Challenge Purpose
This Challenge is designed to help you build consistency in your workouts, whether you’re new to PATHFINDER, returning after a rough patch, or just need something to keep you honest. You’ll train daily for a set number of consecutive days, no exceptions. The goal: don’t break the streak.
Before you begin, block out time on your calendar. A missed day means the streak resets and, depending on where you are in the Class cycle, that might put this Challenge out of reach. Have a Plan B in place (early sessions, recovery days, alternate workout options) so you're ready when the unexpected happens.
Challenge Parameters
-
Minimum workout duration: 20 minutes.
-
Choose workouts based on your goals. If you're training for endurance, make your sessions align. If general fitness is your focus, pick what keeps you consistent.
-
45 minutes is still the ideal daily target when possible, even during streaks.
-
You should aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity activity, per AHA guidelines.
-
PATHFINDER workouts, outside programs, and self-designed sessions all count.
The following types of workouts qualify:
-
PATHFINDER workouts (of 20+ minutes)
-
Bodyweight, banded, or strength workouts from any source
-
Mobility or recovery-focused sessions (e.g., low-intensity movement)
-
Yoga or Pilates (especially on recovery days)
What doesn’t count:
-
Passive stretching
-
Meditation-only sessions
-
Anything under 20 minutes
