Your Quitting the Sitting Plan

Challenge: Using the input form on this page: http://www.quittingthesitting.com/act-now.html spell out your sitting reduction plan. Specify your top priority for sitting less (your “One Thing”) as well as any other actions you'll be taking to sit less. Fill out and submit the form.

Please Note: By selecting “My Fitness Pal Movin' in May Challenge” from the pull-down list of Organizational Challenges on the Act Now page, your pledged reduction to sit less will be added to our group's total, and this count will be shared with Auna so that she can let everyone in the group know the total number of sitting hours eliminated by Moving in May Challenge takers! No individual or identifying information will be shared, just the group's total reduction in sitting hours.

Alternative Challenge:
Run for 10 minutes! You can do it all at once or break it up into smaller chunks if you wish.

    I signed up yesterday, so I guess I'll be doing some running throughout the day. :)

    Signed up! I was going to run this morning, but there was rain. Will try tonight (although I HATE running with a passion).

    running is to hard on my knees so I'll walk an extra 20 mins today.

    I have already signed up as well, I did reach my step goal today by 1pm, which was very quick. Did a lot more walking around the office than I thought.

    I'm not much of a runner, so I subbed a 10 minute HIIT workout for the 10 minutes of running. :)

    I'm seeing lots of people sign up. If you haven't already signed up, please do: http://www.quittingthesitting.com/act-now.html According to social scientists, deciding which actions you want to take and then writing them down (even electronically) increases the likelihood that you'll take those actions.

    Plus, at the end of the month I'll be able to share with the group the total number of sitting hours reduced by Movin' in May participants. Our collective impact!
