Day 1

Today, we begin!!!

Welcome to Day One of the Autoimmune Strong Challenge! 

I am so excited to start this journey with you and I can’t wait to see what you learn about yourself over the next 14 days.

Here we go! 

For today’s first exercise, you are going to learn ab bracing. It’s an essential core exercise that can be done anywhere (even in bed!), no workout clothes needed. It’s so super effective when done consistently. You are going to love it! 

Here is your Challenge for today: 

• Step #1: Learn:

  • Watch this short clip where I teach the ab bracing exercise.

    *Note: This is just a short clip of a much longer exercise video, to keep things simple. If you want to watch the longer instructional video, you may do so here.
    

• Step #2: Modify:

  • If you would prefer a non-floor option, please watch this modification video, to learn how to do it standing or in a chair. 
    

• Step #3: Practice:

  • Try holding the “suck tuck and squeeze” for 5 to 10 seconds. Rest and repeat 1 more time.

    • Does that feel like too much? Do less! Holding even for 2 seconds 1 time is a great start! 

    • Does that feel like too little? That’s okay. I recommend starting very small and building up. Doing too much in the beginning can often set you back, so I encourage you to trust the process. I promise there is a method to my madness!
      

• Step #4: Share!

  • Want to share your Day One experiences with others? Or do you have questions to ask me and the coaches? Click here to post on the Facebook Group.

    ** I guarantee that whatever you experienced, someone else needs to hear about it. So please share if you feel comfortable. 
    

Remember: slow and steady wins the race, and a little bit goes a long way. 

I believe in you! You ARE Autoimmune Strong!

In Strength + Love. 

Your Coach, 
Andrea
