We’re excited to partner with the local youth empowerment non-profit, Upower, for our October Consistency Challenge! Upower was founded in 2014 by GLSC members Jill Beck and Martha Moseley and has been running youth empowerment classes here at GLSC and across Seattle ever since.
The challenge: Move for 30 minutes every day in October! We’ll have a poster board, just like Mile-a-Day-May, where you can add your name and track your progress with stickers. There are three ways to earn your daily sticker:
1. Take a class at GLSC
2. Do one of Upower’s activities
3. Complete any other 30-minute activity of your choice
At the end of the challenge, Upower will award trophies to the members who:
* Attended the most GLSC classes
* Did the most Upower activities
* Stayed the most consistent throughout the month
We’ll post Upower activity options next to the board and include them in our newsletters. Here are more details + ideas for home workouts courtesy of UPower.
Finally, we will have an opportunity to try a Upower class for yourself to see how they are engaging underserved kids in fitness. Come check it out on Sunday 10/20 at 12:30pm. No sign-up required.
