Reach (for Spring) March Challenge

March 1, 2016February 22, 2016Leave a comment

Happy March (rabbit rabbit!) Let’s hope that Spring weather is just around the corner, but until then, let’s reach for it! This unique move works your core like no other and requires zero equipment. From all fours, reach your right arm out straight ahead and your left leg straight behind you. This requires core strength and balance to keep your body stable. Bend your right arm and your left leg in towards your center to touch (or as close as they come) to further engage your abs. Reach them back out straight and then place them back down on the ground. Repeat with the left arm and right leg. This is one repetition. Alternate and follow the calendar below. Just save, print, or pin the image below and reach for spring. By the time bikini season arrives, you’ll be glad that you took on this challenge!

October Plank-Touch Challenge

October 1, 2015September 29, 2015

Happy October! The month of pumpkins, apple picking, boots, and plank-touches. What’s a plank-touch, you ask? Great question! It’s the perfect exercise to engage your entire core. To perform a plank touch, get in a plank position with hands on ground, shoulder-width apart and legs straight, wider than hip-width apart. While balancing and keeping hips even, (which will fire up your abs) touch one shoulder with opposite hand. Put that hand back down on the ground and repeat on the other side. Alternate sides while keeping core stable. You may keep your knees on the ground if you cannot stay balanced/stable and rest on knees for 10 seconds between sets (beginning on the 19th.) This one move will strengthen your shoulders, arms, abs, back, chest, glutes, and more, so commit to plank-touching ’til Halloween. Just save, print, or pin the image below and take on the challenge!

September 1, 2015August 31, 2015

It’s time to bridge into September. This new fitness challenge will work your glutes, lift your butt, engage your core, and strengthen your hamstrings with one simple move. To perform a bridge, lie on your back with hands by your side, palms up. Bend your knees with feet flat on the floor. Engage your glutes and push through your heels to lift hips straight off the floor. At the top of your bridge, glutes are highly engaged, but back is straight at an angle. Lower hips and repeat the movement. Get ’em done before you get out of bed, while you’re watching TV, or throughout the day.

Start LOW with just four kicks (two on each side) to prevent injury and work your way higher and higher as the month progresses. Just print or pin the calendar and get your kick on all December long!

November Jumping Jack Challenge

November 1, 2014November 1, 2014Leave a comment

We’re going back to the basics this month with the ever famous jumping jack! Don’t estimate the power of the jumping jack, there’s a reason it’s still around! Jumping jacks get the heart rate up, working the cardiovascular system while warming up the whole body, top to bottom! We’re all familiar with how to execute the jumping jack, just be sure to get some air and land softly, decreasing impact on the knees. Perform your jacks at a speed that is maintainable, but gets you breathing heavily by the end. Work your way up. If you need a break, take one, but keep going if you can, yes all the way to 100! If you do your jacks in the morning, you’ll get them out of the way and get your metabolism going for the day! Print, pin, save the calendar below and get jumping and jacking today!

One Healthy Breakdown: commit to 100 jacks by December and you’ll ring in the holidays right!
