YOURMOOVment Challenge
Now I’ve never been a fan of a “challenge” as it usually means you commit to something for the short-term and then go back to your usual habits and routine after the challenge ends.
My hope for you with this YOURMOOVment Challenge is that it helps you develop a positive relationship with Functional Strength training and it becomes something you enjoy and look forward to doing for the long-term.
As we move through Midlife and Menopause our muscle mass becomes so much more important for our functional health, our strength, our bone density and to ensure we stay independent as we age.
I’d love to help you stay consistent with your strength training and make it a part of your life. This is why I created this Challenge.
What’s included in the Challenge?
• A 4-Week Functional Strength Progressive Program delivered via an app. This includes 3x 35minute workouts each week. Every exercise has a video demonstration as well as a detailed text description.
• An optional 12 Week *Customised Online Nutritional Plan which is based on the foods you enjoy eating & includes “treat” foods and/or alcohol if chosen. This is NOT a restrictive diet plan, it’s designed around the goals you choose for yourself. It comes with a 4 Week, 8 Week & 12 Week email check-in with a qualified Nutritionist. You get 4 different meal plans to rotate through and you get to pick how those are broken up into meals/snacks throughout the day. Your dietary requirements are taken into account. You can read more about it by clicking the link above.
*It is important to make sure you’re eating enough to support muscle growth when you’re strength training.
**If you have chosen to get a Nutrition Plan and would like it to be ready by the start of the challenge, then please signup by 20th January. Otherwise I can’t promise your plan will be ready in time for the 27th January start date.
• A weekly video summary that will be put together by me, covering any questions that have come up through the week or any updates to the workouts or app. This will also include in depth technique demonstrations on all the major strength movements in the Challenge.
• At the end of the challenge you will have the option to sign up to my YOUR MOOV Functional Strength Program for a Forever discounted price. This program is delivered through the same app and is structured the same as the Challenge but comes with more options and variety.
• During the Challenge you can message me any time in the app and send me videos so I can check your form if you like.
How much is it?
If you choose to just do the strength program on its own, the cost will be $59 (Australian Dollars) & if you choose to include the Customised Online Nutrition Plan, it will cost $279 (Australian Dollars) or you can pay $55.80 (Australian Dollars) per week over the 5 weeks.
When does it start?
You will have access to the program from Monday 20th January 2025 but the Challenge will only start on Monday 27th January 2025. This means you have 7 days to familiarise yourself with the app and the workouts/exercises. I will send through a Video Summary on Sunday 26th January to answer any questions about the program that have come up during the Preview Week before we kick off on 27th.
What equipment will I need?
Depending on your current level of ability you may not need any equipment to begin with but I’ve kept it to a bare minimum of suggesting you have:
1x 3kg Dumbbell or Kettlebell
1x 5kg Dumbbell or Kettlebell
1x 7kg Dumbbell or Kettlebell
1x Light Microband Resistance Band
This Challenge is suitable for those who have Strength trained in the past as well as those of you who may be new to strength training. If you’ve strength trained in the past, you may already have a good idea of what weights you need & I’d suggest having at least one heavier option for squat/deadlift movements.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CHALLENGE:
“To be honest, this is the first challenge I have done that I haven't gone off track the very first week!”
“Day 3 complete and the first week! While each day is still challenging, I can feel my body responding better with each workout. My form is improving and I can notice which muscles are engaging and pay more attention to ensuring I am working the right ones with each exercise. Who knew in just one week I would notice and feel such improvement?!”
“I was lacking energy today. Normally I would have skipped working out due to lack of motivation. I decided to push through the feelings. I love that I was able to modify the exercises and reps to fit where my body is at today so that I could still get a great workout! Feeling accomplished!”
“Wow, I'm feeling it today! I am really appreciating how much focus there is on scapular work, Mary. I really need that and no doubt other women in midlife do as well. It seems to become a real weak point for us.“
“I am proud that I did this today. I feel like my body is waking up and remembering it can do more than sit in a chair!”
“This was great! After the warm up, I was thinking that I had already done more than I have tried to in a little while! Really pleased that I completed the whole workout, even if it was all the easiest exercises. Am celebrating because this is an achievement in itself. Bring on Wednesday!”
“Just a note to firstly say l am loving the program. The pace, the exercises, the demonstrations you provide, this interactive app - all amazing. Thank you so much.”
“I really am enjoying the flexibility of the workout options in the program. Of course the aim is building strength.. but for me personally, part of this challenge is building a habit, making time for myself. I'm always making sure everyone else in the family's cup is filled, and this is a challenge for me to find ways to make sure I take care of myself amongst the chaos.”
“On Saturday I took my mat to the park with the dogs and kids and did all the bodyweight options. The kids enjoyed the playground, dogs loved the park.. everyone's cup filled. I've also started looking forward to my workouts and choosing what I'm going to do.”
“Just wanted to say how pleased I am with my progression. I am having a go at exercises and intensities that I wouldn't have had the confidence to try if I were trying to do this on my own. Thank you!”
“Another week of workouts complete! It is so cool to feel how much my range of motion is improving and how much stronger I already am. And, best part, I am enjoying it! I love that I get to choose my own adventure, focusing on my goals, how I am feeling, and what my body is telling me. This is such a great program, Mary - thank you!”
