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.
Here were some of the reasons we chose to modify the challenge so far:

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!

We signed up for the Stronger With SELF Challenge. It’s a fun 28-day fitness program for all ages and fitness levels that includes a workout calendar and food recipes. The cool thing about these workouts is they’re all bodyweight exercises, so you can do them anywhere. They can also easily be modified to increase or decrease level of difficulty. If you’re looking to try something new because you’re getting bored of your own workouts or you want an added challenge on top of what you are already doing, then join us and sign up for this challenge! (NOT SPONSORED lol) It started yesterday on April 30th, so it’s not too late!

The Beginning
I have always been a physically active person. Ever since I could remember, I loved to play outside with my older brother (of course playing “house” indoors was also a favorite activity of mine). I joined the cross country team in eighth grade, and then soccer and touch rugby teams in high school. However, throughout high school, I never felt like physically, I looked in shape. I thought my lower body and arms were too big. It wasn’t always a big insecurity of mine until I had trouble finding clothes that fit me (usually pants). After high school, the only exercise I got was through playing intramural and pick up soccer once in a while. Fast forward to 2014 summer, after I drank and ate my way through my study abroad program in London, I decided it was time to get my butt back into shape.
