The Fitness Challenge: #getfitwithgoogle
The New Year started with some sweat – I was competing for Google, in a fitness challenge launched in order to advertise their new Google Fit App. Here are the main facts of the challenge:
- 2500 participants worldwide
- Our heart points were measured with the Google Fit App
- Duration: 1-28 January
- Weekly results alway saw Switzerland sharing the top positions with Colombia
- I ended up in second position!
Can You Do It?
I am not a champion and can’t really excel in any sport. I simply move a lot. The Google challenge was more based on general fitness than on speed or top achievements. The idea is to encourage people to move and be healthy. My speciality, I would say!
During the 4 weeks of the challenge, all my steps and heart points were monitored. I run regularly, walked a lot with my puppy, around the house, or simply to go to places, did some gymnastic (at home and in the gym), went swimming and skiing – and I am very bad at these two sports. But I still did it, so I finally collected so many points that my rank was almost at the top. Considering most of the participants were half my age, I am delighted: I kicked a lot of ass 
Everybody can be fit without being a professional or a super young super muscular fitness junk. Moving regularly is the key. Wishing a happy and healthy 2019 to everybody!
