TL;DR:
Think of movement as your wellness multivitamin—small, consistent habits that add up to big change. The Foundations Challenge is built around this idea: 7 days, 10 minutes a day, with simple, back-to-basics classes that reset your body and mind. Pair it with smart nutrition, solid sleep, and stress management, and you’ve got a formula for feeling better—fast.
Back to Basics: Why We Built the Foundations Challenge
In wellness, it’s easy to think more = better. Longer workouts, stricter diets, endless to-do lists. But the truth? Consistency beats intensity—every time.
That’s the heart of The Foundations Challenge: one intentional, 10-minute class a day, designed to help you reset without overwhelm.
“Movement doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective,” says Melody D., obé Senior Director and women’s health coach.
“Think of it like taking your daily supplement—you’re not trying to do everything at once. You’re giving your body the essentials it needs to feel strong, clear, and balanced.”
The Daily Multivitamin for Your Body (Spoiler: It’s Movement)
Each day of The Foundations Challenge hits a different wellness “nutrient”:
Strength → Build resilience in your muscles and joints.
Sculpt & Pilates → Improve posture, balance, and core control.
Conditioning & Dance → Support heart health and boost energy.
Breathwork & Stretch → Calm your nervous system and aid recovery.
It’s a full-body, whole-self reset—done in less time than your morning scroll.
✨ “Movement isn’t extra. It’s essential.”
Small, Consistent Habits = Big Wellness Wins
A challenge like this works best when paired with other pillars of health—a 360º wellness check-in:
🥗 Nutrition
Food works best when balanced, not extreme. Prioritize protein to support muscle repair, add colorful veggies for micronutrients, and don’t fear carbs—they’re your body’s main energy source. For more guidance, check out our Nutrition Fundamentals Course.
😴 Sleep
Your body rebuilds while you rest. Aim for 7–9 hours a night and set a consistent bedtime.
“Sleep is non-negotiable if you want your workouts to count,” Melody D. reminds us.

🧘 Stress Management
Movement is stress relief, but layering in mindfulness amplifies the effect. Journaling, short meditations, or a quick breathwork session from the Foundations Challenge can help. Explore our Wellness for Stress Management Course for more support.
💧 Hydration
Underrated but essential. Dehydration can tank your energy, mood, and performance. Keep a water bottle nearby during your challenge week. Learn more in our Hydration Blog.
✨ “One move a day = big shifts over time.”
Why 10 Minutes a Day Works Better Than an Hour Once a Week
Science shows that short bursts of exercise improve mood, energy, and cognitive function—sometimes even more effectively than longer sessions because they’re easier to stick with.
“The most effective workout is the one you can actually do,” says Melody.
“Ten minutes might feel small in the moment, but stack that every day for a week, and you’ll be surprised at how quickly you notice the shift.”
✨ “Ten minutes a day > zero minutes a day.”
