5. ?: This is a cute one for the summer when everyone is traveling. Make a logo or mascot for your group that can easily be packed in a suitcase. Whenever a group member takes part in an active event while they are out of town, they take a photo and share it with the group. Add a description of what the activity was.

6. Share one healthy recipe each week: Challenge members to submit a healthy recipe they have tried. The group can vote for their favorite. You could even plan an event where everyone brings a healthy dish with recipes to distribute to group members.

7. Enter an event together: Try a , a Warrior Dash, or a bike ride for charity. If you don’t all live in the same place, you can enter where you live, compare notes and post pictures for each other using e-mail, facebook, twitter etc.

8. Pick an exercise (sit-up, push-up, burpees, miles run/walked etc). Keep track of the number of these exercises you do for seven days. Person or team who does the most is the lucky winner!

9. Thirty day weight loss percentage challenge. Keep track of the amount of weight you lose for thirty days. The person who loses the highest percentage of his/her body weight is the winner.

10. Seven day NO (pick two junk foods, like soda and chips) challenge.  Group members check in each day to talk about how they are doing and the benefits they are experiencing.

Fitness challenges can keep your group motivated to reach ultimate goals of losing weight, gaining strength and getting healthy.  Do you have any fitness challenges you have had success with?  Please share them.  I am always looking for new ideas.
