It’s time to feel our best, obé: Let’s say yes to our strongest summer yet—together. Starting June 21, you’re invited to join our 2-week Summer Strong Workout Challenge. (You’ll be able to sign up starting Tuesday, June 21—find it under the Programs tab online or in your obé app.)
The Details
The Summer Strong Workout Challenge has 14 Express classes including Strength, Sculpt, Cardio Boxing, HIIT, and Stretch. Think of it as a sampler platter across different obé class types, taught by our amazing obé instructors: Walter K., Dorian C., Alex S., Liz C., Sam G., Mary W., and Lulu S. Every class is just 10 minutes, so it’s super easy to fit into your schedule or add to another class!
You don’t need any equipment for the workout challenge—just your beautiful body. If you want to #LevelUp, grab a set of weights or a towel. (This makes it easy to take on the road this summer, too, if you’re traveling!)
As for the benefits? You’ll build healthy habits (more on that below!), boost your confidence, and feel less stressed. Plus, there’s a limited-time bonus you won’t want to miss: Finish all 14 classes in the workout challenge by July 4 to get a free box of healthy, chef-crafted meals (valued at up to $70!) from our friends at Sunbasket.* (If you complete the challenge, look out for an email on July 5 with all the details on how to claim your reward! Terms and conditions below.)
What Good Can Just 10 Minutes Do?
A lot! Exercising for just 10 minutes a day can make a difference—and can in fact have lasting, measurable effects on your health.
In terms of physical health: This study found that 10 minutes of walking a day can improve cardio fitness in women, while another study showed that short periods of exercise can reduce the risk of diabetes and help control blood sugar levels. Bonus: You might find that you’re even more present and able to work harder during these 10-minute classes than you would be in a longer class thanks to the short time frame!
Short workouts also benefit your mental health in a major way. This study showed that even a short, 10-minute burst of exercise can measurably boost your brainpower, helping you problem-solve and focus. Plus, researchers studying how exercise impacts anxiety and depression have found that a 10-minute walk may be just as good as a 45-minute workout!
Finally, committing to—and finishing!—a challenge like this also helps you stick with exercise in the long run. The short, 10-minute classes make it doable: You can fit in these “micro-workouts” anytime: when you wake up, on a lunch break, or as an afternoon pick-me-up. Completing a workout, no matter the length, every day is a surefire way to give you a sense of accomplishment to carry throughout your day—and help kickstart a lasting, healthy routine.
Workout Challenges vs. Workout Programs
A quick note on the difference between programs and challenges on obé: Programs are all about progressive training. In a program, you’ll complete a series of workouts designed to help you work toward a fitness goal such as losing weight, building strength, or improving a skill. Your progress is measurable and trackable, through data points such as weights/resistance, endurance, or rating of perceived exertion.
On the other hand, Workout Challenges involve a series of custom classes combined around a certain theme, goal, skill, or task. They’re designed to be taken in a certain order over a certain period of time, but most likely are not progressive in terms of programming or intended to produce fitness-centric goals.
