Mastering the Fitness Streak

A fitness streak is a wellness challenge focusing on physical activity designed to keep you moving. In short, it gets you off the couch and away from the cubicle. In today’s livestream, I review my own fitness streak challenge that I started a week ago. I provide a framework for how to create rules that will keep you accountable. Finally, when motivation falls apart, I provide some tricks that is sure to propel you forward. Join me today to share your own experience.
