Here is my Lifestyle Improvement Challenge, which is all about focusing on the key areas that help to promote a healthy lifestyle.

So I thought it would be fun to have a challenge based around a theme of an academy you are going to be learning about many aspects of creating a healthier lifestyle so my aim is to give you as much knowledge as I can.

I will refer to our challenge as a term and have created you a download booklet  (opposite) which has details of all the subjects we are going to be covering and how you can score yourself at the beginning and at the end of this challenge. My aim for this is to simply help improve your lifestyle so you can improve your mental and physical health. As I always say “knowledge is power” I want to teach you ways to get the best results.

 

 

HOW IT WORKS

Firstly, download your training guide which has all the details of this challenge.

Then each day here on this page (you will see below), I will be posting up a workout and a lifestyle challenge for you to do on that day. I will be adding more days as we progress through the term.

The first lesson starts on Monday the 5th at 9am (GMT) which will be an exclusive brand new workout.

This will be on my YouTube Channel and I will be supplying you with the link on Monday morning.

Today we are going to work on your step count with a lovely uplifting workout, this is designed to also help reduce stress and anxiety. This workout  will be live  on Monday at 9am. I suggest you do this in the morning and in the afternoon to help get your step count up.
