February Challenge
28 Days of Barre

​

Welcome to The February Challenge, where you are going to commit to completing one video a day, dedicating time for yourself. It's not about wearing yourself out over the month. Instead, you will build a healthy habit/routine of movement, a better focus on form and, of course, improved fitness, strength and mobility.

​

​

Each day is planned out for you but you can switch things up. Just do something. If you're too tired, you can go for a walk, or even start a shorter video - you'd be surprised about what you can achieve once you commit to start. After you complete each video, you can make a note on how you felt and track your progress. 

​

Order does not matter. My programming is a guide. You don't have to do each day in a row. Here are some ways you can customise it:

​

  • If you plan on attending a live class, you can do that instead of a video.

  • For example, if you want to do Wednesday's workout on Monday because it suits you better, then you can do that and tick it off. It doesn't matter that you're not completing workouts in order.

  • If you want to go for a run (or other exercise) instead of a video, you can note that in the tracker. It is a barre challenge but I understand you do other things too. 

​

Note: Things happen, schedules change and last minute plans come up. You can take longer than 28 days to complete this if you want. It will not expire. Instead of skipping a workout, you can always take a day to do a different activity and pick up where you left off. 

​

Formally join the challenge and track your challenge progress here.

If none of these videos suit you (e.g. time constraints), head to the bottom to the quick wins section.

Week 1 

Day 1: Kick Off - Parallel

Goal: I want you to feel ready to start the February Challenge. In this video we work through a series of moves to remind our body of some of the key moves and form cues. Take your time and ease yourself into this workout. This is getting you prepped for the week ahead. And this day next week we'll up the anti. This is not meant to kill you.​

​

There are 2 recommended videos here. They are the same workout, but one is cut short but cutting out the abs & arms. If you're pregnant or taking it east, the shorter one is the one for you.

Day 2: Connected Core 

Goal: I want you to clear your mind as you begin this video and put your focus into how your core feels during these moves. We want a nice activated core at all times. Constantly think about your belly button being pulled to your spine. If you find it hard to engage your core, make your movements smaller. When lying on your back please keep your lower back pressing into the mat. The movements are not hard - it's about how stable you can be in your core.​

​

If you're short on time, you can hit up the 15 min abs below.

Day 3: Mid Week Burn - Turn out

Goal: Here we get to build upon the basics and complete a whole workout in turn out. This workout will use your deep rotator muscles located in the side of your glutes. We will build up these steps in the coming weeks. Enjoy the challenge and remember, we're taking our time.

Day 4: Brief Upper Body Blast

Goal: We are going to give the legs a break and focus on the upper body. Grab your cans and get ready for little movements that are going to get the shakes going. Remember core control is key here. And keep your shoulders drawing down your back. Mind into the muscle and tryyyyy not to drop the arms until I tell you. Pretend I can see you!😉

Day 5: Fun Friday Glute Video

Goal: You can choose between the two workout videos - whether you want to include bridges or not. Again, core is going to be key to support yourself as you move the glutes. Take your time, mind into your glute and make the movements smaller if you need. If you're short on time there's another option for you.

​

Tips: 

  • Breathe as you move into the stretch. 

  • No sudden movements.
