Tips for a Successful Summer Draft Challenge
This challenge is all about consistency, and consistency doesn’t happen by accident. Here are some tips to stay on track and make the most of your 30-day push:
1. Schedule Your Workouts Like Appointments
Pick your class days at the start of each week and add them to your calendar. Treat your workouts like non-negotiable meetings. Showing up for yourself is a priority.
2. Communicate With Your Team
If you're in a team track, create a group chat or check-in system with your teammates every week. Encourage each other, celebrate milestones, and coordinate your classes. Accountability gets stronger when everyone’s involved.
3. Mix Up Your Class Types
Stay excited and avoid burnout by rotating between the various fitness classes offered at The Combine of Oakland. Movement variety keeps the body challenged and the mind engaged.
4. Track Your Progress Visually
Use the in-studio leaderboard and your fitness journal or app to see your progress. Watching your tally grow is a motivating reminder of how far you’ve come.
5. Ask for Support When You Need It
