February Fitness Challenge
Posted 28th January 2023
We are excited to bring you the Fitmums & Friends February Fitness Challenge!
Devised by John Walker, assistant coach at East Hull Fitmums & Friends, the Fitmums & Friends February Fitness Challenge challenges you to complete a short workout every day during February. Each day offers a different challenge – some days are about strength and conditioning, others are fitness-focused. Completing them all will have you feeling fitter and stronger by the end of the month!
It’s super-easy to take part:
1) Check the programme to see what the day’s workout is:
2) Watch the videos to learn how to do the exercises and get the most out of them. Weekly videos explaining all the exercises in a week's workouts are below. If you would like to follow along with Assistant Coach John each day, daily videos are posted on our YouTube channel.
3) Do the workout – whenever it fits into your day, on your own or with your family, friends or club mates.
4) Feel fitter and stronger (and pleased with yourself!)
If you’re wondering why you should take on the challenge, strength and conditioning (S&C) exercises like these support your running, walking, cycling and other physical activities. By strengthening muscles, they make everyone more resilient and efficient in their chosen activity and less likely to suffer injuries. And for anyone training for a spring marathon or race, S&C is an essential part of your training programme. We also hope the challenge will motivate you to stay active through February, building on or reigniting your New Year fitness goals.
Remember to make sure you are properly warmed up before starting any of the workouts, and of course don’t forget to stretch afterwards. You can adapt the workouts to take into account any injuries or weaknesses you may have – if you are not sure what substitutions to make, just ask one of our coaching team.
We hope you’ll join us in doing the Fitmums & Friends February Fitness Challenge. We’d love to know how you’re getting on, so please share feedback, photos or videos to your club’s Facebook page or social group (or email them to comms@fitmums.org.uk if you prefer).
Good luck!
