3. Chin up Challenge

Lacking muscle tone in your shoulders and core? Embark on a chin up challenge by focusing on performing as many chin ups as you possibly can. Chin ups develop strength in your back, shoulders and core. When beginning, do not be surprised if you have trouble performing just one, simply hanging from the bar will help you to gain strength. But as you get stronger, you will see a difference in your ability to lift your body up. Make a goal of performing 3-7 by the end of the month.

4. Core Challenge

Start introducing more abdominal exercises into your fitness regimen so you gain more strength. Better yet, dedicate one workout completely to core exercises. Perform the plank, crunches, side crunches, and superman and repeat for 3 sets.

5. Squat Challenge

To tone your legs and glutes, while boosting your metabolism, add some squats into your training. To challenge yourself to new results, make a goal to increase your squat hold by a minute each week. In 4 weeks you will be up to 4 minutes, and will have boosted your metabolism by building lean muscle, looking great as a result!
