Grandmother Violet Says Something Witty Challenge: 5 V-ups
Hands down, my favorite character is Violet. I mean, how can you not adore her effortless elegance and brilliant wit? She can make me laugh until my stomach is sore. And oh, how sore your stomach will be when you do five v-ups for each one of her witty remarks!

Downton Abbey takes place in England, so you know they drink a lot of tea! I guess that means your calves will look amazing by the end of this season!

Daisy Gets Criticized

Daisy Gets Criticized Challenge: 30-second Chair Pose
Daisy can't catch a break, can she? She gets criticized so often, it must be rough to find the motivation to work every day. So don't let her suffer alone! Hold a chair pose for 30 seconds every time someone criticizes her.

Violet and Isobel Bicker

Violet and Isobel Bicker Challenge: 10 Tricep Pushups
You would think that they would have ironed out all of their issues by season six, but these women still unleash their passive aggressive hostility on each other from time to time. Hopefully they won't bicker too often, because every time they do, you have to drop and give me ten! If you're not used to tricep push ups, watch this video to make sure you do them properly.

Thomas Makes a Rude Comment

Thomas Makes a Rude Comment Challenge: 30-second Reverse Plank
I guess no one ever taught Thomas how to keep his thoughts to himself. Whenever you hear one of his rude remarks, get into a reverse plank, just as shown below. Make sure you do a reverse plank so you can still enjoy his suave demeanor as he delivers the snide comment.
