Get Your Move On is a flexible, empowering challenge designed specifically for people living with arthritis and their supporters. You choose how much time you want to move each week and how you move. There's no fixed distance or activity, just get moving!

You can choose to walk, swim, yoga, or chair-based activities. The point is for you to choose what feels rigt for you! If it gets you moving and feels manageable, it counts toward your time goal.

Unlike other challenges, we are not asking you to reach a certain number of steps or distance. This is a time-based challenge, meaning you are tracking how long you spent Getting Your Move on. It could be 15 minutes on a trendmill, or out for a walk for an hour. If you are moving, then you can log it!

You’ll choose a weekly time goal that feels realistic for you. For example, you might aim for 60 minutes a week then break them into short sessions. You can spread your time across the week or complete it in one go. Remember the aim is consistency and building healthy habits, not perfection.

That's totally okay, we understand that and have built this challenge to be flexible. On tougher days, take a rest or switch to a gentler activity. Listen to your body and adapt your movement to how you're feeling on the day.
