Join the Woman Challenge!

The Office on Women's Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services started the Woman Challenge in 2001 as a part of National Women's Health Week to encourage women across the country to get active. This year, we're partnering with the President's Challenge to reach even more people. Join our group and be part of a nationwide effort to get women and girls moving!

Did you know?

Women should get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate physical activity, 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous physical activity, or a combination of both, each week. Children and adolescents should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity daily.

The Office on Women's Health is supporting the Million PALA Challenge of the President's Challenge, a program of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, by encouraging participants and supporters of the Woman Challenge group to be physically active on a regular basis. The Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA) is a great way to get recognized for your accomplishment. All it takes is an almost daily commitment to physical activity for 6 out of 8 weeks. Stick with the program and you will earn an award in less than two months.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up today!
