Exercise is good for your body and mind!
Working out regularly has been shown to have many health benefits, both physically and mentally.
In fact, just 30 minutes of daily moderately intense exercise reduces the risk of early death by 19%.
Whether for a longer life, cardiovascular health, or losing weight and getting a rockin' hot body, working out can bring about an amazing transformation to your overall life.
But I know it's always easier said than done. That is why we created this 30-day fitness challenge.

Contract your abdomen by pulling in your belly button towards your spine, and flex your quads and glutes. Bend your elbows to lower your body down until your chest nearly touches the floor.
Quickly straighten your arms to push yourself back up to the plank position, lift your left arm off the floor and straighten it as you rotate your torso to the left until you're balancing your body on your right hand and your left is pointing towards the ceiling.
Pause and return to the plank position and do another pushup, rotating to your right side. Perform the prescribed number of repetitions per side.
Lie down on your right side on a yoga mat with your legs straight.
Contract your abdomen by drawing your belly button in towards your spine, and prop upper body up on your right elbow and forearm.
Lift your hips off the floor until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to ankles. Hold as directed, then switch sides and repeat on the other side.
Grab the handles with your thumbs and index fingers, with a comfortable but firm grip. Keep your elbows close to your sides.
Make small circles with your wrists as you turn the rope. Keep your body relax and look straight ahead.
Only jump high enough to clear the rope. As you jump the rope should touch the surface slightly.
Stand up tall with your chest up, shoulders back, abs tight and feet hip-width apart
Keeping your upper body straight, shift your weight to one foot, step backward with your right foot and lower into a lunge position.
Pause, then push yourself back up to the starting position as quickly as you can. Do the prescribed number of repetitions.
Lie on your stomach and draw your belly button toward your spine to tighten your abs. Keep your legs straight, arms stretched out over your head, and palms facing each other
Contract your glutes, arch your back and raise your arms and legs.
Hold for 1-2 seconds and slowly lower them down to the floor. Do the prescribed number of repetitions.
This exercise engages just about every muscle attached to your hips including the abs and core.
Lie on your back on a yoga mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your feet hip-width apart, heels 6 inches from your butt. Gently contract your abdominal muscles to flatten your low back into the floor. Attempt to maintain this gentle muscle contraction throughout the exercise.
Gently exhale. Keep the abdominal engaged and lift your hips up off the floor all the way up so your knees, hips and shoulders form a straight line. Press your heels into the floor for added stability.
Pause for 1-2 seconds at the top and then slowly lower yourself back to your starting position.?
Tips: Avoid pushing your hips too high, which can cause hypertension (arching) in your low back. Keeping your abdominal engaged to helps to prevent excessive arching in the low back.
Though 30-day challenges should be challenging, they shouldn't be insanely out of your fitness level or increase your risk of injuries (like many popular 30-day workout challenges do...).
This challenge was designed to challenge you but also to gradually build your strength as you progress over the 30 day period, so you will have enough strength to complete the challenge at the end.
By increasing the set counts rather than upping rep counts, you won't have to sacrifice your form and quality when performing each exercise.
Congratulations!
