Get moving for myeloma! Commit during Myeloma Awareness Month (March 2021) to become more fit by working out 20 minutes each day, with the team goal of 350,000 minutes! Each week we will have a "Fitness Friday" where we will focus on awesome health tips such as, successful dieting, benefits of water, and more!
Whether walking around your neighborhood, cycling a mountain trail, swimming in a pool, gardening, or trying out Yoga for the first time, any level of activity counts. So long as you stay active for twenty minutes or more!
All minutes and tracking will be recorded through a Fitness Challenge app called Move Spring. THIS APP IS FREE AND REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CHALLENGE.
Here are the steps to enroll in the app:
To add a little incentive to your fitness journey, you could win the following prizes:
All participants will be the first to receive our newly designed Muscles for Myeloma shirt (min. 120 minutes)
20 raffle participants will receive an $100 Amazon gift card (must meet daily goal 15 out of 30 days)
5 raffle participants will receive a Apple Watch or $500 Amazon gift card (must meet daily goal 25 out of 30 days)
Winners of the gift cards and watches will be chosen randomly from those who meet the requirements, which can be tracked in the fitness app.
Fitness matters to everyone, but it is especially important for myeloma patients. The more fit patients are, the more they are able to tolerate therapies which lead to better, longer lasting outcomes.
We hope to encourage patients and caregivers to join and build a healthier, more active lifestyle with myeloma, especially during COVID-19. Remember, "exercise not only changes your body, it changes your mind, your attitude, and your mood." Let's improve our life and health while building "Muscles for Myeloma!"
During the month of March, we want to hear how YOU are building Muscles for Myeloma and will be inviting you to share your story and photos to inspire others. More to come!
Thanks to our Muscles for Myeloma sponsors!
