This 6-Week Clean Eating and Workout Challenge is perfect for beginners or even those who are advanced and looking for something new. It’s FREE and builds each week so you start small and quickly rack up wins to keep you moving forward!
Although we do live a healthy lifestyle year-round it’s always nice to have something to look forward to as a way to kick things up a notch. I thought I would share a little challenge that I created for myself. You can tailor this to your specific goals and I’ve outlined how I’m adjusting/adding to it below.

Note: When I first released this challenge we were six weeks from a trip so that is why I called it the 6-Week Vacation Challenge. You certainly don’t have to be going on vacation to do this – you can do it anytime. 😉
6-WEEK VACATION CHALLENGE
When you see 4X weight training and 3X cardio, that doesn’t mean that you are working out seven days per week. You always need 1-2 rest days per week. So you could do cardio after your weight training or on the days you aren’t weight training – just make sure to take your rest days!
WEIGHT TRAINING TIPS
- Strive for at least 20-30 minutes of weight training
- We have workout plans that walk you through every step (see more below)
- Switch it up with one of our FREE weight training workouts
CARDIO TIPS
- Strive for at least 30 minutes of fat-burning cardio
- We have cardio workouts galore, find your favorite here
CLEAN EATING TIPS
- You don’t have to deprive yourself just because you are avoiding soda, junk food, etc. Try one of our most popular recipes, you can’t go wrong!
- Need a meal plan? We have a 1,500 calorie meal plan and a 1,800 calorie meal plan
- Find a clean eating protein bar (Check the sugar content on yours though! We reviewed our favorite healthy protein bars here.) and/or clean eating protein powder that you love (using these as meal replacements when you are busy will help you stay on track)
- Flavor your water! Try one of our recipes:

Kimberly says
Hello – I’m starting this program tomorrow. I was laid off a couple months ago and Ive really let myself go. I’m looking forward to starting. This program seems logical and easy to follow. One question – what are the guideline for booze? Thanks!
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Kimberly! I’m so sorry to hear about your losing your job but I’m glad that you are ready to start this challenge. This year has been a difficult one for sure, for so many people.
If you can, I would avoid alcohol altogether as you will get the best results that way and feel your best also. However, for example, if we do drink it’s usually red wine or Vodka mixed with something like an ICE drink. I would definitely watch your “serving size” with alcohol as one glass of wine can quickly turn into 3. 😉
I hope this helps! Good luck.
