Fitness to me isn’t about a crunch or push-up, it’s about taking your power back. — Jillian Michaels

This year is jam-packed with 30-day challenges. I’ve put up a list of 50 different 30-day challenges for living a healthy and productive life.

I’m taking advantage of the flexibility that comes with working from home. After completing or failing each challenge, I will share my experience from a learning perspective.

Exercise: How much do you need every day?

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an adult between 18–64 years old needs at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of strenuous exercise every week to live a healthy life.

That’s roughly 21 minutes of moderate and 11 minutes of vigorous activity each day.

However, only 22.9% of American adults meet this recommended criteria weekly.
