Free meal plan, detox: Join our January workout challenge!

In less than 48 hours, the new year will arrive and we'll be alive to welcome it, God willing. I'm pretty sure loads of people already have their "new year resolutions" and they're waiting to activate them by January 1st.

Research has shown that most people add alot of weight during the Christmas and New year break and some go on to include weightloss in their new year resolutions. I personally think that everyone should have "an everyday resolution" instead of waiting for the New Year, but there's really nothing wrong with making new resolutions.

For everyone looking to lose weight in the new year or simply live a healthier and revitalised life, this workout challenge is for you!

As I write this, we already have over 10 participants from Instagram and twitter, so sign up for this already! This challenge will be kicking off on January 5th, so this gives you time to evaluate your health and also follow the guidelines in order to enjoy the full benefits.

Exercises

The exercises incolved in this challenge are bodyweight exercises that require no equipment. This means you can workout right there in your room and achieve maximum results.
Commence with warmup by skipping or jogging on a spot (for those looking to lose weight, aim to jog or skip for at least 10 minutes). Now that you've completed this phase, move on to the following;

1. Squats:

Squats work your entire lower body and keep your core in check. Squats will also help you get rid of cellulites as it tones your thighs and increases the size of your booty!
I like to start with traditional squats because they get your heart pumping and set you in motion for other exercises to follow. Do 20 squats for 3-5 sets

2. Pushups:

Push ups are great upper body exercises that work your chest and your arms. If you're looking to give your breasts  a nice lift and also combat your flabby arms or get extra toned arms, pushups are the way to go! Do 10-20 reps for 3-5sets

3. Full Planks:

I love planks from the bottom of my heart because aside being great for toned abs and flat belly, they also work the core. The importance of keeping your core in great condition can never be overemphasized. Get in the full plank position and hold it for 30-60 secs for 1 rep, repeat 3-5 times.

4. Sit ups:

 Doing traditional sit ups is arguably the oldest way of working the midsection to produce a flat belly and firm abs, but they are very effective and top on my list of belly exercises! Do 20 reps for 3-5 sets

5. Leg Lifts:

This is another belly exercise that will work your entire mid section, primarily your lower abs. If you're looking to get rid of lower belly pouch, this is one of  the exercise to make your obsession! Do 20 reps for 3-5 times.

6. Lunges:

The lunge exercise is second to squats as far as lower body building goes.
Get in the lunge position on one leg and hold it for 30 seconds. After completing 30 seconds on one leg, alternate and continue this process for 3-5 sets. 30secs on each leg equals 1 set
.
These are basic exercises that would work your entire body. To get the best out of these exercises, do them in a circuit. Try to finish all the exercises without breaking the circuit. After each set take a maximum of 30-40 secs break, then continue until you finish your required number of sets.

Requirements
1. Water
2. Your body weight
3. Music for motivation

Tips
1.To get the best out of this challenge aim to work out 5-6 days a week.
