Wellness goal season is in full effect! Woohoo! With an endless amount of challenges flooding your timeline, you may find it hard to pinpoint what one you should actually do and will fit into your lifestyle best.
When choosing, you need to set a realistic goal, because if you decided to go for a challenge that sounds a little crazy and time consuming, chances are you won’t be able to finish it out all the way through and get discouraged. It’s important to start small, remember that you do have a life and whatever new exercise or routine you are following needs to fit into that seamlessly.
Now, if you are looking for a challenge that you can do anywhere, anyplace, and honestly at any time, then follow us! We’re going to take you on Sha’s 30 Day FitSHA AB Challenge like no other. Ready? Let’s do this!!
First, let’s start with why she decided to start this challenge. Sha got the CRAZY idea because she wanted to do MORE! Do more for all of us! But not only did she want to do more, she wanted to show everyone else how to make get to start . In our daily routines, times forget that it’s important to think about our health and wellbeing. Exercise, any form, is a great way to release all that built-up stress.
The Sha’s 30 Day FitSHA AB Challenge Back to Your Course AB Challenge was crafted as a way for everyone and anyone to undertake new challenges without putting too much added pressure on themselves and the challenge. Added bonus, it’s totally complimentary (right now) and you can do these workouts pretty much anywhere. And yes, we mean anywhere. So, go for it, do them in the office, while watching TV, on the Subway haha well, maybe not there but you get the point. We want YOU to have FUN doing this and Sha’s 30 Day FitSHA AB Challenge is the perfect amount of time to figure out if this routine will stick and become a new habit.
The challenge was developed with two sets of strength moves and one fat burner, all performed back to back in no less than 30 sets. We’re going to start it off slow, but just wait… you’re going to feel that BURN all over!!
