Training

Follow the instructions in your daily plan to complete the exercises at home. The exercises suit all levels of fitness and you don’t need any equipment. It can take as little as 5 minutes a day.

Throughout the month the exercises will gradually become more challenging. Each week ends with a fun, optional mini-workout using the exercises you’ve learned.

To get the most out of your Strong Woman Challenge, we’d also recommend looking at your nutrition. Eating enough protein will help you get stronger faster. We’ve put together some nutrition tips to get you started.
