WOMAN Challenge: Women and girls Out Moving Across the Nation
18,350 people and 1,206 teams are participating in the 2008 WOMAN Challenge!
Here is what others are saying about the
WOMAN Challenge!

"I am so happy I joined the challenge. I am looking at this challenge as a change in my life, changing some bad habits to good. I had turned into a couch potato, but, since this challenge I am off the couch! I watch half as much television as I did before the challenge. My energy level is up. I am falling in love with exercising now. Thank you."

"What a way to motivate women! It really is important to be healthy. Being a nurse, I need to follow the advice I give my patients. Having my daughter participate with me is really setting an example for healthy living. It is also very nice to have her by my side!"

Bonus Challenges

Bonus Challenges are a way for you and/or your team to move further ahead on your route, and even make up for the days when you may not be able to reach your goals. For all participants, completing a Bonus Challenge will move you half a point further along your individual route.

If you are participating with a team, each of your team members must complete the bonus challenge in order for your team to move half a point forward on the team's route (don't worry - you'll still move forward the extra half point on your own route even if all of your team members don't complete the Bonus Challenge).

There will be 4 Bonus Challenges offered during the 8-week Challenge. At the start of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8, a new Bonus Challenge will become available, and you will have the remaining weeks of the Challenge to complete each of the 4 Bonus Challenges.

There is no new Bonus Challange this week. Please check back next week for a new challenge.
