A 30-day reset for January

A month is long enough to build a habit and short enough to finish. The wheel offers challenges such as a 20-minute daily walk, no added refined sugar, 15 minutes of reading a day or a morning cold shower. Spin and commit for thirty days.

Tell friends, and invite someone to join you. Track each day on a calendar so you can see your streak.

Being realistic

Choose a challenge that suits your health, and check with a doctor if it affects diet or exercise. If you miss a day, continue. Several people can spin together and share progress each week.
