The 1km challenge

If you've never run before, just try to keep running for as long as you can. For everyone else, use a GPS-enabled device or Google Maps to identify your 1km route. Be sure to jog for at least 10mins to warm up your muscles first and spend a couple minutes doing dynamic movements such as high knees and butt kicks.

You have five minutes to complete as many rounds as you can of the following: 10 x press-ups, 10 x squats, 10 x burpees. Share your score with the #UnityChallenge hashtag, but don't quit now. Stick with this weekly routine and keep a record of your scores to see how you progress over the weeks.
