Success Stories

I am very pleased with the Governors Challenge. As a Elementary School PE teacher I am on my feet all day and pretty active already. Usually when I get home I just want to relax. Well the Governors Challenge has pushed me to get out and be active after work. It was really not very difficult for me to complete. I just did the things I enjoy doing and logged it. I am recommending my friends to try as well. I am hoping to get as many people involved as possible. I hope that it become contagious and not only my students, but parents, and teacher become involved.

In order to complete the challenge, I did various activities like jump roping, horseback riding, and Tae-Kwon-Do. Because of this challenge, it seems that I am getting fit. I got to say, I love the governor's challenge!!!

i was in a serious mountain bike accident in may tearing muscle and twisting out my knee joints. I lost about 80% use in my right leg and about 60% in my left. stretching and conditioning is slowly restoring both legs, and spending time in the jacuzzi helps too. i'm now up to 45 min on a rowing machine, and with any luck i'll be on a recumbant bike at 24 hour fitness to begin more serious rebuilding and work on my range of motion too. i'm glad the challange was here to help motivate me. at 52, i'm not about to quit.

I was never active before in my life. With this program I got more and more active. I use to not play basketball,soccer,tennis,hockey, and running. Now I play all those sports thanks to this program. My school is active too, like me. I hope we win THE GOVERNORS CHALLENGE. I run with my p.e class. I did not run until I heard about this cool program. I hope our school wins THE GOVERNOR'S CHALLENGE!!!
