Sunday: (you have two choices):

  1. Continue with the same pattern (your days of the week won't be the same, since a week has an odd number of days, so you'll have to either remember what you did the previous day or set a calendar reminder)
  2. Take day of rest, but do go for a walk / jog and resume the routine on Monday.

This is meant to be flexible and not competitive, but if you're looking to keep track of your progress, by all means keep a record. (We'd love to hear about your progress!)

The goal is to keep this up for 90 days (basically until the very end of the year) and who knows, you may adapt this as a regular routine!

Already have a workout routine? Try incorporating some of this challenge.

As with any exercise, know your limits, know your max heart rate if necessary and don't expect results overnight if that's your goal. It takes over five weeks for your muscles, your brain and your body as a whole to get used to a new routine.

Don't forget to have fun!
