Rainbow Leisure Centre, the local fitness club in Middlesbrough, has an exciting event to keep you on track with your fitness goals during the festive season. Introducing the Walking In A Winter Wonderland – Step Challenge!
This December, test your step-counting skills and see how many steps you can clock up. Increasing your daily steps is not only a great way to boost your overall activity levels but also to enhance your fitness and well-being. Connect your Fitbit or Misfit device to your profile for automatic step tracking, or simply add a 'walking' activity to your planner and track your steps manually.
But that's not all! We understand that the holiday season brings with it an abundance of delicious food and tempting treats. That's why we've created the Christmas Calorie Countdown challenge. With mince pies, chocolates, Christmas parties, and that indulgent Christmas dinner, it's easy to consume excess calories. The challenge is to burn off as many calories as you can this December. Log your activities in your fitness planner to keep track of your progress and stay accountable.
Looking to end the year on a high note? Join our Run Into The New Year challenge! See how many running miles you can complete during December to propel yourself into the New Year of 2024. All running activity counts, whether you track it using a connected device like Fitbit, Strava, or MapMyRun or add a running distance manually in your planner.
If cycling is more your thing, we've got a challenge for you too! Introducing the Cycle The Christmas Lights Challenge. With Christmas lights illuminating streets all over the country, celebrate the festive spirit by cycling the 255-mile distance between the famous Regent's Street lights in London to the Blackpool Illuminations this December. Whether you track your cycling activity using a connected device or manually add your cycling distance in your planner, every bit of cycling counts towards this challenge.
For our swimmers, we have a challenge that will push your limits and make a splash. Get ready to Swim The English Channel! This iconic 22-mile stretch of water between Dover and Calais can be conquered entirely in the pool. Take up the challenge and aim to complete this distance by 31st December 2023. Track your swimming activity using a connected device or simply add your swim distance manually in your planner.
So, Rainbow Leisure Centre invites you to take on these fitness challenges and make the most of the festive season by staying active and having fun. Join the events, track your progress, and celebrate your achievements. Let's stay fit and motivated together!
