Tips for Success
💡 Stay consistent – It’s better to do a short workout daily than skip days.
💡 Track progress – Use a notebook or fitness app to track reps and how you feel.
💡 Rest and recovery – Take a rest day every 7th day or when needed.
💡 Hydration & nutrition – Drink plenty of water and eat clean, whole foods.
💡 Stay motivated – Take progress pictures or find a workout buddy online.
Nutrition Matters Too
Exercise is only half of the journey. Here are some nutrition tips to support your transformation:
Eat lean proteins (chicken, eggs, lentils)
Include healthy carbs (oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice)
Eat lots of veggies and fruits
Avoid sugary snacks and junk food
Don’t skip meals – fuel your body
You can also try natural protein shakes (no powders) using bananas, peanut butter, oats, and milk for post-workout recovery.
Benefits You’ll Notice in 30 Days

Once the challenge ends, don’t stop! You can:
Repeat the challenge with added intensity
Try new workouts like yoga or pilates
Join online fitness communities

Fitness is a journey, not a one-time event.
