Sign up for the 10-day 10-minute fitness challenge (it starts Monday!)

Could you use a little extra encouragement and motivation to move your body? I can! One of my goals for February is to do a better job of prioritizing working out. I set a goal to work out 10 minutes a day in January, but then I didn’t plan to get it done early… which meant that most days it didn’t get done!

In February, my goal is to get up a little earlier and get my workout in first thing in the morning — before my day starts. I’ve been experimenting with this plan this week and it’s making such a difference. In fact, I have gotten my workout in every single day this week!

To help myself have accountability and to stick with my plan, I decided to invite anyone who wants to join me for a 10-day, 10-minute fitness challenge! Here are the details:

We start on Monday (February 3, 2025) and it will run every weekday through February 14, 2025.
To join, just pick a 10-minute workout program or type of exercise you will commit to do for 10 minutes a day. (If you want to follow the plan I’m using, see below.)
Leave a comment below letting me know that you’re joining us and what workout program, exercise, or movement you are committing to do.
Follow me on Instagram and I’ll be posting a daily check-in post on stories after I complete my workout and will invite you to check-in and let me know you completed your workout, too. I can’t wait to cheer you on — and to have some extra accountability!

The 10-Minute Workout Program I’ll Be Doing

I’m going to use the 10 for 10 Challenge that is part of the many different workout programs and challenges offered through the Get Healthy U TV membership. You can get access to all of their workout programs and on-demand workout videos (they offer SO many different types of workouts!) for just $0.49 for an entire year!!

Once you sign up, just go to the challenges tab and look for the 10 for 10 Challenge. You can download a beginner or intermediate workout plan complete with videos walking you through the workouts every day. (All of the workouts are bodyweight workouts and you shouldn’t need any extra equipment!)

Go sign up for a one-year membership to Get Healthy U TV here and get the 10 for 10 Workout Challenge Program + many others for just $0.49!!
