workout on Instagram everyday (for at least 10 days) and tag @charge_philly and hashtag #chargeup in each post for your chance to win!
To take the challenge to the next level you can also participate in the #chargeyourplate challenge, which is a free nutrition challenge. Charge Performance and Wellness will provide 15 nutritional tips and recipes that will be posted to Instagram. Post a daily photo or video of what you ate each day in the form of a healthy snack or meal and tag @charge_philly and hashtag #chargeyourplate for your chance to win!
There are a ton of new classes and trainings at Charge Performance and Wellness, like the Broad Street Run Training Program, E-training guides, and a new $99 unlimited class special for new clients. Check all of those programs out here at https://www.chargephilly.com
I’m going to start my charge challenge today. I encourage you to join me!
