October Monthly Fitness Challenge Recap

Get Stretching!

Thank you to everyone who participated! You all look marvellous!

Monthly Fitness Challenge

Get Stretching!

This month's fitness challenge focuses on lunges!

Lunges are a great way to enhance strength and stability in your legs since you are forced to balance all of your body weight on one leg for a short period of time. Be sure not to let your knee come over your toes while lunging and keep your torso erect while looking ahead.

Lunges work the large muscle groups in your lower body, which builds lean muscle and reduces body fat. This can increase your resting metabolism, which allows you to burn more calories and trim excess weight.

Your challenge is to do 20 lunges every day! Bonus points if you add more weights to your lunges every week!

Please submit any fun photos from the challenge and they will posted in the next newsletter!
