STRONGER with SELF Challenge: Final Thoughts

A few weeks ago, we joined the STRONGER with SELF challenge (link to our post) because we wanted to add something different to our fitness routines. Four weeks quickly passed and we’re at the end of the challenge. Neither of us actually finished the workouts – Juliet did not because she was on vacation for almost half the month of May, and Annie did not because she got lazy.

Nevertheless, we wanted to give our two cents on the challenge. 

STRONGER with SELF Challenge: Modifying for Our Lifestyles

As much as we’d like to follow the Stronger with SELF Challenge to the T, there were several times since the start of this challenge where both of us had to modify the challenge to fit our lifestyles. It’s okay. The only thing we care most about is to move and get your exercise in whenever you can and however you can.

STRONGER with SELF Challenge: Week 1 Update

We are in the midst of Week 2 of the SELF Challenge, and wanted to check in with you guys.

Truth time: After we saw the workout, we thought that this challenge would be easy. But after the first day, we realized we were very wrong. Both of us have seen and done these exercises before, but the difference is that we go at our own pace and count our exercises by the number of reps. Now that we’re trying to doing as many reps (using good form!) in the allotted time, we definitely feel the burn.

Check out some of our favorite moves from week one and some of the ways we modified the workout!
