Reach (for Spring) March Challenge

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!

January Twisting Challenge

Happy 2015!! This year, we’re stepping things up and twisting them out! Get ready to work your entire core with Russian Twists. To perform your twist, lie on your back with a light free-weight. Raise legs and upper body into a V-sit position (knees bent off the floor.) Hold weight with both hands and rotate upper body to one side, back through middle, and to the other side. Each number below should be performed on each side. Just print or pin this calendar and commit to challenging yourself and changing your core!
