Thank you again to all individuals and teams for participating in ACE’s 4th Annual Congressional Fitness Challenge, and to MoveSpring, for making the technology to power this walking challenge.

Although this year’s challenge is over, it doesn’t mean that Congress can’t keep getting steps in and staying active. The ACE Exercise Library and ACE Walking Toolkit has thousands of movements and workouts to increase or supplement your walking; and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Active People Healthy Nation website provides information on how to get your group or community more active.

ACE is always a resource for any member of Congress looking to learn more about increasing physical activity their community, and proud to be able to provide teams with a reason to get moving in a structured way while still having fun.
