December challenge calendar provides nutrition and fitness tips
Join The Rapides Foundation Get Healthy Cenla Challenge, a daily challenge designed to encourage people to improve their nutrition and physical activity. Our goal is for everyone to eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day, five days a week.
Download and print the December 2024 Challenge Calendar to get started today. December's fitness focus is "The 12 Days of Fit-mas!" This challenge will start with the exercise for the 1st Day of Fit-mas, then, on the 2nd day, you'll do the exercise for that day plus the exercise for the 1st day, and so on...just like the song! There are also lots of nutrition tips throughout the month to help you stay healthy during the holidays.
In addition to our calendar, we have even more resources to help you meet your health goals. You can click here to see videos about how to eat healthier, simple exercises you can add to your workout, and tips for proper walking techniques on our YouTube channel. Links to all of these resources are also in the "More Links" section below this article.
The challenges on our calendar are prepared by trained staff in our CMAP Healthy Lifestyle Program. They are designed to be simple and realistic. If you find the challenges too easy, try doubling the amounts. If they are too hard, don't worry. Do what you can, and have fun!
