Fit for the Front Line: A Fitness Challenge to Support the Nation’s Front Line Workers

#FitForTheFrontLine is a national fitness challenge created by Mount Sinai Health System to show appreciation for front line workers.

Fitness activities can range from dedicating a walk around the block, cycling for 60 minutes, or doing a 30 minute meditation. Just use the hashtag #FitForTheFrontLine on social (Twitter, Instagram) and choose a local hospital below to show your support.

And follow along over the next two weeks as NBC New York's reporters and anchors join in the challenge.

This week I’m challenging myself to run 5k each day & I want you to join me. If our front line workers can put in extra effort, so can we! Let’s get Fit For The Front Lines Together.
