Get Fit For It ~ Friday's Challenge

Hi Everyone!

We made it through another work week !!! Congrats to everyone and all the hard work that has been done so far this week. I hope you all have nice weather like we do! It is the perfect day to get outside and have some fun!

Today, we have a challenge for you that you can do anywhere, whether it is in your office or outside the building or at home. Try doing this challenge in addition to your normal routine for the day.

Are you fit for it?

The Challenge: 3 minutes of plank. Plank can be done on your forearms or hands making sure that your shoulders are directly over your elbows or hands respectively. Make this your own challenge. We are all at different levels - break up the time and adjust accordingly keeping it a challenge for yourself without overdoing it. If you can only hold for 30 seconds at a time - try to get 6 sets of 30 seconds throughout the day.




Reminder: Plank can be performed on your knees rather than your toes. (Look at the photo to see the variations) Also, pay close attention to your form and make sure your body remains in a straight line from your feet or knees to your hips to your head.


Good luck and I hope this helps start your weekend off well!



The two of us are heading to NJ this weekend for the Ultimate Mud Run. We are excited to do our first night mud obstacle race. When we get back, we will give you all our report on how it went!

Stay Strong, Be Tough and Have Fun!

Challenge Accepted,
D & K
