If you are considering taking part in a virtual challenge this year, I'm sure you will want to know just exactly what you can expect to get out of it and why you should do it in the first place.
In the simplest terms possible, The Conqueror's virtual challenges are distance-based fitness challenges that transport you to virtual locations of your choosing. The route you choose will have specific milestones and virtual rewards for you to unlock on your journey.
Push your limits
Taking part in a virtual challenge helps you challenge how much you think you can do. It helps you increase your stamina and helps to build up your fitness far beyond where it is now.
The challenges are constructed in such a way as to have lots of mini-goals and milestones throughout the entire process. There isn't only one goal or one straight road to get there.
This means that you are kept unfailingly motivated throughout your virtual challenge. You can start off slowly and build up your stamina over whatever time-frame you yourself have picked.
Stay fit
It's hard to stay fit and stay in shape when you are a busy, working adult with lots of responsibilities.
With a virtual challenge, you can pick your distance, time-frame, and any activity you want to do to complete the challenge. You can run, walk, jog, swim, do aerobics, do yoga, go cycling, play squash, clean your house, do a HIIT workout, go horse riding, or do any other activity under the sun.
Virtual challenges give every kind of person with any kind of ability a chance to get fit, and to enjoy themselves while doing so.
Start a healthy lifestyle
Being healthy means making changes that you can stick to on a long-term basis.
Throughout your challenge, you will be able to track your progress on a real-life map. When you reach certain milestones, you will receive virtual postcards from significant places and landmarks.
For every 20% of your challenge that you complete, The Conqueror will plant one tree in your honor. This means that every challenger that completes a virtual challenge plants five trees.
Lose weight
When you are participating in a virtual challenge, losing weight will be a natural by-product of your progress. The steady work that you put in over time will help you get fit and lose weight naturally.
Overcome injury
Getting back into fitness after having an injury can be a daunting process. With any virtual challenge, you are free to take things at your own pace and work towards your goals whenever suits you.
You can progress with any activity that works for you and your body. Unlike other fitness programs, you aren't out of the game because there are things that you can't do.
