Six Week Health Challenge Week Two! (Win up to 560 Steem)
WEEK TWO of The Six Week Health Challenge #sixweekhealth
Hello Steemians. First of all WOW! You guys have got behind this challenge in a big way. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who joined in with week one and to those who supported it with comments, votes and encouragement. With your help we can spread health, fitness and happiness to thousands of people.
Here's how the Six Week Health Challenge works. Every single week I post a new challenge that will help you improve your health. Then it's up to you guys to get involved in the challenge by following the rules in this post! At the end of the week, the top four entries will be short listed for the final vote. Steem will then vote for your favourite entry and that Steemian will win sixty Steem! That means that every single week you could win sixty Steem, while getting healthier.
For a better idea of how the challenge works you can find details of the first week's challenge HERE. As a result of Week One, we now have a big database of healthy recipes that you can try - CLICK HERE FOR HEALTHY FOOD!. I still need your help for Week One - go and vote for your favourite recipe and they will be winning sixty Steem courtesy of myself and @sweetsssj.
Week Two Challenge
Go for a long walk (or run)

Last week, I asked you guys to try a new healthy recipe. This week, I want you to get out for a long walk (or run) at least once. You can get out and go anywhere. For Week Two's challenge you'll need to submit a post with photos and descriptions of of your walk! In the posts we are looking for either (or both) of the following:
1. The most interesting walks
We want to see pictures of different parts of your city or local countryside. Perhaps you find wildlife or can show us your favourite places to eat and hang out. Include as much diversity as you can and show off how interesting your walk (or run) was. Show us variety and teach us about the places you went on your journey.
2. The best photography from a walk
We want to see photos of stunning views, amazing architecture or arty shots of things you found and saw. These can be of sweeping landscapes, close up shots or anything in between - show us the amazing sights you saw with some beautiful photography.
Don't worry if you aren't the best photographer or don't have a great camera. Showing us the interesting walk or run that you went on is just as valued as beautiful photography. The goal is to get more people active and exercising and to inspire other Steemians to go and explore where they live while getting fit!

Anyone can go for a walk or a run. It's free and you can walk anywhere you like. It could be out in nature, around your local neighbourhood/city or going to see some beautiful buildings or sites. Walking has many benefits which include:
- Fitness

- Heart health
- Lung health
- Mental energy
- Improves mood
- Clears the mind
- Improves muscle strength
So there's no reason not to join in. Get entering and be in with your chance to win sixty Steem.

This is a great idea! Hoping we get some interesting photos, not just the outdoorsy ones either. If I were back in Melbourne, I'd do a long walk through all of the graffiti alleyways. Walking tour with art in the most livable city on Earth!.... miss that place.
Guess San Diego will have to do!
Absolutely love what you are promoting, it is not only about getting fit but also re-connecting with mother earth, We also need to nourish ourselves properly with what we eat.

Hey @celestialcow, great to have you on Steemit :D
I loved Melbourne when I visited, though a 24 hour delay on flights meant I only got to spend one day there. That would have been amazing to see more of the city. I'm sure San Diego has a lot to offer too :D Can't wait to see some photos from you mate!
You gotta make a trip back! Lived there for 2 years and am still looking for ways to move there.
For now, I'll focus on the route I usually take for runs in SD.... while dodging rattlesnakes!.jpg)
That definitely fulfils the category of 'interesting' :P
Hello @digitaldruid I have just read your reply to this great blog. It caught my eye as I have just returned home (to Brisbane) after visiting Melbourne for a day as part of a 10 day Aussie cruise. Walking through those amazing graffit alleyways was a fascinating highlight. It was just before Christmas and the streets were alive with action everywhere we looked. We made the most of every minute to take in the features which make this city a popular place to live or visit. I can understand why you would miss it. But San Diego must be a pretty cool place to live also? I just posted a blog about AC DC Way recently. Those Aussie pop stars have certainly received the stamp of approval by Melbournians with the honour of having this Lane named after them. Nice to meet you. Enjoy your travels. (Following.)
Hi Trudee! San Diego is great. Ideal weather, tons to do, great food, great beer. Sadly their sports scene is a bit lacking when compared to Melbourne... but then again, most cities are!
I may post about the street art in Melbs in the near future. Need to sort through my albums from when I lived there. Sadly I only spent a few hours in Brissy. Stop over on our way up the coast to Cairns.
So much to see. So much to do! Your enthusiasm for life is energizing and comes through in the way you write. Brissy has so many fabulous features......but don't get me started on that subject. I will enjoy checking your posts from time to time to get an appreciation of San Diego through your eyes. All the very best. TH
Thanks for getting involved in the community @trudeehunter :D I hope there will be loads of blogs of new places for everyone to explore through this challenge - to inspire us to get out and get healthy more often, and inspire us to travel more too ;)
Have a great day and if you get out for a walk this week, take some photos and join in with the challenge. Thank you for your enthusiasm
@healthsquared
Thank you @healthsquared for making contact. I think your health initiative is fabulous. I was out walking with my camera yesterday but with our extreme heat at the moment, I can’t do my usual route. Even at 5.30 in the morning the humidity is high. So I’m needing the motivation and I thank you for that. 😊 I will check the guidelines again and get motivated. Will resteem to get the word out. Following.
I'm better in the cold than in the heat so it's good that I'm in the Northern Hemisphere right now :p I lived in NZ for quite a while but that doesn't get too hot!
Hi everyone,
Thank you to everyone who has entered so far. You have a little over 41 hours to submit your entries (by 10.30am GMT on Friday 2nd).

3 Secret Super Foods That Make Fat Melt
Hell Yea!!! Are you smiling? You should be because the three superfoods that I am going to share with you are going to change your life and your thinking as it relates to weight loss.
These three items are far better than any pill, potion or lotion on earth!!! You will lose weight, have an abundance of energy and have the youthful vitality you had when you were a child.
But I am going to be honest with you.
Most foods in the western civilization are pure trash. Chemicals, GMOs, Pesticides, Herbicides, Larvaside and Fungicide are lurking in almost every meal you eat these days. But I have great news.
