Happy Monday

Good afternoon Lungers, 

We hope you all are keeping safe and well.  

As we get closer to finishing another challenge, we just want to catch up with you all and see where you’re at with regards to the challenges. For us to continue providing weekly challenges and tips we ask that you keep us in the loop, let us know how you’re feeling and whether you would like to try and experiment with new or different method of exercising.  

[thelockdownlungers]

Happy Wednesday! 

It’s challenge time again. Lets kick things off with one of the best techniques we know for establishing a consistent habit, base and quickly setting the tone to become motivated: The Run Streak.

The idea behind the run streak is simple, just run every single day for 7 days. Run at least 1Mile or for 10 minutes every day, rain hail or snow. The run doesn't have to be fast or pretty but it needs to be logged & don't forget to tag us. 

If you want to make things more challenging, increase  the distance or time each day.

Sunday Funday💪🏻

Today was a great day to get out and be active.

We are now four days into this weeks challenge of skipping/jumping. It is really important to remember that you can do this, now is the time to push you’re self past your limits. It is also key that you keep well hydrated and energised to get the best out of your workout.

We also suggest that if you have the time get out and do a 15-20 minute walk either before or after you complete your challenge for the day.

Remember this is you’re chance to make a difference.
