New Challenge! Choose Your Own Fitventure: Week ONE!

By

Welcome to the Fueled Life’s latest challenge! For this challenge, I really wanted you to have the flexibility to decide what task you want to tackle on whatever day works for you. I know that life is busy, so sometimes me dictating what the challenge will be each day just won’t work for you. So, with this challenge, you choose the challenge and the day you want to complete it.

Each week you’ll receive 5 challenges to complete within seven days. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to get all five challenges done by Sunday night.

One challenge per day. No double-dipping. The purpose is to help you maintain focus on your health and fitness for at least five days this week.

So, take a look at the daily challenges and schedule your week. What day are you going to tackle the 100’s challenge? Hydration? The workout? Ooh la laaaaaa…so many options!

Here are this week’s Choose Your Own Fitventures:

Get out your calendar and get to planning, my friends! Are you in? Will you join me on this two-week challenge! Above is Week One…next Monday you’ll receive the next week’s challenges!

If you haven’t already, please join my challenge group. Just CLICK HERE to join and you’ll become a member of my Fueled Life crew where we’ll motivate and encourage you to get these done. We also have a whole shwack of accountability to throw at you, too!

Thanks for being a part of this! I truly love creating these challenges for you…now…let’s GET TO WORK! Off you go!

Second last day of our challenge and I sure hope you’re still with me! Remember…these are just 5-minute sessions, so schedule this important 5-minute meeting with yourself and get it done!

If you’re up for the challenge, you can string all of the workouts from Day 1 through 6 together and end up with a full-body 30-minute workout. Or, choose your favorite days and create your own workout duration and focus.

GAH! I just love exercise.

Anywho, Day 6 our focus is on your core. The key to good core exercises is to start each movement by engaging your transverse abdominals – those are the deep, deep, deep abdominal muscles. To do this, think about gently pulling your pelvic floor upwards and engaging the muscles on the inside of your right and left hip bones. This contraction should feel like a gentle tension and not contract so hard that your belly pops out.

Here’s the workout for the day:

Remember, there are multiple ways for you to get through this workout. You can listen to the workout via my podcast, Dig Deep with Dr. Lindsay Gee (just click the play button above) or you can save this graphic to your phone/tablet, set a timer for 5 minutes and get through all these exercises as many times as possible in 5 minutes.

If you’re unsure what some of the exercises are, have no fear, I’ve got you covered in the how-to video below. 🙂 (old school winky faces still make me happy).

There you have it, party people! Day 6 of your challenge with lots and lots of core fun!
