All you need is 5-minutes a day to complete this 30 day fitness challenge!

What Sets This Challenge Apart From Other Fitness Challenges?

We’ve made this challenge specifically for Prime Women! One of the biggest complaints we hear is that Prime Women do not have enough time. So we’ve designed each day’s challenge to take only 5-15 minutes. Completing the daily challenge will mean you’re taking a few minutes a day and committing to yourself and your health. We also want to make sure if you participate you are not doing it alone and have accountability. Studies have shown that support and someone holding you accountable drastically increases your chances of completing a goal. That’s why we encourage you to join the Prime Women Facebook Group where thousands of other Prime Women are supporting one another during this challenge (and beyond!).

Meet The 30 Day Challenge Trainers!

We have partnered with several fitness experts who are Prime Women themselves. So every workout focuses on things women over 50 are dealing with.

Debra Atkinson

The strength and interval training will be led by Debra Atkinson, of Flipping50. Her workouts will build on one another, so as the month goes on and you want to challenge yourself, you can do her workouts back-to-back. These workouts will also focus on things Prime Women should be doing to work with their body for the best results!

Nicole Payseur

Yoga workouts have been created and will be led by Nicole Payseur of Om Yoga Diva. Her short sequences will have focus on an area of the body, like core, arms and others. They will also target areas of concern for Prime Women, like back and neck pain, posture, and stress!

Get Ready For The First Workout on Jan. 2nd And Make Sure You Have The Following Supplies:

Use light, moderate, and heavyweights to reach fatigue by 20 repetitions. For example, if you are just starting, you may want to use 2 pound, 5 pound, and 15-pound dumbells. This is just an example and not intended to replace your personal need to adjust your weights to your status. Err on the conservative side when you begin. You can always increase later.

No exercise is appropriate for everybody. The advice herein is not intended to replace or be a substitute for medical advice. If in doubt seek the advice of your physician.
