31 Days of Fitness Challenge

How is it already almost 2018?! Blows. my. mind.

We can't start a new month, definitely not January, without a new workout challenge! This one is a little different than what we normally post. I want to encourage you to move every single day of the month. You have designated strength training, cardio, yoga/walk, and rest days included in the challenge. If you are doing any of our workout plans you are already covered (as long as you follow it!). We always recommend having a workout plan in order to meet your goals (find out why here) but if you don't you can choose your own strength training and cardio workouts (we have a ton of free resources for those!).

The goal here is to make exercise a habit. I don't want you to go so hard in January that you get hurt or lose interest by the time February rolls around (I've seen it happen over and over again!). Make exercise a daily habit and something that you look for in the normal routine of your day (taking the stairs, parking far away, etc.). It's also important to switch things up, which is the reason we have different forms of exercise listed. You don't need to run every single day, keep your body guessing by incorporating different exercises!

Be sure to check out all of our other challenges here. We have weight lifting, cardio, and core challenges galore! Tag us on Instagram and use the hashtag #heandsheeatclean so we can follow along!

Save $1,000 in 3 Months

It's time for another money saving challenge! We've shared six money-saving challenges so far but you can never have too many. ;-) With this challenge, you will save $1,000 in 3 months! This is a very aggressive money saving challenge so if you are looking for something for a beginner you should check out this beginner 6-month money challenge instead.

For the first 4 weeks, you will save $70 each week, for the next 4 weeks you will save $80 per week, and for the final 4 weeks, you will save $100 per week. This will bring you to a total of $1,000 over 3 months (or 12 weeks).

How are you going to save this much money? It's simple but not easy. Check out our money saving tips to meet your goals!

Thanksgiving Day to New Year's Day Workout Challenge

I've never released a challenge specifically for this time frame but I'm super excited to do so! I know that this is a very busy time of year so this challenge will not take very much time. While I would like for you to be doing this in addition to your normal workouts (we have quite a few...wink wink) if this is the only thing you have time for it is better than nothing! The goal here is to just get into the habit (or keep the habit) of working out.

There are two workout plans that I would suggest for this time of year if you are looking for something more structured. One is our Busy Body 4-Week Workout Plan. You will only spend 3 days a week in the gym (or your home workout space) for 40 minutes or less! Learn more here.

Another one is our She Sweats Extreme 4-Week Shred. This one is a little bit more advanced so it is not recommended for beginners. This plan is focused on strength training and HIIT in a circuit-based workout. The four weeks are structured to optimally shed fat and help retain the muscle you have worked so hard to build. Learn more here.

For 40 days, from Thanksgiving Day to New Year's Day, you have two challenges to do each day. They can even be split up if you prefer. The cardio challenge is just ONE mile of any type of cardio you choose to do. In a perfect world, you would be doing these outside to get the benefit of being in the fresh air and you would be switching things up and doing different types of cardio but I understand that can be hard sometimes. The core challenge is also the same each day, you hold a regular plank, with good form for as long as possible. As I mentioned, the goal here is just to get moving or keep moving through the holidays but I've also included a "notes" section on each so you can record your mile time and plank time if you would like to try and improve those over the course of the challenge. You could also use this column to check off each day that you complete the challenge!
