12 Days of FitMas: The Challenge
Day 1: One 30-Second Wall Sit
Start off strong with a 30-second wall sit. Hold that position for a solid 30 seconds, and feel the burn in your legs and core. It’s the perfect way to kick off the FitMas challenge!
Day 2: Two Minutes of Planking
Engage your core with a full-body plank hold for 2 minutes. This move will strengthen your entire body, focusing on your abs, shoulders, and arms.
Day 3: Three Sets of 10 Push-Ups
Get your upper body moving with three sets of 10 push-ups. Push-ups work your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core, making them a great full-body exercise.
Day 4: Four Sets of 15 Squats
Tone your legs and glutes with four sets of 15 squats. Keep your form in check, and don’t forget to breathe as you squat low and drive through your heels to stand back up!
Day 5: Five Minutes of Jumping Jacks
Jumping jacks are a classic cardio exercise that gets your heart rate up while working your arms, legs, and core. Five minutes of jumping jacks will get you moving and energized!
Day 6: Six Sets of 30-Second High Knees
Get your heart pumping with high knees. Perform 30 seconds of high knees for six sets. This exercise boosts your cardiovascular endurance while targeting your core and legs.
Day 7: Seven Minutes of Crunches
Engage your core with seven minutes of crunches. Work your abs and lower back by doing crunches, alternating between regular and bicycle crunches to keep it fun and challenging.
Day 8: Eight Sets of 10 Burpees
Burpees are a full-body exercise that builds strength and stamina. Complete eight sets of 10 burpees, and don’t forget to keep your pace steady. These are great for a full-body challenge!
Day 9: Nine Minutes of Cycling (or Jogging in Place)
Hop on your bike or cycle indoors. If you don’t have a bike, just jog in place for 9 minutes. This is a great way to boost your cardio endurance and keep your legs toned.
Day 10: Ten Minutes of Biceps Curls (Alternating after 10 Reps)
Grab a pair of dumbbells (or a household item like water bottles) and perform 10 minutes of biceps curls. Alternate arms after every 10 reps to keep your muscles working evenly.
Day 11: Eleven Sets of 15 Lunges
Lunges are fantastic for strengthening your legs, glutes, and core. Perform 15 lunges on each leg for 11 sets, and feel the burn in your legs and glutes!
Day 12: Twelve Minutes of Core Workout (Planks, Crunches, Leg Raises)
End the challenge with a full core workout! Mix planks, crunches, and leg raises to work your entire core. Twelve minutes of core work will have you feeling stronger and more confident heading into the new year.
