Is your heart still heavy about still not being able to go to the gym? That’s alright — adjusting can take a bit of time sometimes. With millions of people staying home during the national lockdown, the time is ripe for a friendly challenge. While we are all spending extra time at home, why not utilise this time to put down the remote and test your fitness with a daily challenge? Challenges are a great way to stay motivated and active. Try yourself out with these challenges for the month of June.
1/ adidas #HOMETEAMHERO Challenge

If you can’t afford a donation, do the push-ups anyway to create awareness!
4/ June-July Walk Challenge
If you’re on the Strava app, then join the June-July Challenge and upload your run or walk on the app when you get started. All you have to do is complete a walk, hike, or some form of activity twice a week for eight weeks.
