Memorial Day is just around the corner, which means one thing: summer is almost here.
So I thought it would be really fun to start getting ready for summer with a 5 day workout challenge with daily videos, prizes, and more!
The reason I wanted to do this specific challenge is that while we all want to look good on the beach, it’s so much more important to both look and feel good—and pushing your personal limits and getting stronger is the best way to do that.
It’s going to be AWESOME!
Watch this short video to learn how to take part in the Strong for Summer 5 Day Workout Challenge, or read the rules below:
How to take part in the #summerstrong challenge
Here’s everything you need to know to take part in the challenge:
The Strong for Summer 5 Day Workout Challenge officially starts next Monday, May 18th.
Each day, we’ll be focusing on one particular exercise to get you fitter and stronger, then do a HIIT workout for that day that incorporates that exercise. I’ll also tell you about any beginner or advanced variations of the exercise that you need to know about.
Every day that you take part in the challenge you have a chance to win 5 awesome #noexcuses wristbands. To enter the daily raffle, here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Take a photo or video of yourself during or after that day’s workout.
- Follow @12minuteathlete then tag the hashtag #summerstrong on Twitter or Instagram.
- I’ll pick my favorite for that day so get creative!
It gets better: each day that you do one of the workouts and use the #summerstrong hashtag, you’ll also be entered in a raffle for the entire week to win one month’s coaching (worth $375!), a 12 Minute Athlete t-shirt or tank top, and a pack of 20 #noexcuses wristbands for you and your friends.
So the more workouts you do, the more likely you are to win.
You’ve got this!
Give it all you’ve got
Keep in mind that this challenge is all about pushing your personal limits and bringing out your inner athlete, no matter what your current fitness level is.
So don’t think you have to already be in really good shape to take part. Just work as hard as you can, and remember to have fun!
I’ll be posting the videos for the workouts by 7am PST, so don’t forget to subscribe to the 12 Minute Athlete YouTube channel and follow me on Twitter or Instagram @12minuteathlete to get all the updates and videos for the challenge.
Summer strong!
Are you going to do the challenge? Tweet It!
It would be great to start on Monday morning. I can only realistically workout at something like 5 in the morning, so if you’re posting at 7am, I wouldn’t be able to start until the next day! Perhaps you’d be able to post something in the late evening before so other early birds like myself can take part right away?
I like the idea of these little challenges.

Ok, I think you’re right Jason – we’ll change it to 5am PST. For everyone in a different time zone, I’ll definitely keep that in mind next time (sorry!) but for this one you’re going to have to deal with it going out the morning of 🙂
The night before would be cool. Theres lots of different time zones out there too… 🙂
Awesome! Will you email the sessions as well?
yep! 🙂
I came looking for a chiropractor for our Vango event in Little Italy and found your website. I absolutely adore it!!! #getmemotivated #summerstrongchallenge
So those of us who don’t have a twitter or instagram can do it but won’t be able to enter in any of the raffle stuff?
Btw just to clarify, the videos will go live on YouTube at 5am but won’t show up on the site or in your inbox till a bit later.
It’s weds…so can I still join? Today will be my monday, if that’s ok? Stay strong!
Thanks
Yes! You can join along any day 🙂
Hi, what happened to the workouts for days 3 and 4? I, 2, and 5 are all found, but I thought it would be good to repeat this 5-day sequence the first week of every month.
