Lord of the Rings Challenge seeks brave hearted individuals to join the Fellowship Now!
Join us for a Fitness Challenge based on Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
Each week there will be cardio, strength and flexibility minutes goals as well as food and health challenges. This is a great way to keep moving, meet new supportive MFP friends and challenge the way you see yourself/ your health/ your goals.
The challenge begins Sunday, January 31st and will run at least 9 weeks. We are still plotting out the exact length of the challenge.
There are only a certain number of spots available in the challenge but you now have the option of auditing the challenge. So you can have the fun of the challenge but not be required to meet exercise minute goals or reporting by the deadlines. This is a great option if you are new to fitness or unsure if you have the time for a challenge due to other commitments.
There is no trivia, so no knowledge of Lord of the Rings is necessary.
Here is the link for the challenge group which will become private on Sunday, January 31st when the challenge starts. Full rules are listed there.

This is my first time joining a challenge group. I love that you made one for LOTR. I've signed up under Elves. How do I find the link once it gets started so that I do not miss anything? Thank you.0

Aren't we all!
Welcome to Middle Earth to you both!0 -
Looks like a fun challenge!0

Seems fun. My main source of exercise at this point, with the weather turned and outdoors not an option, is indoor rock climbing. Since it's a pretty good combination of cardio and strength would it just be up to my discretion what category it fits in?0

Rock wall climbing is one of the very few exercises that straddles the line of cardio/strength. You would have to divide your time based on the climbs of the day. Technical slower climbs as strength and climbs for speed with little to no rest between climbs as cardio. Same with bouldering.
