Join The Rapides Foundation Get Healthy Cenla Challenge, a daily challenge designed to encourage people to improve their nutrition and physical activity. Our goal is for everyone to eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a day, five days a week. 

The May Challenge Calendar is filled with fitness and nutrition tips to help you work toward your health goals. May is National Physical Fitness & Sports Month, so try to schedule 30 minutes of your day for physical activity. The calendar offers a daily exercise workout to try during the month of May. The nutrition focus of the calendar provides tips for an overall healthier diet in order to keep your body fueled and give you more energy throughout the day.

You can click here to see videos about how to eat healthier, simple exercises you can add to your workout, and tips for proper walking techniques on our YouTube channel. Links to all of these resources are also in the "More Links" section below this article. 

The challenges on our calendar are prepared by trained staff in our CMAP Healthy Lifestyle Program. They are designed to be simple and realistic. If you find the challenges too easy, try doubling the amounts. If they are too hard, don't worry. Do what you can, and have fun!
