2025 Your healthier year - with monthly challenges

Sometimes, a small change in your daily routine can make a big difference. This year, there’s a monthly challenge designed to help live a little healthier, become fitter, and pay closer attention to the body’s signals.

The focus is on changing small habits – no pressure, no extremes, just practical and adaptable to everyday life. The best part? Everything can be done without special equipment and fits seamlessly into daily routines, whether at home, in the office, or on the go.

Why a Monthly Challenge?

A healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be complicated. Small steps are often the key to greater well-being. One month is enough to try out and maybe even establish a new habit. Each challenge aims to promote health and self-care – through movement, relaxation, nutrition, or mindfulness.

How It Works

At the start of each month, there’s a new task: a few minutes of movement, a focus on breathing, or a small adjustment in nutrition. The challenges are simple to implement and designed to be enjoyable.

The goal isn’t perfection but the sense of doing something good for oneself. Who knows – one of these monthly challenges might turn into a long-term habit that enhances life.

The January Challenge:Two Small Habits for More Movement

Kick off the year by changing two simple habits that can have a big impact on health:

1.Regularly Standing Up After Sitting Too Long

Sitting is often called the new smoking. Those who sit for long periods – whether at work or home – should make it a habit to stand up regularly. A timer or phone reminder can help, encouraging short breaks every 30 minutes for one to two minutes of light movement. A quick walk around the room or stepping in place can already boost circulation and reduce tension.

2.Stretching More Often for Increased Flexibility

Simple stretches throughout the day can work wonders. It’s not about performance or complicated movements but about feeling good in your body. Shoulder rolls, arm stretches, or leg stretches can relieve tension and recharge energy levels.
