Get ready to challenge yourself and feel the burn with a series of movements that will elevate your strength and stability. Our Day 1 routine features a blend of static and dynamic exercises to kickstart your challenge. You’ll engage in a wall sit, test your agility with toe taps, and reach for those toe touches. High knees will get your heart rate up, while bodyweight squats focus on form and depth. The bear crawl and supported lunges are perfect for building functional strength, and we’ll also incorporate chair squats for that extra stability work. Lastly, the dead bug exercise will ensure your core isn’t left out of the equation. To ensure you’re getting the most out of your workout, we’ll be following an interval-based circuit format. Each exercise will be performed vigorously for 40 seconds, pushing your muscles to their capacity. After each burst of activity, you’ll have a 20-second rest period to catch your breath and prepare for the next round. This approach not only helps in maintaining a high intensity throughout the session but also aids in burning calories and improving endurance.

Cool Down and Stretching
After completing your workout, it's crucial to follow up with an effective cool-down routine. Take a leisurely 5-minute walk around to gradually lower your heart rate and help your body recover. Alternatively, you can opt for static stretches to release muscle tension and improve flexibility.
This cool-down phase is essential for reducing post-workout soreness and promoting a sense of well-being, making it an important part of any exercise regimen.
