According to WHO, “Health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.”
On 24th March, 2020, the Government of India announced a 21 day lockdown to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. People all over the country were confused and helpless.
There was a sense of impatience everywhere. To ensure physical and mental well-being, we at Switch India, came up with the 30 days Burpees challenge which lasted from 28th March, 2020 to 26th April, 2020.
We started with 1000+ enthusiastic souls from 16+ cities & 8+ states who gave it a try and 400+ successfully completed the challenge.
What started with just 10 burpees on Day 1, ended with challenging 60 burpees on Day 30!
The advantages of doing a Burpee are:-
Our finishers were from various fields like medical students, engineering students, physiotherapists, fitness instructors, dance instructors, MBA students, company secretaries, teachers, doctors, and many more such enthusiastic achievers who found time and not excuses.
Each participant of our Burpee family posting “Done” on the group, as per our tradition, motivated the fellow participants and also reminded them of doing the exercise throughout the day so that nobody misses it.
We kept motivating our participants by some daily motivation images which was appreciated by most of them. We were overwhelmed by the feedback responses which we received on the penultimate day of the challenge.
Finally, the consistent ones received an e-reward adding joy to their efforts. But, the real achievement was the body transformation due to the burpees that was experienced by the consistent performers.
The smiling faces on our collage keep inspiring us to again and again come up with such fitness challenges… We will be back soon with another fresh fitness initiative. Till then keep exercising & stay fit.
