  2. Check emails for the latest challenge updates.

  4. Stay positive and focused! We’ll be there for you along the way. Let’s have fun and get fit together.

Will there be dedicated workouts for the 8-week challenge?

Yes! Our Certified Personal Trainers designed two 8-week programs with 5 workouts per week to progress you from beginner to more advanced workouts by March. It’s not required to follow these specific workouts and we encourage you to follow workouts that are best for your body and level of fitness.

If the 8-week programs aren’t for you, you can talk with our trainers one-on-one to help you make a plan.

You can find both workout plans in your Sworkit app starting January 1, 2021, and they are also in your 2021 New Year Challenge Workbook.

Should I make changes to my diet and nutrition during the challenge?

Eating foods that fuel your body is an important aspect of your fitness journey. What you eat can impact your ability to not only build or maintain lean muscle, but it can also influence your body’s ability to properly recover and prepare for your next workout.

We highly encourage everyone who joins the challenge to choose foods that will help them feel and perform their best during the challenge. While there is no one size fits all, this can begin by looking at food as fuel versus just eating a number of calories.

Tracking your food can also help you see the nutrients you are consuming as well as the nutrients you might be missing in any given day. A great way to do this is with the app MyFitnessPal, which syncs with Sworkit.

Here are some tips to get you started:

  • Increasing your plant-food intake (i.e. 1/2 your plate of greens and veggies)
  • Increasing water intake (1/2 your body weight in oz each day)
  • Increasing healthy fat (fish, nuts, seeds, and avocado)
  • Aiming for 25g of fiber each day to help you reduce body fat, digest normally, and regulate blood sugars (fruits and vegetables, nuts, and legumes)
  • Quality, minimally processed protein (***Many people are not hitting the recommended .5 – .8g of protein per pound of body weight. And even more when pregnant or injured. Some ideas for protein are eggs, chicken, fish, lean meats, lentils, beans, hummus, and quinoa.)

What is the age range that this challenge is intended for?

Our members are from all walks of life and a variety of different ages. Do you know what all of our members have in common? You want to live your best life — this is about living more comfortably and healthily. That’s why we’re all here.

Our workout plans can be modified and our Sworkit Trainers are here to help you personalize your workout plan and make adjustments as needed. To connect with a Sworkit Trainer, simply tap the “Ask a Trainer” button in the Sworkit app.

However, in order to be eligible to win prizes throughout the challenge, you must be 18 years or older.

Which program should I sign up for? Are there programs to choose from depending on my goals?

Depending on what you are trying to accomplish with Sworkit, we have provided 2 different programs: Lose Weight and Muscle Builder Programs!

Before you begin either of these workout programs, take a step back, and identify what your MAIN GOAL is with Sworkit. What are you trying to accomplish?

Are you mainly trying to lose weight? Or build muscle?

This will give you a good start on which program is right for you during the 2021 Sworkit Challenge!

Let’s dive into some of the differences between the two programs.

The Sworkit Lose-Weight program is an 8-week program that will provide fast, fun, home workouts that do not require any equipment! Get ready to burn a TON of calories with this high-intensity workout program. An incredible combination of bodyweight exercises will keep your heart rate up to burn calories and fat! This program is great if you get easily bored with the same workouts; every week is different and will help you dominate body fat.

The Trainer Steve Builder Program is an 8-week program designed to help you BUILD big, strong muscles! This program utilizes a variety of dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands in order to challenge your muscles and promote muscle growth! Each week includes a challenging plyometric workout in order to improve your athleticism! Abdominal training is included in each workout to develop your core musculature. This program will help you build muscle and get stronger.

These programs are both incredible! You can’t go wrong with either of them. You will see amazing success.
