Challenge #2

By Team CariaPublished 29 August 2020Updated 30 August 20201 min read

Welcome to the new Caria Community Challenge! With lockdowns throwing all our routines out the window this year, you’re not alone if working out has become difficult. We know motivating yourself to stick to a routine can be hard, so we’ve created community challenges as a way for us all to do it together and support each other.

Every day this week, you’ll see a new workout that you can do at home with no equipment. Exercise is not just great for improving your health, it also has benefits for menopause. Research has found that some symptoms like hot flashes and joint pain can be reversed with short bursts of exercise. So join the challenge by voting below and starting your first workout session on the app home page!

This poll ran on the Caria community site and is now closed. The final results are below.

  • Inkala6 years ago

    Day 1 Wouldn’t load for me - did anyone else have this problem

    • Team Caria6 years ago

      Hi Inkala! There was a short period of time when the Day 1 link was down, but it should be working now. If you're running into any issues please reach out to us on support@hellocaria.com so we can troubleshoot for you! - Team Caria

    I used to go to a palates class once a week and as yet they have not returned and emailed to see if it was worth returning. I sincerely hope they do because my body is missing it badly. Don’t get me wrong, I hate excercise and clock watch the whole time but I now realise the real benefits. My body aches, my joints are stiff and instead of just turning 56 (On Saturday) I feel 86, not good guys. So yes I’m up for this challenge.

    Are the workouts available on subsequent days? I have not been on the app for a few days so have missed the challenge.

    • Team Caria6 years ago

    Hello, I am trying my best! So many things have been happening this week/month/year that I have for so many years kept hidden, which now are coming to my mind in every detail of each situation. The tingling of my fingers, memory loss, fatigue, medical issues that I have been dealing with since March 2012!
