Why Accountability Matters:

1. Motivation: Challenges create a sense of community and competition that keeps everyone motivated.
2. Consistency: Regular check-ins and updates help maintain a routine and encourage consistent effort.
3. Support: Being part of a group provides support and encouragement, making it easier to overcome obstacles.

SMART Goal for the Pushup Challenge:

1. Specific: Our goal is to complete a pushup challenge. Each participant aims to increase their pushup count by the end of the month.
2. Measurable: Track the number of pushups you can do at the beginning, middle, and end of the challenge.
3. Achievable: Set a realistic number of pushups to increase each week based on your current fitness level.
4. Relevant: This challenge is directly tied to improving upper body strength and overall fitness, which are crucial as we age.
5. Time-bound: The challenge will run for the entire month, with weekly check-ins to monitor progress.

How to Host Your Own Challenge:

1. Invite Participants: Get your family, friends, and fitness class involved.
2. Set Clear Goals: Outline what you aim to achieve and how participants can track their progress.
3. Create a Schedule: Plan regular check-ins and updates to keep everyone on track.
4. Provide Support: Encourage participants, share tips, and celebrate milestones together.
