Good morning Steemit!

This week was the last week in the 'classic' weekly Steemit Health Challenge. Next week we're going to start trying some new challenges out. Are there any health challenges that you think would be really fun to join in with? Let me know in the comments below!

This is still one of my favourite challenges because it gives such flexibility for different activities and creativity. It's a great way to become inspired about different activities to keep you fit and healthy!

The Winners this week!

Once again, our panel of judges and myself have looked through all of the entries and taken time to try and work out our favourites. Here you'll find the winners and also some honourable mentions! Without further ado, let's look at which entries came 1st, 2nd and 3rd this week.

1st Place wins 30 Steem

Hive account@glennoloa gets out on his bikes!

Hive account@glennolua shows us some amazing scenery that he saw on his road bike and on his mountain bike. The thing we loved about this post was the mix of beautiful natural scenery that inspires us all to go out and explore in nature on the bike, but also some of the technical data from the bike rides which show how you can enjoy activity by competing against yourself to become fitter and better. A great example!

2nd Place wins 10 Steem

Hive account@street.yoga goes hiking and yoga in the woods

Hive account@street.yoga is back again and posting some beautiful blogs for the challenge. The thing we loved was the additional videos that he provides to show the yoga practice that he enjoys to keep him active and shows you can do it anytime, anywhere. Here, in the beauty of nature, the practice of yoga looks so peaceful and relaxing - great entry once more!

3rd Place wins 5 Steem

Hive account@roselyn26 runs and gyms and yogas!

A lovely entry from Hive account@roselyn26 gives us lots of different ideas about staying active and healthy. This is a post about overcoming challenges and difficulties in life and staying active to help overcome those physical and mental challenges of stress and loss. The mix of photos, gifs and different activities was very inspiring. Thank you for sharing such personal stories with us all!

There were some great entries this week so I wanted to do a few shout outs to some of the other entries who also came close to winning.

It's very important that you go and support the honourable mentions each week. They could be you and your vote and your comments are very important to the content creators. You'll be massively inspired by their posts and can help build health in this community. Hive account@felixrodriguez has won more honourable mentions than anyone else in this challenge, he is a pure inspiration to all family men and I am always happy to see him making time to keep his family active. Hive account@kutrulaju presents us with a number of different activities that they enjoy to keep healthy and happy and I loved the inspiration for many different activities! Last but not least, Hive account@jacksartori tells us about how he used to stay fit and active before he got sick. I loved this post for its diversity and I hope you get well soon my friend!
