The End is the Beginning

Yes, we've finally reached the end of the 2010 Pedometer Challenge - but don't quit now. Over the past 8 weeks I've gotten used to having my pedometer clipped to my waistband. While I already know that I'm a pretty active person, that little device still inspired me to work hard everyday. I hope that it did the same for you.

Now that the challenge is over, it doesn't mean that we should discard our pedometers. They are tools that we can continue to use without the incentive of winning fun AhealthyU prizes. Continually challenging yourself to hit a certain number of steps, or to gradually increase your number of daily steps, can help you win an even better prize - a higher quality, healthier lifestyle.

Thanks for following my blog during the Pedometer Challenge! I look forward to blogging about future AhealthyU programs with you.

Friday I did an easy 30 minute aquajog session and then rode the bike for 60 minutes.

Saturday I was back at the Lake. A 60 minute aquajog was followed by lots of leisurely swimming and wakeboarding.

I celebrated the final day of the Pedometer Challenge at the Lake. My morning started with 90 minutes of aquajogging and I then relaxed for most of the day floating in the water. I did take one run on the wakeboard in some super choppy water.
