Do it better – Fitness Challenge

It has been a tough year for everyone. Lots of stress, uncertainty, forced lifestyle habits… Most of us can say that we have paid a physical or mental toll in one way or another. So, let´s start 2021 the right way. The main goal for this year should be to do it better than the last one.
 
I hear a lot of excuses about why people can’t start or maintain a fitness routine. “I don’t have access to a gym”. “I don’t have enough time”. “I wouldn’t know where to start”. I get it. Those are all real concerns.
 
This challenge is designed to help you improve… your productivity! As we explained earlier, exercise improves your productivity (focus, memory, decision making…). These workouts will lift your mood, your energy level, and how you think that very same day. Of course, you’ll also notice your fitness level is increasing, and see some muscle definition while giving yourself a solid exercise foundation as you get into 2021. The challenge will begin on Monday, January 4th.

The Challenge

  • 4 weeks
  • 20 workouts
  • 40 exercises
We focus on just two group muscles per workout, through only 2 exercises. Really focused and specific workouts. Each workout is only 10-15 minutes long. Short and effective. Enough to get your muscles pumping, and at the same time, avoid fatigue so you can use the momentum to continue with your daily tasks.
 
These workouts are home based, using bodyweight or resistance band exercises so you don´t need too much equipment. 
 
You get step by step instructions on how to perform each exercise and a full workout follow-along video. We won´t repeat a single exercise in 4 weeks, meaning bye-bye boredom! Everyday is different.
 
From Monday to Friday you only need to find 15 minutes to dedicate yourself, forget for a moment what is happening around you and feel refreshed right after you finish.
 
There are 3 tips that will be helpful to keep in mind as you complete the challenge:
 
  1. Do workouts in the mornings if possible. If you struggle to find the time to work out, that´s the “secret”.
  2. Pick the right weights. In the videos for these, I’m using different resistance bands. When in doubt, though, go lighter. Make sure you can do the moves with correct form before increasing resistance.
  3. Don´t overthink. Whether you think you can or can´t do it, you´re right. Make no mistake, you Can do it. Don´t waste your time overthinking and just do it. You´re not too tired to do a 10 minutes workout, you´re not being late for taking 10 minutes to workout. On the contrary, you´ll feel better right after.

  1. Working out the morning has definitely helped me squeeze in a session no matter what I have going on in my day. That could very well be ‘the secret’ indeed. Thanks for sharing!

    1. Thank you for sharing your personal experience! I also workout in the morning during those periods I don´t feel motivated or overthink too much. I wake up, have breakfast, workout, and go on with my life :D

  2. Hi Chape! I’m definitely intrigued by this challenge, since I’ll be moving to a rural location tomorrow and will need ways to keep in shape that don’t use much equipment. Could you please let me know what sorts of resistance bands or other equipment would be best for this challenge? I’ll try to pick some up while I’m traveling so I can sign up for this challenge.

      1. Hi Chape! I’m in the U. S. state of Montana now, which is even more rural than Belize!

        I picked up some resistance bands, and I used them today! Your challenges definitely help me wake up in the mornings 😀

      2. I couldn’t imagine that Montana is more rural than Belize… The USA, what a country 😁
        Letting me know that the workouts are helping you made my day 🙏 Thanks!!!
