Spring is upon us! Are you ready to commit/recommit to your fitness goals? Are you ready to make lots of progress this Spring and celebrate your success this summer? Join our 30 Day Exercise Accountability Challenge, April 1-30, 2021, and let’s hold each other accountable.
This is a challenge that EVERYONE can participate in, regardless of your level of fitness. How? You get to choose your exercise routine! Walking, running, weight training, HIIT, Zumba, yoga, etc.
Be Accountable for your fitness goals
Visit our Facebook page or Instagram account every evening and leave a comment to join the daily check-in, April 1-30th. The post will appear at 6:30 pm EST. (If you work out in the evening, check-in after you’ve completed your workout.)
No signup required! All we are asking you to do is work out at least five days a week and join our daily check-in for accountability.
- Download this month’s Daily Tracking Calendar.
Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes per workout. - Active Rest Days: On your rest days, take 15-20 minutes to stretch, do yoga, do pilates, or take a relaxing walk. Do something physical but relaxing.
- Work at your own pace, but challenge yourself to work hard as well.
- Stay hydrated: Drink at least 64 oz of water each day. (If you drink much more than that or much less due to medical limitations (due to kidney issues or other ailments), that’s fine. Do what works for you.
- Do what works for YOU: Work out more than five days a week if that is your usual routine. If you can only work out for 2-3 days a week, commit to that. You know your level of fitness. We don’t want anyone to hurt themselves or risk injury just to reach the “5 Days a Week” goal. Again, it’s very important that you choose a goal and a workout routine that fits your current fitness level.
What should you eat during this challenge? If you have a nutrition plan/diet that is working for you, stick with it. If you don’t have a plan, start with the basics – Clean up your eating habits and eat more healthy, whole foods. If you would like to learn how to cut out processed food and fast food while not feeling deprived, read our helpful E-Book, “Clean Eating for Wellness and Weight Loss“.
