Freedom Fitness Challenge

Celebrate our freedom while also having the freedom to move however you want. Current Physical Activity Guidelines recommend adults get 150 minutes of activity each week. That’s just 30 min./day, 5 days a week or 22 min./day 7 days a week. Rec Sports is challenging you to join us in this goal from July 1st to July 21.

How it works: Each day you are active, log it in our Strava Club and if you reach 150 minutes by the end of each week, we will have some swag for you!
