Open to people who use the Peloton bike, treadmill or fitness app, the challenge kicks off May 1.
New York—Jewelers for Children is launching a month-long fitness challenge to raise more money for the various children’s charities to which it donates.
The inaugural JFC Fitness Challenge starts on May 1.
Members of their industry as well as their friends and family members who use Peloton’s bike, treadmill or app will track how many days they exercise throughout the month and raise money through sponsorships.
Participants are encouraged to use the hashtag #GetFit4Kids as they share their month-long fitness journey on social media.
Prizes will be awarded at the end, JFC said.
To kick off the event, two pre-recorded bike, tread and strength workouts will be chosen for Sunday, May 1 at noon EDT/9 a.m. PDT.
