Monthly Challenge: A Lil' Bit of Lunge Leg Challenge

So who couldn't use a little reminder that lunges are a toned tushie's best friend? Here's a challenge to get you rolling! Don't forget... these challenges are meant to be in addition to all the fun of your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). You can also stack the challenges from previous months!

Here are a few notes about the exercises:

• Walking Lunges - Just that! Keep walking as you lunge forward. However, don't use momentum on your next lunge. Stop at the top and then extend your other leg.
• Step Through Lunges - Essentially the same as a walking lunge but with these you get to use momentum! As you bring your legs together, the leg that you are stepping on to do your next lunge with come up to your chest and then down in the lunge.
• Kickout Lunges - Again, these are walking lunges but as you step up, straighten your back leg, essentially kicking your leg out, and squeeze for 5-10 seconds each time.
• Forward Lunge with a Pulse - Walking lunges, but as you are in the lunge, go slightly deeper, hold for 2 seconds and back up.

Here's the actual challenge:

Good luck!

Ever wondered how you sculpt the perfect chest and front of your shoulders at home? No worries, we are here to help! All you need for the Push (Up) Your Way to a Perfect Chest Challenge is yourself and a bench or elevated platform - you can even use a stair!

For the purposes of the challenge, we define the following:

• Almost-There Push Up - Arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind, core engaged and pulled in, utilizing knees
• Push Up - The Classic Push Up - Arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind to feet, core engaged and pulled in
• Incline Push Up - Hands on elevated platform, arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind to feet, core engaged and pulled in
• Decline Push Up - Arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind to feet, core engaged and pulled in, feet on elevated platform

This challenge was designed to be something that you do in addition to your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). We have 4, 6, and 12 week workout plans for all fitness levels!

If you can do a "Classic" Push Up, challenge yourself to replace the Almost-There Push Ups with regular Push Ups.

Note: Please do not begin any workout routine before consulting a physician to ensure you are healthy enough to exercise.

"Perfect Your Core" Plank Challenge

We will be posting pictures of the exercises soon in case you need a refresher on what some are. With regular planks, just hold your abs in and make sure that your behind is not up in the air and your stomach is not sagging - you want a continuous line from the top of your head to your heels.
