Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics. This week’s Tuesday Topic: FREE topic!
During the Summer, OTF studios see a decrease in membership (mainly because people enjoy working out outside if possible). Because of this, the company normally runs some type of challenge. This year its a brand new challenge called the Push 30 Challenge. If you’re familiar with 75 Hard, it’s a variation of that, but way less strict. I could definitely use something to help keep me accountable so I’m looking forward to participating.
What is the Orangetheory Push 30 Challenge?
“The Push 30 Challenge is a 30-day challenge to commit to creating a fitness routine while tackling a holistic approach to health and wellness. This challenge goes beyond just physical exercise, but mental. Participants must complete a minimum of 15 workouts and complete 4 required tasks for the duration of the challenge. We want to encourage members to push past their comfort zone and gain confidence by accomplishing what they once thought was not possible.”
Here’s how I plan on tackling the required activities:
20 Minutes of Activity/Exercise
I will get the 20 minutes of activity from Peloton cycling or stretching classes.
5+ Minutes of Mindfulness
I’ll use the Peloton app to do 5 minute meditations daily.
Drink 2+L/68+oz of Water Daily
My hydroflask water bottle is 24 ounces so i just need to drink 3 of those a day. My goal will be to refill it every time I eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think this will probably be the easiest goal to accomplish since I drink a lot of water anyway, especially in the Spring/Summer.
Add or Subtract 1 Nutrition Opportunity
I am not going to subtract anything, but I am thinking of adding one smoothie per day to either replace breakfast or lunch. I always use spinach, berries, banana and protein powder when I make my smoothies so it can definitely replace a meal.
Complete 15 OTF workouts in June
I’ll stick to my normal OTF schedule of 3 classes during the week and a Lift45 class on Sunday morning. If I follow this schedule, this should give me 18 classes by the end of the month, so there’s a little room for error (in case I need to miss a class for work, etc).
Tell me: Are you doing any challenges this Summer to help stay on track?

Topic for next week – How will you celebrate Global Running Day?
Sounds like a tough challenge! You’ve been working so hard this year-I’m sure you’ll crush it!
Thanks Wendy!
Many of the points mentioned are things I want to recommit to in June! Big ones being more sleep, 2L of water a day, continued exercise of course (with strength being the main addition) and I’m adding mindfulness too. It’s winter here so it doesn’t always feel great to drink water or do anything that doesn’t involve a warm blanket, LOL, but looking forward to working on these healthy habits! Good luck to you! I know you’re going to kill it!
I definitely need to get more stretching done so that is something I am looking forward to committing to next month for sure!
This sounds like a good challenge. I like that the nutrition component is so flexible. I am doing a challenge in the Peloton Breakthrough Crew Facebook group. I bombed out of their May challenge so hopefully June will go better!
That’s what I liked too – I don’t do well with super restrictive challenges so I appreciate the flexibility.
Good luck on your challenge!
Ooh, this sounds like a great challenge. It sounds like something you’ll do really well in- you should have no problem getting in the extra 20 minutes of activity, and drinking 2 liters of water should be easy since water is your favorite drink : )
This is making me realize I need to be more specific with my summer goals. Instead of just saying it’s the “summer of strength” I need to plan how many days I’m going to the gym, plus all the extra things like sleep, protein intake, etc. I’ll be interested to hear how this challenge works out for you!
I love the “summer of strength” phrase! I’m sure you’ll get down a system that works for you this summer. Looking forward to seeing all your strength gains this summer!
Wow. It sounds tough to me… (even drinking water) I know you’ll get it done… good luck!
Thanks Darlene!
After DAM to DSM this weekend, I’m looking forward to less long-distance running & more “other stuff.” Obviously, I’ll be doing a lot more outdoor cycling, but I want to up my game with HITT (probably Pelo cycling once a week) & some speedwork for running. AND, I really need to focused on more stretching!
Although I hate the weather in the Summer it is nice because you get to explore so many more outdoor workout activities.
That sounds super doable and very rewarding. I am sure you will crush it. Always looking for new challenges to keep me motivated
I also like that it sounds very manageable – always its a great way for me to get back on track as I’ve been slipping lately with my food choices lol.
A tough challenge, you have to work hard. Good luck!
I have also the 15 workouts goal (including not less than 1 race) and the daily activity (walking and stretching).
Walking and stretching are both such great daily activities!
This is a great challenge! You are a dedicated person when it comes to workouts and doing good things for you and your body. I know you will get it done!
Thank you!
