The Mama Olympics Challenge
Hi ladies,
In honor of the Olympics starting in Tokyo next week we will be doing a two week olympics challenge for all of our Expecting and Empowered mamas. This challenge is about keeping each other accountable but it is also about having some fun and supporting all of the incredible women competing at the Olympics this year.
Download your challenge sheet below!
Start date: The challenge begins on July 26th. Put the start date of your challenge along with your name at the top of your accountability sheet (linked above).
End date: This challenge runs two weeks so the challenge will end on August 9th. All entries will be due no later than 11:59 PM CST on August 9th. The winners will be announced on our Instagram story, and they will be emailed or direct messaged.
Challenge Sheet: Make sure you have the accountability challenge sheet printed or saved on your computer or phone. Over the next 2 weeks you will need to keep track of your workouts. challenge activities, etc and put the date that you completed each one in the circle. This challenge sheet looks a bit different than our typical ones because it is set up like a bingo card. You are free do everything in any order you desire. You will be entered to win various prizes based on how many circles you complete.
As always, this works on the honor system (because we cannot be there to check, although we wish we could give each of you a squeeze and encouragement).
Self Care Activity: This is a reminder to take time for YOURSELF to recharge and take care of yourself. This is something aside from your workouts. We’d suggest the self care activity takes at least 15 minutes. This could include meditation, heading to the coffee shop with a book by yourself, a pedicure, walking while listening to a podcast, a prenatal massage, or a bath. Whatever refreshes or improves life for YOU!
Cardio: Whatever type of cardio you enjoy best, its totally up to you.
Free Space: This is exactly what it says, a free space!
Olympic Activities and Competitions: We have included some fun mama competitions and activities for this challenge. For each of these boxes, we ask that you share a video or photo on your story, on your feed, or in a reel. If you do not feel comfortable sharing these that is totally fine, just email or DM us proof that you did them!
Best mom bun competition - Show us your best or funniest mom bun. Feel free to also give us a tutorial if you are a mom bun master.
Drop off dance - Hop out of the car while dropping off or picking up your kids from somewhere and drop it low. Prop your phone up and video yourself jamming to some music outside your car. If you are able to video people’s reactions to you even better!!!
