Active April 2024 Spring Hiking Challenge

Team Struggles is back to tell you all about our Spring Challenge for 2024: Active April!

Join Sam, Katy, and a very hungry dog who hasn't learned to chew with her mouth closed for this shortie episode. It's chock-full of giggles and nonsense before we finally get to the point--which is to tell you all about the Active April Challenge and the reasons behind the challenge being crafted in the way it is.

Starting April 1st (no fools), we'll be challenging ourselves AND YOU to 150 minutes of moderate-intensity hiking (or preferred activity) per WEEK.  That's only about 21 minutes a day, Trekkies. We believe in you.

Sam talks us through the mental health benefits of time spent out in nature, and Katy gives a rundown on the benefits of cardiovascular activities for our bodies, and what exactly "moderate" means.  

This challenge unites the practices of nature-time and aerobic exercise into a league of extraordinary benefits, and the result is a big ol' double dose of goodness for our whole ass selves.
