October is great for walking – temperatures are crisp & the colors are remarkable. Throughout the month of October, SDSU Extension is challenging South Dakotans to soak in the gorgeous colors of our state and make physical activity a top priority.
Current physical activity guidelines recommend that adults get 150+ minutes of aerobic (walking, biking, swimming, etc.) physical activity and at least 2 days of muscle-strengthening (weight training, resistance training) activity each week. A great way to focus on meeting the guidelines is by participating in this challenge throughout the month of October!
How the Challenge Works
Track all your active minutes starting Wednesday, October 1 through Friday, October 31. At the end of the 31 days, we will ask you to submit your total active minutes through a survey you will receive via email.
