Fitness in the New Year

The seven week Fitness Challenge begins on Friday.  Sign up today to take the first steps in reaching your new year goals.  Earn your first 10 points just for signing up -  Click here to sign up for the Fitness Challenge.

Join us on Saturday, January 2nd for a walk on the Katy Trail to earn 10 points.  Meet at 2pm at the Starbucks on Knox.  Please register so we can contact you if weather forces us to move indoors - Katy Trail Walk.  We will be hosting a group fitness activity every Saturday during the challenge - you have the opportunity to earn 10 points each time you participate.

Our monthly events are not only fun, informative and supportive they are another opportunity to earn points.  RSVP for our January event at Elevation!

Not in Dallas? You can still earn event points by participating in or organizing a group fitness activity.  Send us a picture of the group (you included, of course) and we'll award you 10 points.  Limit one per week. Send an email to fitness@goodnewsgirlz.com

Complete a weekly exercise log - each time you do we'll add another 5 points to your total.

Beginning January 1, you will have two daily opportunities to increase your point total.  Add your comment to any Good News Girlz story and you will automatically earn one point.  Participate in our daily poll and you earn one point.

At the end of the challenge the top point earners will be eligible to win cool prizes (fitness memberships, spa packages, and more)

And, let your points work to support a charitable cause. The GNGs have selected 5 charities to support in conjunction with this challenge: The Dallas Haiti Project, North Texas Food Bank, Family Place, Attitudes and Attire, and the Women's Museum. When you sign up for the challenge, select a charity to receive your points.  At the end of the challenge, the charity with the most points will receive a donation of 50% of the pool from the GNG's. The second place charity will receive 20% and the remaining three will receive 10% each. The total charity pot is currently at $2,000.

The fitness challenge will conclude at our February event, which we will announce soon. We are so excited about the New Year (which is almost upon us) and everything we have planned-so stay tuned for more details about our New Year, New You challenge and events!
