Resolutions 30 Day Challenge

Welcome to the Resolutions Challenge! This is a 30 day challenge starting January 2nd, 2018 and runs through January 31st, 2018.

CHALLENGE CARD

If you are a Fun Run Box subscriber then you received the challenge card in your box. If you are a 30 Day Challenger, then you can download the card here and here.

The challenge card we provided contains a 30 day plan to work your core and get your running off on the right foot for the new year. As you complete each day, cross it out. The act of physically crossing out the workout on paper actually helps reinforce the daily habit!

THE APP

The FRB Fitness web app will be available for this challenge, check back a few days before the challenge starts for the link.

THE WORKOUTS

On the 'CORE' days, do the exercises indicated on the card for the amount of time allocated. For example, day 1 do CORE A for 5 minutes. CORE A consists of 5 pushups, 15 Russian twists, 20 V-Ups and a 30 second plank. You may not finish them all in 5 minutes, but if you do finish the set and have time remaining, then keep going until the time runs out! (this will get harder as the month goes on :D ). After the allocated time is up, do an easy run, you select the distance.

SHARE AND WIN

We are giving away 4 $25 FRB Gift Certificates this month! To play, post at least 5 workout photos during the month with the hashtags #FunRunBox and #FRBResolutions. Photos need to be posted on Instagram (if your account is public), Twitter, or to the Fun Run Box Facebook page.

WORKOUT GUIDE

Use the descriptions below to assist in understanding the workouts listed on the challenge card. Questions? No problem, send us a message.

CORE A

Pushups

Lie on the ground and place your hand on the ground a little wider than shoulder width apart. Keep your body in a straight line as you push up. Bring your body back down until your arm forms a 90 degree angle. Repeat. Common mistakes are arching your back or letting it sag and letting your forehead touch while your butt stays in the air. 
Too hard? Keep your knees on the ground.

Russian Twists

Sit on the floor with your feet flat and your knees bent 90 degrees. Hold your hands together in front of you. Contract your abs. Lift your feet off the floor. Rotate your torso from side to side.

V-Ups

Lay on the ground with your arms extended behind your head. Keep your legs straight and lift them up while raising your upper body off of the floor. Reach for your toes with your hands. Squeeze your abdominal muscles as you reach for you toes. Slowly lower yourself back down to the floor and repeat.

Plank

Start in the push up position but bend your elbows and rest your weight on your forearms. Form a straight line from your head to your feet. Keep your abs tight. Hold the position for 30 seconds

CORE B

Pushups

Same as above.

Squats

** If you have knee problems, skip this.
Place your feet shoulder width apart, face forward and hold your chest up and out. Clasp your hands in front of you. Sit down like there was a chair under you. Keep lowering yourself until your thighs are parallel with the floor. Keep your knees over your ankles and your weight on your heels. Return to the starting position.

Wall Sit

Stand with your back against a wall. Slide your feet forward and your back down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Hold for 30 seconds. If 30 seconds is too hard, do what is comfortable for you. Likewise, if it is too easy, then go longer. 

Plank

Same as above.
