The Doors Are Closed for the Summer Challenge: Join Our Waitlist Here
Are you looking for accountability, a fitness challenge, and just knowing that other people are doing this together with you? Challenges are a great way to help us reach our goals faster and stay more diligent in eating healthy and working out. That’s why we have have been launching our fitness Challenges! Although it’s easier when someone tells you exactly what to do, it’s more effective when you set your own goals and make an informed decision about what you want to do.
What Were the Details of the Previous H2O Life Summer Challenge?
This is YOUR challenge, so ultimately, you set the guidelines you want to follow. Our primary goal is to support you so you reach your own goals and to help you continue learning so that you’re doing things that make a difference in the long-run.
Here are the requirements for the challenge:
- Fill out the sign up form
- Pay the required fee: $25 (there are only a limited number of spots available)
- Commit to following the workouts/eating plan/personal goals every single day of the challenge: June 17-July 31st
- Share weekly updates via email, zoom calls, or you can post directly inside the H2O Life Facebook group. Anyone can make goals; we want to provide accountability for you to stay on track in the weeks ahead.
What Will I Get Out of This Challenge?
- Support within the H2O Life Facebook community and through email.
- An opportunity to set personal goals and accountability to help you stick with it.
- Group video calls to get feedback and ask questions throughout the challenge.
- A community who is also doing the challenge alongside you to support and encourage you along the way.
What is Involved in the H2O Life Challenge?
We want you setting your own goals and achieving them. We don’t want you simply following a list of do’s and don’ts. You’ll stick with it a lot more as you achieve your own goals. We don’t want you to sign up for something you can’t do consistently. At the same time, if it’s something you’re already doing all the time, you won’t see any different results in the weeks ahead.
The key is to be consistently moving toward the goals you want for yourself and making changes in areas that will move you forward. Here are some of the goals we recommend; tweak it to best suit your goals and season of life. Challenge yourself, but build it around the areas you want to see grow and change!
- Follow an eating plan of your choice. Personally, I think it’s better to go as natural and whole foods as possible. I would rather see you cutting out processed flours and sugars than cutting back amounts of food. A restrictive diet is not sustainable over time, whereas, eating healthier can be a tool you carry on with you after the challenge. We aren’t here to tell you what to eat and not eat. Find an eating plan you can stick to and follow it throughout the challenge. If you have an important family event (like a family birthday) during the challenge, just state that in your original goals that you’ll follow the meal plan every day of the challenge with the exception of that one day. Make a plan you can stick to.
- Workouts: good things happen when you get up and moving. Walking is a great way to get going if you’re not already doing a lot of movement. Adding in weights is amazing for gaining tone and definition, for both men and women. What is a good length of time or type of workout you can commit to during the next 45 days?
- An additional physical activity: I love adding in an additional physical challenge on top of a normal workout, something more catered to your own goals. It can be a 10-minute ab circuit, 100 pushups a day, working on pull-ups, 15 minute walks after dinner, just something that moves you closer to a fit life. If you do it for 45 days straight, it can make a huge difference in how you look and feel.
- Drinking water: It is recommended to drink 1/2 your body weight each day in ounces. For example, if someone weighs 200 pounds, they should drink at least 100 ounces of water each day. Just drinking more water or even adding 10 to 30 oz to the required amount can be a great fitness goal. Pro tip: Just make sure you hit it up earlier in the day, so that you’re not waking up thru the night for bathroom breaks.
- A spiritual or mental challenge: what’s something you aren’t already doing? Could you add in jumping in a cold plunge, reading a personal development book for 30 minutes before bed, or reading a chapter in the Bible? What’s a mental or spiritual challenge you can do every day that will help you become more of who you want to be?
- Anything else that will help you achieve the goals you have for yourself for 2025. Remember, this is your plan. No one is telling you what to do; but we’re here to support you in reaching your own desires and goals in the months ahead.
Really take your time in setting these goals. Make sure it’s something you can stick to but also something that “challenges” you and stretches you. It won’t make a difference if it’s all things you’re already doing every day. At the beginning of the challenge, we’ll have a video call to go over everyone’s goals. You can also post your goals in the group or send them via email. You’ve got between now and June 17th to really figure out a plan that works for you. Feel free to reach out with any questions as you set your goals!

A Few Examples of How You Can Set Up Your Challenge
Here are a few real-life examples of how you could set your goals for the challenge. This is just to get you started thinking. Of course, we want you to completely cater your goals to your own personal health and fitness goals and the season of life you’re in!
- Follow the fit mother project meal plan: stick with unprocessed food and avoid processed sugars and flours as much as possible. Enjoy plenty of whole foods. The only exception to this challenge is my son’s birthday.
- Complete a 30+ minutes cardio workout or fit mother project workout every single day of the challenge.
- In addition, complete an ab circuit (around 10 minutes) every single day.
- Drink 60 oz. of water each day. Aim to complete this before 7 pm to avoid it negatively affecting sleep.
- Read for 30 minutes each day. This helps me relax and grow, any kind of book is fine.
- Give myself grace during the 2 weeks that I’ll be traveling and working as a chaperone for a group of teenagers. Still try to achieve the goals, but give myself grace during those two trips. Otherwise, no exceptions to reaching these goals each day.
Second example of H2O Life Challenge Goals:
- Eat a Carnivore Diet; no exceptions.
- Complete a 45 minute weight workout, yoga, or walk each day.
- In addition, do 100 pushups per day (it can be spread throughout the day).
- Drink a gallon of water each day.
- Do a cold plunge each day.
- Write in my journal for 10 minutes a day.
- Do not use phone within 1 hour of bedtime (charge phone in separate room to help with this).
