Navy MWR Fitness wants you to get out, get active, and celebrate May as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. Each week in May, you can participate in and complete a new challenge in one session or throughout the week. Each challenge includes the exercises and warm-up and cool-down recommendations. The challenges are designed so you can participate with or without weights or resistance.
The fitness challenges are:
