This 30-Day Planksgiving Challenge will work your entire body but more specifically your core and arms, sometimes with a little cardio thrown in. We’ll also be adding in a thanks and giving challenge each day too!
PLANKSGIVING CHALLENGE
Ready for a 30-day challenge full of planks, thanks, and giving?!
We’re changing Thanksgiving to Planksgiving for this fun 30-day challenge. When you join us for this challenge, for the month of November, each day we will all be doing a plank, giving, and thanking.
You can find all of the challenges at the end of this article so that you can print them off if you choose (print off two copies of the blank challenge: one for thanks and one for giving). Let’s start with the plank challenge:
PLANK CHALLENGE
For the plank challenge, a different plank is listed each day for 30 days. You will hold (or do) each plank for 30 seconds to begin with. If you are more advanced, the next time you have that same type of plank try to double your time. If you are more of a beginner try adding 10 seconds each time you see that same plank listed again.
On Thanksgiving (which falls on November 28th this year), you have a combo of planks. This means that you will do each type of plank that you have been working on (for a total of 7 different planks).
Read more about the different types of planks here.
GIVING CHALLENGE
This giving part of the challenge is to give each day during the month of November. This challenge doesn’t have to include a large investment of time or money (unless you want it to!). Be creative here. Below are a few general ideas.
- Volunteer (animal shelter, food pantry, hospital)
- Donate money (you could donate a small amount each day to a different charity as your challenge or donate one day as one challenge)
- Donate clothes, household items, coats, towels
- Call or visit someone important to you
- Visit a children’s hospital or nursing home
- Send a card
Specific ideas:
- Donate a turkey to a needy family for their Thanksgiving meal
- Tip more than normal
- Celebrate your family Thanksgiving on a different day and volunteer to serve others on Thanksgiving Day.
- Spend a few hours at your local animal shelter. Take the dogs on a walk and play with the cats.
THANKS CHALLENGE
This is all I will tell you about this challenge: write down something you are thankful for each day (no matter how small)
