Staying active doesn't have to be boring or complicated. Weekly exercise challenges are a fun way to build new habits, stay motivated, and track your progress. Whether you're new to fitness or looking to add variety to your routine, these ideas are simple enough for anyone to follow.

Why Try a Weekly Fitness Challenge?

A weekly challenge gives you a short-term goal to focus on. It's easier to commit to seven days than an entire month, especially when you're just starting. These challenges help build consistency, improve strength, and make workouts more exciting.
