Week 3: 5K Fitness Challenge

WEEK 3: Stay Motivated!

This week is all about how to stay motivated! Setting up realistic goals for yourself, tracking your exercise progress, and linking with a running buddy can all help you stay on track. Sometimes, finding alternate ways to get in your exercise can also do the trick...like going for a swim or bike ride or even doing a bit of volunteer work, can change things up enough to keep you going!

Lastly, don't forget to register for the Live Well San Diego 5K or 1-mile fun run on Sunday, September 17th. Registration is FREE and everyone is welcome!

Thank you for taking this journey with us! We want you to feel great, have more energy, connect with others, and be ready to participate in the Live Well San Diego 5K.

Then set some activity goals and log your exercise - you might be surprised at how much you already do! The National Institutes of Health have gathered these tracking tools to help you stick to your exercise routine and see your progress.
