The Weekly Steemit Health Challenge
Steemit!
We are back! Because of the wild success of the Six Week Health Challenge I'm launching the Weekly Steemit Health Challenge! Every single week you'll be able to enter the Steemit Health Challenge to a chance to win Steem.
Let me tell you about the specifics...
1. There will be a different challenge each week, posted on a Monday. These will rotate each week and will include, recipes, exercise, stress relief and walks/runs.
2. All entries need to be submitted to the comment section of Monday's post, by 8am on Sunday of that week.
3. You must use THIS banner at the end or beginning of your post.
4. The winners will be chosen each week by a panel of judges, including myself and the challenge's sponsor @sweetsssj.
5. First place each week will win 30 Steem, second place will win ten Steem and third place will win five Steem.
The Challenge This Week!
Every single week we're going to be doing a new challenge. But obviously there's only so many challenges that allow everyone to join in - so we're going to stick to the five challenges that we used in the Six Week Health Challenge.
This week I want you to:
Go on a healthy walk/run/bike ride
The goal of this week's challenge is to get you out there, getting fit and getting healthy, in nature or around your city/town. We want posts with beautiful photos, inspiring other Steemians to get outside and get fit and healthy. If you've not been part of the challenge before, go and check out some of our past finalists HERE. Remember, to enter for your chance to win a bunch of Steem, you must link your post in the comments below!
I'm looking forwards to seeing all of your entries very soon!
Yours in health,
Coach Ben
Good morning Steemit! PENCILS DOWN!
This weeks Health Challenge is now closed. Any entries submitted after this post won't be including in the judging as it is past 8am GMT on Sunday.
Don't worry if you missed the deadline - look out for a new challenge tomorrow!
Oooooohh! health challenge! Awesome idea! I was just thinking how I haven't gone out for a good walk/run in a while. This is a perfect motivation. Haha. I'll make sure to submit an entry by the end of the week. Great job Coach Ben and @sweetsssj for inspiring Steemians to get healthy. 💞💪🙏
@jazzybellys, glad I was able to swoop in at the right time and give you some motivation. Can't wait to read your entry and see what you got up to! I think I'll have to leave myself some free time on Sunday to go for a run myself after being inspired by the judging.
Not sure if my entry made it before the deadline, but here it is: https://busy.org/@jazzybells/weekly-steemit-healthchallenge-by-healthsquared
:) Thanks for this challenge. Looking forward to this week's.

Hi! Coachben @healthsquared and @sweetsssj, this is my entry for week 1. Thank you for viewing.
With love,
@pizzapai
Yay! Our first entry this week. Well done for being so pro-active and getting going so quickly. Beautifully presented as usual :)
😄 thank you so much! Your words have warm my heart, I have to do things swiftly nowadays as you know a clingy koala baby is around 😂
Thank you for encouragement!
Dear @healthsquared and @sweetsssj, this is my entry this week Thank you for the health contest, hope you like it

Thanks for the entry. Looks like great information but I can't enter it because it wasn't about a walk/run/bike that you did :)
Congratulation healthsquared! Your post has appeared on the hot page after 36min with 9 votes.
Nice.
Well well well, getting out there for whatever kind of exercise for fitness purposes is quite interesting. However, to do it for the purpose of winning SBD is a novel idea. My form keeping fit is playing Badminton in an indoor hall, can that qualify me to partake in your contest? Say how will you know if one is faking it or not? Because i can simply get my sports gears and move around Katsina my place of residence and snap pictures at attractive spots meanwhile I wasn't doing no fitness exercise?
Well you guys are doing a great deal to the steemit community, especially for we the winnows.
It is a good thing that @sweetsssj is also giving back to the community. God bless her.
Hey @izge, great to hear from you! One of the weekly challenges will be to show us how you de-stress, exercise and do sport so save badminton for that! You could go out in your sports gear and take a quick few photos, and at least that would get people out of the house. In the past the winners have always been the ones who have loads of photos in lots of different areas of town so it was clear they must have walked a good distance. Others also posted tracking from fitness apps on their phone showing their route or number of steps :)
The great thing about the challenge is that everyone can join in and if they are putting in good content then they can start to build lots more Steem!
Ai Ai sir 👋
I like the fact that you want people to exercise and get fit but I always feel whenever people are told to exercise for a prize/price, then tend to stop after the prize/price has been won.
I agree with what @izge said though but again, it is a good initiative and I commend you.
Please note that this is not to discredit your intention
That's only if they win the prize ;) Plus, this is a weekly contest so if they want to win more Steem they need to keep entering each week which will help them keep fit weekly! Thanks for the comment @tolusedove :D
grest healthy post. thanks for @healthsquared
You going to join in?
great! let's getting fit! thank you again for the challenge! you keep us excited!
Hey @janicechua, it's great to have you joining in :D I wonder where you'll go and walk/run or bike! Have you thought about it yet?

@pizzapai! It's absolutely amazing to see your face again and to learn that you'll be joining in with the challenge - you entries into the Six Week Health Challenge were always so amazing :) Looking forwards to your entry! Have you thought about what you might do?
Thank you for welcoming me again!
Because it's a casual activity that I usually do (walk or bike ride), so I don't think I have very special Great photos for this round.
It will be a very daily and common photos but it meant a lot to me because it's a family workout time together.
That's still important and inspiring to others too I think :) I'm looking forwards to seeing it!
Hey @healthsquared I love the idea and look forward to taking part. I am already quite active but am lacking in the relaxation side of life so will definitely be using your challenge as motivation to take a breather. Well done on getting everyone at least considering their health and wellbeing. Excited to be a part of the challenges.
Hey @cheft, lovely to see a new face. It will be great to have you involved and to see your entry! I'm looking forwards to it a lot :D

Can't wait either! Here is my entry for this week! I took a very long walk, enjoying it like crazy! I think walking is the best way to keep your body fit while traveling!
https://steemit.com/travel/@missdeli/the-butchart-gardens-in-victoria-on-the-vancouver-island-amazing-nature-place

STOPYes!! Am so happy seeing this post. I take really long walks and am on a weight loss journey. It's been hard but I cant quite. Thank you , this means a lot to me. I would be submitting my entry soon. love you guys
:D This is so awesome. Walking is a great low impact way to use up some calories and keep fit, running burns more but isn't accessible to everyone and bike riding is perhaps a bit of both! Looking forwards to seeing how you keep fit and lose weight @ritaaugustin

Thank you.
What a lovely walk and great photos. Really love the mix of different photos and pictures of the area and of you. Looks like the weather is beautiful!
Indeed, there were over 26 degrees, so the weather was perfect for joining the sun and the breeze. I am glad you liked my photos and I wish you a great weekend!
Instead of going to gym today I took my bike and made a great tour in the wood.
Here's my post about today's biketour in Südtirol (Italy).
Note: the post is written in german, but the Pictures are nice to watch anyway ;-)
