Virtual Adventures

I wanted to tell you about something exciting I started this year.

Moving and staying active has been an important part of my world for years, but the last twenty-four months have been more challenging than usual. So when I thought about my goals for 2022, I went exploring and found something wonderful to try.

It's a virtual fitness challenge called The Conqueror.

There are some really neat moving parts to this.

1) You can pick from a large number of places to visit (virtually!) and different distances to achieve.

2) You track your own movement, and the technology of the app lets you hop in and SEE what you'd actual view during that part of the loop.

The first challenge I did was a hike in Peru, in honour of my trip there two years ago that was interrupted—getting to look online at the trail was amazing to me!

Number 3) amazing thing? The finisher medals are SO COOL!!

This is the one I earned for finishing the Inca Trail.

So far I've managed to finish two challenges. This one for Giza had me walking through Egypt past the pyramids.

I had a great time, and being a part of the virtual challenge kept me motivated to pull on my workout gear and get going.

I'm currently working on three more challenges at the same time. I'm traveling through India (every time I do a yoga session I count one done.) I'm also walking the Road to Hana. And the last is swimming the English Channel!

There're no hard and fast rules of how to achieve these, since it's on the honour system, so I've adapted it to make MY goals work (like counting a yoga session as 1. I could also count it as miles covered if I chose to…)

Isn't this pretty? My hubby was very sweet and made me a wall hanger to display my awards as I earn them. (Yes, he's wonderful! Very very wonderful.)

I guess even grown ups like to earn stars!!

10% is only a little bit of a break, but I'm having so much fun, I thought I should share!
